Anybody else believe that part of Holt Renfrew's decision to open a stand-alone men's store on Bloor may have been somewhat predicated on the belief that Strolley's (an upscale men's store) is likely on the way out?

They don't share the same clientele.

I think they are trying to find a way to stay relevant until the re-development is finished some years from now.

Stollery's is closing. Don't know the date but the signs are up.

I'm amazed they lasted this long.

Closing after 114 years!!!!! http://www.stollerys.com/

So would this be the most desirable un(der)developed lot in all of Canada? The last low-rise corner of an iconic, well-off intersection, right at two subway lines?

Directly across from arguably the most popular building under construction, I think the developer needs to up his game. I hope something tall and iconic will be built on the site. The twin towers of Yonge/Bloor, gateway out of/into downtown.

We all knew this was coming, I just didn't expect it so soon.

urbandreamer all along has said something big is planned for here, i tend to believe him

Here's what I heard--it may be wrong info: Great Gulf, 80-100 storeys, "iconic" architecture. Launches early 2015. I heard this from a biz owner in the area about 8 months ago.

Gee, it could finally be this............http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/showthread.php/17980-Synergy-Condos?highlight=synergy

That's a rather tantalizing yet enigmatic comment. Given your successful record of being "in the know" about various projects before the information becomes public, are you hinting that you know something more about this site?

I would love if this project were the long-anticipated "Synergy". I've been wondering about that project since the advertisements for it first appeared three years ago.

Hey, if it's equal to One Bloor East in terms of design and magnitude, I don't care what they call it!

Hahaha true, they can call it "The Purple Haze" as far as im concerned

 

[ChesterCopperpot]

Or how about simply "One Bloor West" ?

He didn't say it was planned for this location, in fact he pointed to it being at Hogg's Hollow and even doubted it was real. So, how can you believe him?
