Ahh, this is public now!

To my understanding they do not yet have a new lease on Bloor, though they are looking.

Looks like Eleventy is moving into the former Kit & Ace space at 102 Bloor W

Without revealing any names, I will say, some high-end brands are snooping around Hazelton and on Scollard too.

There's more stuff coming to Bloor, but Bloor seems to demand a bit more scale and a bit more movement of goods vs a more boutique environ that might go further north.

Of the unleased retail on prime Bloor all 9k+ (Birks, former Burberry, former Brooks Bros, Holt Refnrew Mens). The only ~2k sized spots are in the Colonade and the former North Face spot.

It would be really nice to have Crate and Barrel presence in downtown core. New Burberry store at 100 Bloor west could have been a good location.

I believe there is a CB2 at King/Bathurst.

It will be interesting to see how Avenue Road develops as space and housing begin to open.

More cladding up at Loro Piana - looks good at golden heur:

And some signage up at the Park Hyatt for IWC and Roger Dubuis. No Panerai yet.

I wonder how many Torontonians think that Paris Baguette is from Paris (or at least France). It's a South Korean chain operating on a franchise model. When I was in Southeast Asia last year, I noticed they were present in almost every mid- to hi-end mall in the major cities. Not sure if they have any presence in Europe.

Actuallly they do have locations in London and Paris
