Come to think of it, the footprint of the Bloor and Yonge Hudson's Bay Store would be a nice location for a supertall.

I'm not totally sure what you mean, but I think the answer is yes.
(And I'm really not an emoticon kinda guy, but you left me no choice.)

Probably not going to happen in our lifetime with a 400+ footer already built above The Bay

He means to the east of the tower, directly above where The Bay is

This link provides an excellent view of the future 1 Bloor development site (look in the background).

Bank is white knight for heritage group

A Toronto historic group's potentially fatal homelessness is history.
Jane Beecroft, president of the Community History Project, was handed the lease yesterday to the second floor of the Scotiabank branch at Queen and Church Sts., giving the group a base "for as long as it needs it," said Wayne Burgess, the bank's senior asset manager.
The deal was done with "head-spinning speed," said Beecroft, 75. "Wayne and I first spoke last week. We were talking about it being an 11th-hour thing. He said, `No, it's 12th.' Well, no, actually it's 13th!"
The project, which has a priceless archive of documents, photos – including 600 glass negatives taken by Toronto-born Arctic explorer Joseph Burr Tyrrell – and artifacts, lost its old home at Yonge and Bloor Sts. last month.
It had occupied three cramped rooms there since 1996. The building is coming down to make way for a condo development. The group's 65 members moved the collection, much of it fragile, into temporary storage.
"We need space, we need it fast and we need it free," Beecroft told the Star as she waited for the bulldozers to arrive.
Her dream, she said, was 235 square metres "with electricity and a washroom."
Scotiabank has donated 300 square metres, a large, airy well-lit room.
Beecroft said it's not only rent-free, the bank will cover utilities and cleaning. "This is ... incomparable leadership in supporting heritage in a city that doesn't support its heritage."
The bank, dating to 1913, was the brainchild of John Lyle, who also designed Union Station.
"We're a heritage group in a heritage building," said Beecroft. "We hope to have public hours by May."
It's the third time in recent months that a financial institution has turned into a white knight.
Last October, MasterCard donated $160,000 to keep Toronto's outdoor ice rinks open in December. The Capital One credit card company paid for the TTC to give New Year's revellers free rides.
The Community History Project, which gets $1,215 a year from the provincial culture ministry, is still strapped for cash. Beecroft has paid much of the moving costs herself.

A report to the City of Toronto Government Management Committee recommends the city sell the public lane adjoining 709 and 711 Yonge Street to One Bloor Street East Limited for $1,170,000.

Scotiabank seems to be the cultural underwriter these days. Apart from the city not willing (or more likely, able) to fund these sorts of things, the only thing that bugs me about it was the branding overload during Nuit Blanche.
