Amnesia; I haven't heard from Riocan about Chipotle but it's easy to speculate. They still haven't recovered from the health scares in 2015 which cut their stock price in half. They had forecast 195-210 new store openings in 2017 but only opened a number under the low end of...

I had doubts about Potatopia in unit 204 and Popeye's Chicken in unit 206 opening as I hadn't seen any equipment installed, while 3 new food retailers had strong openings this week. I just received confirmation that Potatopia and Popeye's will open early 2018.

Grill It Up's refusal to pay their rent resulted in the lease being terminated by Riocan.

After a long, much anticipated wait, 3 new companies opened today in the food court; Villa Medina (Middle eastern), Butterchick (East Indian) training staff and ready for diners Dec. 22, and Thai Express. Everything looked very fresh and they both had lineups through the lunch hours. That leaves...

I've tried them; they're large and very good but not cheap at $3.75 each. Here's a deal for you; only $2. every Tues. To get a "free" pretzel after signing up, you have to buy 9 pretzels at regular price or 13 at $2. Each pretzel is about 483 calories before toppings and very high in sodium...

My retail map still shows Chipotle in unit 118A with an Apr. 2018 date. Here's the link I use for that map. http://riocan.com/docs/default-source/default-document-library/yongesheppardcentre_toronto.pdf?sfvrsn=2 What link do you use?

Amnesia said, "Chipotle might be backing out. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the mall though. They've been in some turmoil lately, and their same-store sales are still down 20% from two years ago, which led to their Founder/CEO resigning." Seems to be a hunch on your part pending...

Mint; It's the Bazis way of doing business. Delay, frustrate your callers and emailers, and hope they'll go away. They tried that numerous times with city departments and TTC during the tunnel construction but found it doesn't work. They never learn. I emailed their "info" site...

Amnesia; That is not the issue. The issue was trying to correct builder error in that the heavy glass doors had an electric door opener and wall mount activation button on the inside of the building to get out but no door opener or activation button on the outside for those...

Amnesia; You must broaden your outlook.That elevator goes to 2 parking levels; powered door access gets people into the condos, offices, food court and retail. People other than those in wheelchairs also need easier access with those heavy doors. It made no sense to only have...

SunnyRay; The squeaky wheel finally got some grease. I spoke to the building inspector in May explaining the same issue and lack of accessibility. He inspected the building, called me back and said those doors don't need an exterior button because the building has other...

Construction update; Concrete cutting exposes more of the parking garage roof to be replaced by a stronger deck and a large, thick, 2nd floor slab has been removed on the NE corner of the building (next to the new rebar). The supporting core of the residential building is rising...

Here are the latest leasing plans. yongesheppardcentre_toronto_171024.pdf

Construction update: The upper deck of the mall is being cut open. New deck is poured over the parking garage and last roof deck sections are poured. Concrete block walls are filling in the steel girders. Black, waterproof membrane and HVAC equipment are placed on the roof. The membrane...

Ed; Here's a link to the most recent site plan. yongesheppardcentre_toronto.pdf

Amnesiajune; Current rates at Forest Laneway are $1465. for 1 bedroom, $1800. for 2 bdrm., $2300. for 3 bdrm. I don't know what the market is like in North York for condo rentals (which have various perks) or similar high rise rental units. You say "Forest Laneway...

New town-homes fronting Sheppard; I took a look at a 1 bedroom and found it lacking in space with a small bedroom. Bathroom finishes are basic, nothing luxury there. The appliances are good quality but they used cheap plastic laminate sheeting on the floors. There's a large outdoor deck but you...

Forms are placed for the final stage of the elevator shaft and a view of the set concrete after forms removed. Rebar staging area and placement. Next big pour of the new deck.

42; Did you censure BucketofBolts, SunnyRayToronto, AmnesiaJune, and Ed Skira for mentioning Sheppard Center in this Emerald Park blog? SunnyRay said, "You do realize RioCan recently submitted a number of redesign changes for Yonge-Sheppard Centre right?" and I asked what those changes were...

Amnesiajune; You misunderstood my question to SunnyRay. He said, "You do realize RioCan recently submitted a number of redesign changes for Yonge-Sheppard Centre right?" I asked him what the changes were, now, August 2017, not vague 6 year old thoughts. You...
