Thanks for the photos, @Miscreant. Was at MEC this past weekend and wondered how the Queen Street site is coming along. Now I know.
It's at ground level and possible to have a 3 storey warehouse type building up by the end of summer, give it another 3 months to get it ready and move inVarious sources report that MEC intends to have the store opened by the end of the year. How are they going to do consturtion that quickly ??
A blurry one, so I can't tell for sure if it's outta the ground yet or not…

Which is, of course, the very reason that this lot was affordable for MEC!There's a Heritage Conservation District in effect on this stretch of Queen which prohibits new buildings higher than three floors before a major stepback, and severely curtails building much higher than that.
