i think apple will come back. They cancelled the deal yes, but that doesn't mean they aren't/won't be renegotiating it with more favourable terms.

Looks like they will be getting a floor done every 5 to 6 working days.

We’re talking about a company that had $394 *billion* in revenues last year. This one hypothetical store is completely irrelevant and meaningless to anything that this company does.

But you can say that about any other store Apple opened. It is a small piece that is part of a much bigger picture.
What I think some of the posters are saying is that Apple was particular about its requirements and this site would still fit those requirements (compared to other potential sites). No one was arguing that the abandonment of this location would lead to material effect on Apple’s global operations but it was a misstep in its local/regional plans.

It's funny how the elephant in the room is being completely ignored still. Like nothing happened.
This building lost its glory. It's just another ugly tall building that will have a lot of empty suites. It will be cheaply made moving forward to keep losses down. Nobody takes a building seriously when the foundations it's built upon is fraud.
But, it's okay bro! Yonge and Bloor! Toronto! We the NORTH!!!!
But what do I know right? My posts in this thread from 2021 saying Apple will back out didn't turn out true at all, right?
With that said, I gotta give credit where it's due... this building is truly symbolic of Canadian real estate. Fraud, money laundering, drug trafficking money, being thrown around into our Countries developments. Politicians making behind the door deals with crooked developers. But hey, it's Canada. What else can you expect.

I'm pretty sure most forum readers aren't particularly interested in the ethics or virtues of the Canadian real estate business. Nor do they worry about vacant suites or cashflow models on development proformas.
They come to view the progress of cool and unique buildings as well as learn insightful knowledge from industry experts. I am making this assumption based on the fact that the majority of reaction scores stem from photos and not people's general opinions.

This will be a fantastic addition to the city regardless of who takes space in the lobby. Apple backing out does not change a thing about this towers stunning design and high quality materials. Just wait and see in 2025 when this is beauty will be gleaming on the skyline.

Funny how a not even half-finished building can elicit such strong reactions - everything from giddy excitement to sour declarations of it being a potent symbol for everything allegedly horrible and dystopian about Canada. The drama of it all!

The irony of someone crying out “fraud” and “money laundering” when they seem to be associated with crypto!

Alternatively, Nintendo could open up a dedicated Nintendo store where a certain fruit store would have opened. This Nintendo store would be similar to Nintendo New York:

Nintendo New York is popular, not just with New Yorkers, but with tourists as well. I myself visited Nintendo New York in 2016 and liked what it offered and I felt it would be great to replicate this success in Toronto.

Eh...sure, but the retail section is still important, especially given how large this building is. When you're walking past it the first thing you'll notice is those large glass windows and whatever is behind them. Its ground presence would literally be enormous.
