The former Coffee Time/Caribbean Taste at the corner of Princess and The Esplanade has been leased and gutted. Anyone know what’s going in there?

June numbers are out: http://www.trebhome.com/market_news/market_watch/2018/mw1806.pdf

BMO already currently occupies the floor of 250 Yonge that the skybridge connects to, so its definitely possible.

They’re constructing a massive scaffolding on the west side of the former Sears/Eatons. I guess this is the beginning of the construction for the BMO campus.

Also live in the area, and as out of scale as this spandrel monstrosity is, I am looking forward to this parking lot being developed, and interested to see how the residents, and the additional retail changes the area for better or worse.

I agree, it looks pretty great. I think if the render was more true to the final outcome, it would be receiving universal praise as a podium that’s properly massed for its area and has some unique detail.

Demolition of the former Sobeys has begun

Here’s my attempt at doing it justice through a photo. Definitely looks better in person, but not vibrant as advertised.

Stumbled across this listing for the Rehearsal Factory building on Front Street East. https://www.realtor.ca/Residential/Vacant-Land/19133980/178-FRONT-ST-E-Toronto-Ontario-M5A1E6-Moss-Park

I can’t be the only one who is getting annoyed with the ever increasing number of blown out sections of the light feature can I??

They’ve stripped the interior of the sales office in the former Acura dealership that served as the sales office for Social after Time and Space was sold out. Demolition soon?

From SLNA's Facebook page.

Now we are, after a year of stagnation. I know it's complex engineering etc, but I have a friend who bought here, and his occupancy date has already been pushed multiple times, so it was almost surely longer than they planned as well.

Now that I look at it, that post does look shiny and new.

For some reason they’ve borded up some of the windows on the north side and drywalled the inside, so it appears to be permanent.

At this point I’ll take anything over a Starbucks in the neighbourhood. Even if it’s another coffee shop.

BMO already occupies multiple freshly renovated floors of 250 Yonge, I guess they're trying to centralize and consolidate their office space downtown rather than sprawled out over the GTA.

I think it would have looked a lot better if they painted the underside of the balconies a darker colour. The white makes the rectangular shape of the building stand out.
