I love that pic with the subway spur. The first hole that has something in it that will not be dug out.

Are they going to build over the subway spur or leave as a plaza? Who owns the land over the spur?

As can be seen in the rendering above, the plaza is at the same corner as the subway spur.

Good question about the ownership of that chunk of land. I would guess that it is owned by Tridel/Hullmark still, but that the TTC has an easement under it. Likely someone else on the forum can be more specific about how this works.

In the Hullmark Centre thread, Sunnyraytoronto posted the following about the emergency entrance that is located on that parcel:

That TTC building at the south-east corner is not a TTC subway entrance,... it's an emergency exit. Its less than 10 years old and added when they opened the Sheppard Stubway line. There's never been an emergency so it's never been used! And now it'll be demolished,.... eventually since Hullmark Centre will have an open area there.

When you're at Yonge-Sheppard subway station on the platform for Sheppard Stubway,... look to the south-east and you'll see a long line of doors,.... that's the emergency exit. That area will eventually lead tothe (north) subway entrance for the Hullmark Centre.

It'll be interesting to see when they actually demolish that TTC building since it's an emergency exit and is still technically required for safety. It'll probably get demolished after they finish building the north part of Hullmark Centre,... or at least the new (north) subway entrance for Hullmark Centre.

I don't know if this helps or just adds to the speculation; see the Hullmark Centre thread for more details.

[BTW--Sunnyray refers to the south-east corner of the intersection of Yonge and Sheppard in this post, not the south-east corner of the construction site itself.]

Project management indicated a portion of the land is being conveyed to the TTC in what is a very complicated legal arrangement with ownership based on grade and subgrade property.
