King West

Howdy: Just wanted to say that I added up all of the units now being occupied in the Entertainment District and got just over 4,000 or between 6-7,000 new residents in a fairly small area. Now this is east of Spadina and south of Queen. That is a lot of residents without a large increase in the amount of retail so the existing businesses must be loving this. But I don't think that this area has a dedicated community centre or a library?

Yep, this is an issue in many neighbourhoods that have experienced significant residential growth in the last decade. There is the Harrison Pool at Queen and John, but that's it. Similar issues in Liberty Village.
 
Going in on King west of Portland.

I saw that the former SportsNet retail space at the NE corner of King and Peter/Blue Jays (base of the Hyatt hotel) has finally been leased 👀

Anyone have any inkling as to what to expect? I think the base of King Blue on the SW side is getting a Wendy's, but it will be nice to finally have that intersection fully occupied!
 
At the northeast corner of Wellington and Walnut. Slowly working away. Installed a new basement under old structure which takes time! The ground level open space might be a retail space. Around the corner are Makeway and Patco café which has a sign saying they are closed for time being. I assume that is to do with extensive repaving work on patio area. Taken 20 May.

A laneway house going up opposite Garrison Park on the north side of King. This ‘laneway’ is rapidly becoming a nice street fronting a park sort of like a traditional London square. Taken 6 July.
