Here's the latest report on "REimagining" Yonge St.( released Mar. 24) from approx. Sheppard to Finch. Here is the city's link to the full report. https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/95ae-REimagining-Yonge-MCEA-ESRTable-of-Contents-and-Executive-Summary-FinalFebruary-2022-AODA.pdf

Did Bazis use copper pipes or PVC (plastic) pipes for the water lines? How many floors down was their water infiltration?

The latest victim of Covid is Tacorrito. Just before they closed, I asked the sole server at 6 PM what his sales were like and he said "$100. for the whole day." Didn't even cover his wages. The Sheppard Centre is a ghost town.

Toronto city council voted on Dec. 17 to approve the "Reimagine Yonge" plan from Florence Avenue/Avondale Avenue to Hendon Avenue/Bishop Avenue. Its projected cost today is $61. mil. Assuming funding is procured, a complete environmental study report and 30-day public review period is expected...

Copper Branch, in the food court has left the building. They were open a couple of days ago and today it's a completely empty unit. Every piece of equipment is gone. Who's next?

BUSY BEES GETTING READY FOR WINTER: The hives are located on the L.A. Fitness roof and are looked after by The Teddy Bee Honey Company. There was a lot of activity during the recent warm weather but activity is starting to slow down.

Potatopia, in the food court has given up its lease on its 326 sq, ft. unit. The franchise had some success in American malls pre-Covid and this was their first Canadian operation. They had limited sales from day one on their over-priced baked potatoes. I feel bad for the "mom and pop" owners...

Even after the mall was completed, before Covid, there was little foot traffic. After Covid arrived, their sales dropped considerably and they closed the outlet. Their claim of $10,000. weekly sales is ludicrous. They were lucky to do $500. on a good day. Leases from Riocan were for 10 years. I...

Sunnyray; Did the Pivot links work for you?

The Pivot links above didn't open for me. Might be my computer. I'll list them again. Meridian Show Suite - white colour 17th floor: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rMMyEqGNchsO3h-okjE7sIpdZl9p2lkS/view?usp=sharing Meridian empty suite - brown colour 28th floor...

THE PIVOT: Update Here are various views of apartments I recently inspected. Top quality finishes and appliances. A couple units were staged to show the "lived in" look From the higher floors, you can see for miles through floor to ceiling windows. Something that's not mentioned anywhere is...

TORONTO — Today, Stan Cho, MPP for Willowdale, announced the Ontario government has given Stage 1 Planning Approval to improve the Highway 401 and Yonge Street interchange and will fund up to 50 per cent of the cost for the City of Toronto to conduct an Environmental Assessment. The...

"Pivot" rental info released today: Choice of in person or virtual tours. https://www.livingatpivot.com/

THE PIVOT; FINAL CLEAN-UP A labor intensive job over the last 2 weeks to clean all interior glass, balcony exterior glass and mop all floors. The large black and white metal panels and adjoining glass were cleaned using a swing stage. The roof-top beehives were prepped for fall-winter by the...

Attn; SunnyRay; You recently said, " It seems their new store at Yonge-Sheppard Centre will be named “Town Shoes.” That guess is incorrect. If you had asked the company owners, they would have told you the name will be "The Shoe Company."

Re Cactus Club restaurant; I called their head office in Vancouver and asked if they were going to open the mall site or had they backed out? In a sense, they gave me the finger and said, "we're a private company and we don't have to give you that information." I called another source and...

Little things like having to pay for parking turn a lot of people off. I don't count Shoppers and Winners as attractive anchor stores and they serve a very local clientele, mostly Forest Laneway residents. No sporting goods, no electronics like a Best Buy, no men's wear for suits or quality...

Customer counts are low but steady. On average, Longo's has 2 main checkouts open, sometimes 3, 1 express counter and 4 self checkouts. Foot traffic is low throughout the mall and Longo's mostly serves the Forest Laneway residents. Sales should increase in the fall when the Pivot building opens...

That's $11,000. per month for the Flock lease plus food cost, labor, insurance and utilities. Got to sell a lot of chicken to cover that, but Flock never had the foot traffic or sales from day one. Has anyone read the glowing reports for the other MLS listings? Ridiculous, such as Tacorrito's...

SunnyRay; Long before Covid showed up, Jimmy the Greek and Freshii were also for sale. Some of those MLS prices are crazy. I know you're paying for the name plus equipment and any goodwill that's left but $239K for Sweet Jesus; a soft ice-cream machine and a few bowls of sprinkles. No...
