Apple Store

[greenleaf]

did the condo take up the area fronting Yonge Street too?

i saw this on google maps so i was under the impression the condo was only the back half fronting Balmutto.
i know the pic is old so the space may be demo'd or already leased.

The entry on Yonge (the former sales centre for Uptown condo) will be a Rogers store.

I suspect Apple could handle three stores in downtown T.O. Flagship-esque stores in Bloor-Yorkville and another downtown (possibly Union) and perhaps eventually carving a slightly bigger space into the Eaton Centre too.

Apple going to open store in Massonville Mall, London....along with Forever 21.

only way i can see them getting 20,000 SF is if they go and do a 2 or 3 level store.

is the old uptown theatre still there or was it torn down for the condo?

Was thinking of this thread as I read the story about the Sutton Place condo conversion by Lanterra......there is 20k s.f. of new retail space being created right there!

Sutton Place? Retail Siberia.

Well, since this front page story went up on UrbanToronto, it has gone viral: it will likely be our most-read story ever at the rate it is being read currently. This thread in P&C is getting a lot of traffic as well.

All Downtown will need after this Bloor-Yonge location and the existing Eaton Centre location, is a Union Station location, and in fact Apple would be insane not to locate in the new mall going in under Union. All those people waiting for their GO, VIA, and the occasional Amtrak train? It would be great for the Union Station mall too. I wonder if it could open there even before the Bloor-Yonge location…

Stollery's continues to deny the Apple store rumour:

Everytime I read this thread, this damn song gets in my head:

Ball Of Confusion that's what the world is today (yeah, yeah)
The sale of pills is at an all time high
young folks walkin' 'round with their heads in the sky
Cities aflame in the summer time, and oh the beat goes on
Eve of destruction, tax deduction,
City inspectors, bill collectors,
Evolution, revolution, gun control, the sound of soul,
Shootin' rockets to the moon, kids growin' up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will solve ev'rything, and the band played on.
Round and round and around we go, where the world's headed nobody knows.
Great googa mooga, can't you hear me talkin' to you, just a
Ball of Confusion that's what the world is today. (yeah, yeah)

Yesterday I dropped my iPhone and the case broke so I headed over to Sherway Gardens to get a replacement case. Much to my surprise the Apple Store was covered with construction hoarding. By the looks of things The store will be at least double in size once the renovation is done. There is a temporary store located across from the Yogurt Fruz.

not sure if it warrants a new thread or if this is the right place to place it....but while the world seems to revolve around Apple these days....here is a reminder that there are other techy companies with retail.

Maybe it could go in the Yorkdale thread?
