There's probably a better thread for this, but anyone have the numbers on what the net balance has been in terms of office space being built or lost in the broader Bloor-Yorkville area?

From the top of my head, in terms of new or repurposed office space that's been built, or is currently planned, we have:

1-9 Sultan St - 150,000 sq ft
Casa 3 - 100,000 sq ft
Elementary Teachers Federation building on Huntley - 90,000 sq ft
50 Bloor West - 85,000 sq ft (per the planing docs from 2012, anyways: here)
135 Yorkville - 50,000 sq ft
17 Prince Arthur - 20,000 sq ft
114-120 Scollard St - Guesstimating around 10-15,000 sq ft
77 Bloor St West (converting 2 mechanical floors into office space) - Guesstimating around 3-5,000 sq ft
888 Yonge (not entirely sure if it's fair to count it though, as it was a conversion from MTV studio space to an IT company office) - 40,000 sq ft

For a total somewhere around the 500k sq ft mark.

While we're losing:

88 Cumberland St
10 St Mary (the building may be retained, but it's looking to be going residential)
80 Bloor St West

I don't have the square footage of the buildings that we're set to lose as office space, but it seems the trend in the area has been to move away from larger office buildings, for office space that's either more boutique, specific to the needs of the tenants, or outright owned by them.

If someone can share what the net +/- is though, I'd definitely be curious.

Many thanks for compiling that list. Yorkville and Yonge/Bloor feels like it has a healthy mix of commercial, residential, and retail. Maintaining the office space relative to all the added residential will be important going forward. As the nexus of the two subway lines, I'm surprised we haven't seen an office building here in this boom. Just one more building to ensure that vitality it currently has, please.

Seems you have most of it covered ! Oh and consider manulife who leased out a bunch of space, after rebuilding some of their office to be much more dense ... which this doesn't add or take away any office space it increases density, which has the same effect => more employees in the area.
