I live near Hullmark center and I pass by the Anndale subway entrance every day. In the past week I've noticed a lot more activity with workers actually doing stuff in that stairwell area, compared to the previous 4 months or so where seemingly nothing was happening. I suspect the entrance may...

I would agree, if only there were a reason for people to actually stop at Yonge/Sheppard. The area needs more focus on commercial retail and less on residential condos.

lol, well said. I live at the Cosmo just north of this development. It's sad to see that small residential strip being allowed to be turned into a condo. It's a terrible spot to put a condo with all the congestion already there, which will only be 10x worse once Hullmark is completed. The...

The south street looks to be open now, but I think it is only for vehicle access to the Proctor & Gamble underground parking. It says no pedestrian access.

And in the news today, Metro announced it is closing down 15 stores. http://www.thestar.com/business/2013/08/14/metro_to_close_some_ontario_stores_convert_others_to_food_basics.html

I agree with everything sunnyray says about T&T. They are better suited to serve the demographics of the area, much better than Metro. If Emerald Park is the right choice and location for Metro, then why was Emerald Park's first pick to go with T&T? T&T only backed out because construction...

I call BS on that. The previous Metro on the southeast corner of Yonge/Sheppard was often empty when it was open. Given the asian population around Yonge/Sheppard, T&T would have been wildly successful here. Have you ever been to a T&T on a Friday or Saturday night? All of them are...

The workers were done for the day and for the most part I was able to walk right up to it. It's certainly not something you get a chance to see everyday.

I managed to record some live crane porn today! This crane is behind the Hullmark at Bales Ave / Anndale Drive and will be used to remove the one on the south tower (sometime between now and end of Sunday). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wViSAxCsKx4

LCBO... meh. There is already a well-stocked LCBO at Bayview Village, and the smaller sized LCBO at Empress Walk. I still think the loss of T&T is a devastating loss to the commercial success of this development. The draw of T&T is almost immeasurable. Every T&T I've been to has always...

I think everyone would agree the Empress Walk location is more desirable from a customer and a business perspective. The Empress Walk theatre is also accessed by North America's longest unsupported escalator, which is a bit of a fun ride on its own. IMO, Rainbow Cinemas would seem to be an...

The Empire Theaters at Empress Walk is closing down! Apparently the last day for them will be Thursday March 21, 2013.

I live right behind Hullmark Center and I would've loved to see the LED advertising go up. This intersection needs to be more lively. At nighttime the brightly lit northwest corner with the new 7-11 and McDonald's looks really out of place, ccompared to the dead Sheppard center on the NE...

Yonge/Sheppard area is already at an imbalance with too many residents and no interesting retail. I believe someone had stated that of the developments at NYCC in the past 15 years, there were ~50 condos projects completed or are in progress, with only one office development in that same time...

It is disappointing that T&T is no longer the anchor tenant and is being replaced with Metro. The Whole Foods at Hullmark Center across the street already caters to the upscale market... a Metro is redundant. Without T&T, I can see this causing a huge ripple effect with the other tenants...

There is a new Hero Burger opening up approximately 200m south of this location, at Yonge/Johnston Ave. Too bad they can't kick out Kinkos and get Hero Burger to take its place at 4812 instead. I think everyone would agree Hero Burger would be a much nicer fit to round out this corner, and...

If it's called Emerald Park, it better be green.

The 7-11 is now open as of Jun-30. I went inside to check it out but there is not much to report... it's just a 7-11. A lot of space allocated to their coffee makers and I'm wondering how that will fare against the McCafe right beside them. No access to upstairs from the 7-11 but I guess...

I went to the McDonalds around 8am this morning to check it out. It was already extremely busy! I guess a lot of people wanted to check it out, considering Yonge/Sheppard is considered an important intersection. There were around 5 cashiers open and each lineup was up to the far window. They...
