From my understanding, the remainder of the old mall is expected to eventually be redeveloped as well as one of the later or last phases to be done. Although the timeline of it will likely be slowed down with the current market conditions.

That was the plan. The project was sequenced so the major retailers could stay open during the first phases of construction. When new buildings with room for the retailers are complete, the retail will move and the old mall will be torn down.

I think this was discussed in one of the articles here, but I couldn't find it. There's some information here.

Reimagining the shopping centre: ULI Spring Meeting keynote

Toronto is front and centre on the global development stage as it hosts the Urban Land Institute Spring Meeting this week, so it's no surprise a key industry issue – retail redevelopment – was one of the first topics of discussion.
renx.ca

An existing community centre will remain while the new one is built and, while half of the mall has been demolished, a grocery store, a pharmacy, a pet supplies store, a bank and a fitness centre have been retained.

“It kind of forced us to do a very awkward phasing plan,” Lazer explained, “but it's all aimed at keeping everything alive while we're actually developing.”

Taken 20 January. I just discovered (much later than everyone else!) that the laneways on the south side of this block connect to the parking lot giving great access. And now I’m curious to investigate how the south edge interacts with the lots around it as we may have a whole new street edge with (skinny) mini-highrise potential?!

This project represents the continuation of a total reconstruction of a significant swath of the built form in the area. I wonder if that means the ugly hydro infrastructure along the main streets, Dupont and Dufferin, will be buried in the vicinity of the project or if it's "safe" for another few generations.
 
I can think of more developments in the 1990s that paid to have hydro buried in front of their buildings than I can in the last decade. My gut tells me it isn't developers not wanting to pay for it.

Doubtful unless Almadev agreed to do it as part of their broader approval. And why would they? They get nothing out of it and it's extremely expensive. Rule of thumb is you budget $50-70K per pole for movement alone. You can triple that (again, per pole) to bury the infrastructure, no problem.
