Unfortunately, nothing is progressing as planned; it’s turning out to be far more complicated than anticipated. I also doubt they’ll get approval for the proposed height. It’s a shame because this could’ve been a great addition to Alias.It had / has a now-stagnated proposal of its own: https://urbantoronto.ca/database/projects/124-church.51132
I'm with @maestro here, I'm glad it's separate. Keep blocks as fine-grained as possible. Assemblies, while necessary, are almost always detrimental to the pedestrian experience.
You don't make money that way...Agreed.

I don't recall if Madison was among those to put in an offer on the corner site, I assume they were, I know they had offers over the years.
Its a real curiosity that they didn't sell.

I would add, that while I agree w/you and @maestro I would add, that larger assemblies wouldn't harm the pedestrian experience as much as they often do, if architects and developers in this town would design better podiums and retail spaces.
The loading areas are an impediment in need of addressing, but even w/them, we could do so much better, on average, than we typically see.
