A few more pics of the "Queen's Cross" hoarding: At first glance, concept-wise, it does seem similar to the old Richtree, just with new names for the restaurants inside. Did they really need to demolish the interiors? Just crazy glue some new signs and slap on some paint! This does confirm...

Thanks @Northern Light ! Here's my long-winded response: Regarding the south end food court on Level 1: it was a Richtree Market, which was (long story short) the expanded successor of Movenpick/Marche. Richtree at Eaton Centre abruptly closed on March 9, 2020, right on the cusp of the pandemic...

Retail Insider has a new article up on the renovations at Saks: https://retail-insider.com/retail-insider/2022/10/saks-fifth-avenue-partially-renovates-downtown-toronto-flagship-store-photos/

Constance Taverne will be opening in the former Duke of Richmond location on 20 Queen St. West (facing James Street).

A couple of evening photos from tonight, September 20:

Bath and Body Works has closed their Level 2 location in advance of their re-opening downstairs on Level 1, in the former Microsoft Store. That new location will be opening later in the Fall. Mango will be opening a new store in the former BBW space. Just Cozy moved into the former La Vie En...

The Star has an article about the 8 Elm design collaboration with Simu Liu: https://www.thestar.com/life/homes/2022/08/18/simu-liu-lends-his-star-power-to-8-elm-condo-development-in-downtown-toronto.html

The Bay should just re-open the Bloor and Yonge location as Zellers. They won't have to change a thing!

Arc'teryx and Psycho Bunny are now both open on Level 3. Edit: The ongoing construction in the old Richtree space on Level 1 is definitely O&B related. As to what is exactly planned is still unknown.

A quick pic from Friday, July 29:

The BTS pop-up will be at the former Reiss location up on Level 3. Warby Parker and Athleta will be opening in the mall - I believe Warby Parker is going to be in the old True Religion jeans space. Athleta may be taking over where Massimo Dutti is currently located. A restaurant named...

Both those sections are on Level 2, so I'm wondering how they will be changing it up. The women's shoe section feels very small and cramped, especially when you have The Bay's women's shoe section right down the hall. What I really think they need to do is revamp the entire corner section at...

The hoarding has been removed from The Face Shop and it's open again. The store looks exactly the same. I think they just changed their sign again. Herschel will be opening in the former Cov1d testing clinic/Oakley store space right beside the Queen Street entrance on Level 2. Plus will be...

Regarding ground level occupants - the new Ikea that opened downtown at the Aura had signs promoting PenguinPickUp locations to get your furniture delivered. One location on the poster was marked as being at Lower Sherbourne and Front Street. There is no such location listed on their website...

There is hoarding covering The Face Shop, aka Nature Collection, aka Fruits & Passion on Level 2. Not sure just yet if they've closed, are renovating or relocating elsewhere. La Vie En Rose is now open in the former Innisfree space. A Herschel brand store may be opening later this year.

Bath & Body Works will be moving from their current Level 2 location, downstairs to the former Microsoft Store space on Level 1. The new store is scheduled to open in August.

The outside is really disappointing and drab so far. Barely anything has changed from how it looked when those Sircorp restaurants and Bed Bath & Beyond were there. Hopefully inside will be somewhat better, though it is Ikea we're talking about. Are the city and condo corp rules so strict...

A quick pic from late afternoon today (May 5):

Saks Fifth Avenue is being rebranded to Hudson's Bay, and Hudson's Bay is being rebranded to Zellers? 😛

Psycho Bunny will be opening a new location later this summer in the space beside Williams-Sonoma on Level 3.
