There is an INS store opening in the vacant space in the condo across from Maple Leaf Gardens - less than a five-minute walk away from this location! I have never heard of INS before and now they are seemingly popping up like mushrooms everywhere! No complaints from me, however. Competition in the food space is good and its better than another bank!

On the bright side, they have a half-life of about 5 years.

Daily dose of nostalgia for @Towered

There was also a Brazilian joint at the back (on Maitland) during the last few years of the building’s existence. Anyone knows if any of the current retail space is suitable for a cafe/ restaurant?

Yep! There's a Mediterranean restaurant going into the space on Alexander. Not sure about the Maitland side, but given they used different pavers to create the look of a patio (as they also did on Alexander), I'd expect something to be possible there as well.
 
The retail is starting to fill in here.

There's also (allegedly?) a Goodlife Fitness coming to the basement levels as well.

Although not officially announced yet, this was noted by the developers:

But.. there is no basement level space in this building...
And I just hope they leasesd south corner retail space for non food related store or nice cafe rather than Shawarma place.. i love to eat them but i rather not smell Shawarma every time entering the building.
Hopefully they can do some good insulation between store and lobby
