Looks like Puma is gone. And La Societe is opening (at the Colonnade) in a few weeks!

Really? It's already shut down? I was in there a couple of weeks ago and everyone in the store seemed to think it was sticking around.

^^It's that final push that I predicted years ago. The midmarket retailers are getting squeezed out as couture labels take over their leases.
By the by, it is LV going into 150 Bloor. At least half of it, so I'm expecting one hell of a shop (given their facade treatments at other flagships). I wonder what will happen to the Victorian carcass they currently lease?

Look for the map and zoom into 150 Bloor.

I guess that was expected. The Victorian stand-alone would make a great Donna Karan shop - if memory serves me correctly, she was looking for a large space on Bloor. It won't remain vacant for long, that's for sure.

The vacancy in the Prince Arthur condo's has also been leased.

Any idea what's going there? Also, any news in the old Marciano spot?

the new MAC has opened, and work seems to already be under way in its former space...I asked the crew if they knew what was going in but they had no idea. Links of London would be rad though. Also, hoarding has gone up finally on the new Intermix and Michael Kors locations. Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the retail space on St. Thomas beside M0851 has been leased, as well as the space on Avenue where Walter Steiger used to be.

La Societe is opening on June 15 at the former Dynasty location.

^ This patio at the Colonnade just popped up and I'm guessing it's connected to the grand opening. I don't know if it's temporary or permanent but it's a great spot for a patio. I hope it says.

They sure could've done a better job with that patio! Better tables and chairs, better, nicer railings! Don't like it so far! We'll see.

Awesome loss of "public" space (there goes the foundation) replaced with plastic seating... jesus at least they could have sprung for DWR's Marais chairs...

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this Bloor Street activity and presentation prep - La Societe patio (to capitalize on visitors), installing hoarding for new Intermix / Michael Kors stores (to showcase and promote brand) - has to do with coinciding with the June 19th Bloor Street party celebrating the new make-over....
