Bloor-Yorkville Scene

[UrbanLurker]

there's 2 small renderings of the Nordstrom Rack included in the article.

Not sure if this has been posted before: if you liked this render, it was likely done based on the excellent work produced by Matthew Hallett. You can find more of his work here:

Definitely worth checking out in my opinion. There are a few more renders of 1BE and more recently renders of the Globe and Mail Centre.

The second floor Prada expansion at the Colonnade appears to be complete.

Prada today.

Could be wrong, but I think this is where Hermes is going.

I'm not sure how long this signage has been up, but…

42

Blo Blow Dry Bar has moved to 154 Cumberland according to a Tweet.

 

[Benito]

Soon to open.

Are Mi'hito and The Alternative Cafe STILL opening at Yorkville Village? Mi'hito seems to be covered up and last I checked, The Alternative Cafe is still not open.

apm Monaco looks to be open. Moncler looks soon to follow- I walked by this evening and the racks were filled with puffers, construction guys doing some finishing touches on the exterior behind the hoarding.

A few notes:

Moncler is now open (grand opening Oct 25)

Some sort of luxury winter parka pop-up seems to be getting ready to open in the old North Face space (I saw Moose Knuckles and Parajumpers through the windows)

“Saint Laurent Opening Soon” has been plastered on the windows of the old Holt’s men’s section on Bloor. I’m assuming a shop-in-shop?

I think Gucci is moving to 80-84 Yorkville and the sunglasses hut is closing and they're annexing the store next door to create a new flagship.

Hoarding is finally down in front of Chanel and it looks pretty good, and is extremely nicely lit (though they could use some more on the building itself).

 

[Benito]

Today.

Interesting chart Richard Florida just tweeted:

Scotiabank is closing their location at Bloor/Church and moving those accounts to the Bloor/Balmuto location.
