Yes. The building was bought by Old Stonehedge Development Corp and is being converted into The George which will include a Sonder Hotel (www.georgeresidences.ca)

The LCBO is NOT moving into this development. First Gulf has planned for space for the LCBO in their new development, if it ever happens.

And the St. Lawrence Market!

I'm not sure what your point is when you say "AND a grocery store." This was a Sobey's Urban Fresh store that closed at the same time as Sobey's closed other Urban Fresh stores (2014). The site clearing didn't start until 2018 so Sobeys made a business decision to close the store...

Of course they had very different aspirations. One is a purpose-built rental development with $200 million in government financing and one is another basic standard private condo development.

This won't be another pot shop. Fire & Flower wasn't allowed to open as the space is too close to the school.

I guess there's no need for me to say I told you so. Oh, wait.....TOLD YOU SO.

I heard that they're firm on the deal but it hasn't closed yet. Will be publicly announced after the closing.

Woodbine Centre has been sold to Amazon.

It's Oliver & Bonacini. They've leased approximately 70,000 sq.ft. of the restaurant space and will be opening and operating a number of different concepts.

Contrary to everything in the media, I've heard a rumour that Shopify is negotiating to exercise their right to lease more office space in this development.

This is a good initiative, but I wonder if any of their tenants are following the advice of Parkdale Organize to not pay their rent.

The site was sold in July 2018 to Mutual Developments. They are supposedly working on a revised proposal.

I'm not sure how recent this is, but Oliva at Front and Frederick is dark. There is no sign on the door, so not sure what's happening, but I did also notice earlier this week that their Yonge and Sheppard (Avondale) location appears empty (though I was in the car and didn't stop to check).

Just read an article on CoStar that Allied Properties has bought the building where The Old Spaghetti Factory is located, but that as part of the purchase from the same family that owns the restaurant, they've extended the lease for the restaurant for another 10 years.

There's also this article on CoStar about its work stoppage that came out today, although it's Paywalled: https://www.costar.com/article/2072942666 I'm a CoStar subscriber and just read the article. Just to confirm information already provided in this thread, here's a quote from the City...

It's important to note that this is a 1 year pilot project to gauge merchant and consumer response. Needless to say, there has been lots of pushback from some of the merchants, so if the change in hours is something that you support, make sure to spread the word and shop as often as possible...
