A downtown restaurant is being demolished this week as crews clear the way for the Saxony condo development.

The two-storey Melodia Mediterranean Cuisine & Bar is located directly across from the Burlington Performing Arts Centre.

Previously, the 1445 Elgin Street property, at the corner of Locust Street, had housed 50/50 Restaurant.

Work at the site has been ongoing over the past few months to prepare the site for a new condo development.
