Optimistically, there is a new sign posted looking to lease retail space:

The Zoning By-law amendment application for this site has been finalized. In April 2019, the developer, the City, and all other parties to the appeal reached a settlement for a 12-storey building on site, which the LPAT approved. A Site Plan application, including streetscaping at the northeast corner of Bloor St W and Riverview Gardens, remains under review. A demolition application for the buildings onsite has been approved.

• Demolition: January 2021 to September 2021
• Excavation and shoring: September 2021 to December 2022;
• Below grade formwork: January 2023 to January 2024;

Seems like a pretty relaxed schedule. Demolition seems long, as do excavation and shoring given that they're not going all that deep here. Then a whole other year to get back to grade.

I guess the upside is that this schedule is probably realistic.

I suspect there will be lots of careful, difficult work to be done below grade around — and near — the TTC subway tunnels. Must butt right up against them?

At its closest point in the northeast corner, the walls will still be over 7 metres from the subway tunnel.

Hopefully they get some good soundproofing installed here. This section of subway has been one of the most notorious spots for wheel squeel and vibration issues.
