Is this the actual plan for the area?

I think that's more of an artist's conception of what the area could eventually look like. I could be wrong but the only building currently being built there are the subway station and the KPMG office building.

Considering there are 5 Walmarts with 10km of that location it may not need to be replaced or, depending on how urban Vaughan plans to make VMCC, they'll put it in the podium of one of the new towers.

There are so many location in the Woodbridge neighbourhood of Vaughan to put up towers but VMCC and the empty lots will be built first before the infamous Woodbridge NIMBYs allow towers to tear down their shopping (you should have heard the Ward 2 debates!)

My 2 cents, the gas stations on either corner of this intersection (7/Weston) as well as the Hyundai dealership make much better candidates for knocking down and adding towers.

I think the Home Depot is closing and relocating to Weston + Major Mac. That would be a prime spot for a condo.

Yes, that's the concept drawing for what VMC could look like, with the exception that it has been updated to show the approved plans for the KPMG building and the preliminary design for the regional bus terminal. That tan building to the right of the KPMG building represents an idea to build a residential tower on the KPMG land at a later date. All other buildings are just figments of someone's imagination.

With the Future Shop there having closed permanently, the other store in that building (Home Sense?) may leave and so Smart Centres suddenly has a prime spot available for more development.

Even if that Home Depot closes I wouldn't call it prime location. Home Depot is sandwiched next to a fairly active strip plaza across the street from commercial and industrial.

With the Future Shop there having closed permanently, the other store in that building (Home Sense?) may leave and so Smart Centres suddenly has a prime spot available for more development.

There's a Home Sense, Monster Mortgage, and (IIRC) an appliance repair store in there as well, but it's not prime development, per say. If you look at the plans from Vaughan, Buttermill Ave is supposed to be extended right to 7, perfectly bisecting the current building. Though there's other Smart Center land and that Walmart that are prime.

From May 21. Now there's four cranes for this project:

EDIT: The fourth crane was cut off the pic. It appeared in preview

I see all four…

You can see the vertical part of the fourth one on the right? I can't

 

[interchange42]

Not sure why you can't. I can only suggest stupid things like "widen your browser window"… but I assume it's some other odd bug. What browser are you using, etc. etc?

It was my window setting. I see it now. I didn't know zooming affected the viewable area of pics.

Since last update there's now a floor or two on the south-most tower, the first walls rising on the north, four cranes, as previously mentioned, and a lot more graffiti on the hoarding (time to email Rosanna)

The entire site is now above ground and peeking over the hoarding.

The hoarding says "luxury condos", but the ugly walls of spandrels suggest otherwise.
