According to this report, the current ownership group behind the El Mocambo are working to open a new venue here:

One of the city’s most iconic live music venues, the El Mocambo, is coming to Yorkville.

Details are scant on the new space at 101 Yorkville Ave., but temporary signage is up in the windows announcing the new venture along with the slogan “Keep Live Alive.”

The sign advertises “tickets, tours, and tuck shop,” which seems to indicate that a merchandise retail outlet will be opening not another live music venue. But we can dream.

The location, not the El Mocambo as far as we know, is also involved in a new development proposal that is working its way through Toronto’s development pipeline.

Appears like the El Mocambo will just occupy one of the units among the current building. Redevelopment in the short to medium term looking unlikely.

I haven't walked by here in a while but according to Google street view from Sept 2023, they have already begun recladding (at least) the western portion of the existing 101Yorkville building.
