What, the snow? Or the on-site debris and garbage?

Lol that debris field is staying until the site is sold to a new owner that actually cares about it.

Hey go easy on poor Raj, they didn't know there was a vault in that bank they were taking down!

I swear it came out of nowhere!

The for sale sign is gone? The site has been sold...?

Now is the time for baseless speculation!

I think it it's going to be a new hotel/residential tower that's at least 180m tall with a 2-storey CRU catering to a downtown Zara facing 102 Ave and another Sabor as the hotel restaurant.

And idk maybe it's bought by a Swedish pension fund lol

McDonald's drive-thru!

I'll show myself out...

Typically when a property has been sold -- especially one so prominent on the City scene -- the "for sale" sign is replaced with a "sold" sign so that the transaction realtor can curry the bragging rights. More likely the contract term expired and the realtor was asked to remove the sign.

A very cynical thought ... was the contract term set to be just long enough for all the negative media coverage happening at the time to die down or be forgotten?

I have been told that Westrich Pacific has purchased this site with the intention of beautifying in the short time while they consider their options for development.

I'm sure there are people on this forum that can comment much more accurately than me

But, if true, I think that is fantastic news.

@IanO Sir if you don't confirm or deny within the next 10 business days, I will write you a very stern DM on LinkedIn.

I don't know you to peddle false hope -- you've been right in the past about other transactions -- so I'm praying your good reputation will continue here. Thanks for sharing.

If WP is involved, surely Ian knows something.
