Does anyone know if Teatro Verde has anyone taking over its Hazelton Lanes spot yet?

eleven has opened on Cumberland in the old rk store. I think it originally was supposed to be Lundstrom, but it's now carrying other brands as well.
ETA: Part of Sassafraz is currently under renovation. They're turning half the place (what was once the bar) into a more casual "cafe" style place.

But it certainly looks like the future:

Considering everything I would have thought we'd see more closings

^It's barely started.
Yorkville Av and Cumberland Av: stay tuned for further closings.

I guess Calvin Klein's using the Lifebuoy soap. It stops B-O (cue foghorn)

To be honest, it's mostly the midmarket stuff that's closing.. The luxury brands seem to be doing well, not to mention all the opening we're seeing.

Right, but there are only so many luxury well known brands in the world - even if every single one of them came to Toronto and all the midmarkets disappears you'd still have a lot of closings.

Actually that shouldn't affect Toronto's scene at all. Compared to even low tier American cities, we have very little to offer in terms of luxury shopping, aside from the monster Holts and Harry Rosen. (I'm talking about Bloor-Yorkville here, not the rest of the city which is doing just fine).
Dallas, which doesn't strike me as any sort of fashionable city, has far more labels than Toronto could ever get.

What are you arguing ?
You said the midmarket sector is more vulnerable followed by stating Toronto is dominated by the mimarket sector in Yorkville verse big labels.That's true, I remember my visit to Houston -the prices in the shopping mall were quite a bit higher then what you find in Yorkville itself!

I'm not quite sure.. LOL! Long day, long day.... Anyway, Bloor itself is still strongly dominated by midmarket retailers. Now, we're finally seeing that final shift into stores that can afford the exorbitant rents. I always mentioned Yorkville, and not Toronto itself, which from what I can see is doing decently.

What's the situation in other cities, you don't really see too many articles regarding it but hows the luxury scene in say New York, Chicago, Dallas, Miami?
