Too bad. Are you aware of any other new developments or happenings? What is happening with the old Starbucks? Or the vacant stores.....so many.

It is my understanding that the old HSBC could see National Bank soon but it’s just a rumour.

Everything else is just sitting empty waiting for a business to open up. I actually think the Shoppers site will be further assembled to include more properties up to and perhaps including the older medical centre site. Again though, it’s just what I hear.

Things will look different in 5 years and be a different strip in 10 years.

It is my understanding that Scotia Bank will be closing its location at St Clair West & Westmount to relocate to the old HSBC space as it's smaller. However, this information came from the Corso BIA a couple of months ago. There are rumours though about National Bank moving in as well.

The SDM site will likely be further assembled as it is now widely suggested that Phil wants to sell off his Medical building next door. I believe it is likely true also because repairs have become non-existent of late.

so this is the exact plan that was proposed a few years ago, with the sane commercial tenant in place, I thought the project fell through and shoppers/Loblaw back out and sold to another developer that was planning to build mixed use but at 6-7 floors,similar to scoop development, why such a delay for the same game plan doesn't make sense
