I think I've figured it out!! They're timing the opening of the Eglinton Crosstown to mark the 40 year anniversary from Network 2011, which was published in 1985. Network 2011 was the first call for higher order transit on Eglinton. So if you think about it - it's not 5 years late on a 10 year...

I believe the Holt Renfrew Mens @ 100 Bloor has been leased. It's no longer listed as available. Not surprised, that's probably the best retail corner in Yorkville ATM with exposure on Bloor and Belair heading to the node on Yorkville Ave. Can anyone confirm?

Brown Thomas is owned by Selfridges (or some private equity shop that it bought it from the Weston's); speaking of I assume the major entrant is Primark, meaning that much more of our dollars will be going to a single family.

Given we were told we would have a 3 mo lead time from announcement to opening date, we're running out of time for this to open in 2024 (I'd be surprised if they launched it in December given holiday season, but who am I to say), which means if this isn't announced by August, see you spring 2025...

It doesn't seem like their celebrity shows are moving (E-Talk, the Social), which makes sense; there's no way they could get talent out to Scarborough for interviews - no shade to Scarborough, it's just a giant logistical challenge. If they maintain some studio presence downtown, they can easily...

Does anyone have a sense of how the ground floor is going to be configured?

I wonder if there will be a restaurant (similar to NYC). And I agree... Toronto is starting to see not just luxury open on Bloor, but truly global sized flagships.

A few thoughts: 1. For major malls, a portion of their traffic (and outsized % of their buyers) are tourists - especially yorkdale and TEC. Tourists generally don't need groceries. 2. There is a huge push across all retail to add food as a service and entertainment. Ironically Nordstrom was...

Counterpoint... we are seeing a huge shift in demand for retail (if anyone on this board should know that, it's you ;). I don't know if mandating retail especially on a secondary street is beneficial, especially if the retail is just going to wind up empty, or a weed shop. It looks like this is...

I thought that was 2 Bloor east for a hot minute. 😂

does anyone know how the Holt Renfrew is doing ? It seems like Oxfords desire to pivot Square One into a luxury node, or at least build out a luxury wing, hasn’t really panned out. Be interested to know what will happen on the ten year anniversary of some of those leases. (That wing opened in...

That map isn't from the 90s; so tough to say exactly. But if memory services me right, I believe the NYPL was under the Dominion (at least for part of it's life). There was an expansion of the mall, maybe in the 80s (?), that added a food court above the Dominion along with the subway corridor.I...

I mean their building is slated for demolition / redevelopment. Also Bloor from Belair to Avenue is almost 100% leased with new Saint Laurent and Loro Piana flagships under construction.

Edward Rogers gives Kendall Roy energy.

Nike will be opening in the podium as well (a return to Bloor for them since they closed a Nike Town at 110 Bloor). I'm not sure if there will be another retailer there beyond Mango.

I believe Mango is opening in the street level space at 1 Bloor East.

It's kinda giving Green Queen / the Curse passive house vibes 🤣

Back in the day Harry's was supposed to go into 2 Queen West (this is pre-COVID). I don't know what happened to that concept and if it's still in play. Harry's is around 16k square feet, which is about the same size as the new Indigo store at the Well, so would not be shocked if Harry's finally...

Or an arena ;) (I swear there used to be a rendering of the OG Raptors arena proposal at Bay/Dundas, but I can't find it)
