I heard a few people puttering around at ground level at Sherbourne and Esplanade this morning, but this site has been mostly completely empty since the strike started. Just a few security guards doing the rounds.

The trades of formwork, crane/hoist, drywall, and tile are on strike.

Has anyone heard of what retail tenants will be here? Are there plans for a larger tenant (ie. grocery)?

No idea of retail tenants and certainly no large ones like a grocery store as the retail spaces are all quite small. No doubt the developer has high hopes of 'destination retail" but I am expecting the usual nail salons, dry cleaners and pot shops. I hope I am wrong.

And a ground level daycare is in the plans, I think.

There's a no frills across the street, doubt there will be a grocery store...

 

[evandyk]

Probably not, although the No Frills will probably have to close soon.

Last I heard, No Frills on Front will not close during construction It may, temporarily, shrink somewhat ... There is also a pretty good Rabba on Front too.

Anything further on the LCBO moving there due to the building plans on its current Front St. site? Wouldn’t be hard to imagine Dollarama moving with it and if so.

I have heard that too, but I'm skeptical! The Rabba is good in a pinch, but despite having 100 varieties of chips, they lack basics like cilantro and dill. I still go there very regularly to grab eggs, milk, chips, etc.

Time and Space is the cilantro of condo buildings…
