Actually, that's not necessarily the case as the date for IZ is the later of Sept OR the Minister approving an MTSA. As of now, Toronto hasn't shown delineations for Steeles or Cummer so seems unlikely to happen by then (though developers might not be hedging their bets).

I've mentioned this on the YNSE thread too but the forthcoming Secondary Plan for this area and inevitable up zoning, along with finally some certainty about the subway, timing, are likely bigger factors.

Retail level even looks decent; I'm not completely sold on the canopy in its current form; but I'm not opposed either.

No, there's simply an everyday Mazda dealership on the site now. The yellow façade and reveal around it are there to provide articulation what would be an overwhelming wall of sameness otherwise, as is the red brick section at the south end of the building.
