Yes .... it's that easy
This statement that banks != tech companies is really not true anymore, sure it was true say 5+ years ago but is very much not the case anymore (for the most part) banks have heavily modernized and the space per employee is much less - many moving to completely open concept / no assigned seating.
But if this thread is to discuss possibilities of The Hub or CC3 being green-lighted anytime soon...
Google is taking 65 King East, AFAIK, and eventually plans to open in Google City down on the "eastern waterfront".IBM also has their head office in Markham, which is a candidate to move downtown if they want to keep attracting the best talent out of school. Google could also make a bold move.
Beyond the need for office space, becoming the anchor of the Hub is a rare branding opportunity in a city that's quickly becoming known as a global tech hub. A lot of big boys have settled into new/renovated digs recently.. hoping there's a couple more that have been waiting for this all along.

Oxford, now that they've got another two office towers in the works at Union Park, which they'd like to start construction on in 2023, will want to get shovels n he ground here ASAP, for all the reasons mentioned above, and there' a very good chance that this building will break ground without even a major tenant being announced (although that could still happen too).
