does anyone have any idea what the renovations on the corner of 150 Bloor West (beside the HSBC Bank on Avenue Road) are for? They are installing glass panels and I noticed a Louis Vuitton hoarding panel inside. Could this be the temporary store while the new location is under construction, therefore vacating the current LV spot on Bloor for another retailer?

no idea at all
but back in the days, there were rumours about apple and LV taking over the entire space. don't think it is from any accurate / reliable sources

LV's old spot would make for a cool 'House of Dior. Maybe this is finally the 'major European brand' that we heard about back in February.

I don't have a source...I'm guessing that the old LV spot would make a good House of Dior. I don't have a clue if that will happen. The 'major European brand' reference is coming from a tweet back in February from Lisa Tant. There hasn't been any news on it since.

It's been months since the tweet an Bo news yet. Must be the recession!

I don't think it's recession related. There's no real recession here anyway. These things always seem to take forever, and I do frankly think that whoever it will be will taking over LV's old spot or moving into the spot beside the new LV.

Seriously??? That is hopefully not the spot right beside LV!

^ I'm thinking it might be on the west side of the building just north of LV. The patio would be facing the Church. Not a bad spot if that's the case.

There are 3 spots at 150 Bloor.
There is about 850 square feet next to the HSBC on the north west end of the property, there is 3000 square feet + 5000 square feet of mezzanine space directly next to LV, and there is 1372 square feet directly north of LV before the passageway.
I'd assume that Starbucks is going into one of the smaller spots.

That being said I do wish it was a Laduree or something different from a Starbucks (there's the one on cumberland, the one on bloor underneath Winners, the one under holts, the one on Bay street at Yorkville, and the one in 1 Bedford fairly close PLUS the Britnels Starbucks and the one under the Bay... and new one opening at Bay and Charles) am I missing anything? Oh and one in Indigo.....

You can't walk around with an LV handbag without having a Venti Starbucks Skinny Caramel Macchiato in hand.
