This massive, 7ha, 17 acre site located at 3650 Birchmount Road is in play.
The company has announced they are relocating staff to downtown Toronto this fall, to be closer to university and research partners. The article does not specify their new building.
It does, however, indicate that they will be placing the existing site up for sale sometime after the move.
Not clear to me if the City would fight to keep this as employment land, as it does have housing across the street to both the east and south, and very minor employment use to the north, before the LSE corridor.
The site is large enough to support a range of employment/industrial uses; but could obviously be converted to housing.
