Was in MEC on King yesterday.........in the course of my time there, asked staff about a move date and plans.......
I am told staff expect to shift to the Queen St. site in April.
They also don't expect any advance closure, apparently a specialized team will move all inventory overnight,
King will close one day and Queen open the next.

With every update, this building becomes worse. How can the detailing be so messy?

After all these months, I'm still processing how horrific this thing is. What were they thinking.

Funny how mysterious arson never affects crap buildings like this...

Wow, the Soho Street facade looks abysmal.
Welcome to Markham south!
Sweeny&Co has been designing some really hideous buildings.

it is truly abysmal - walking by it everyday I truly wonder how the city allows junk like this to be built!

I dont know what's been up with Sweeny&Co over the past couple of years, but something has clearly changed over the past 5 years. For them to be designing and commissioning things like this repeatedly is worrying.

What, were they thinking? What were they, thinking?

Because the city allows all junk to be built, unless it doesn't comply with fire regulations...

The only contribution this building is making to the neighbourhood is putting parking underground. Presumably there’s more parking underground than the surface lot it’s replacing. We really need to start eliminating street parking on major streets, specially ones with streetcar lines. That’ll only happen if politicians can point to other parking options. This gets us a little bit closer.
Then again, imagine being the owner of these homes...
Their properties are now facing the butt end of a big box store. Values must’ve plummeted after this.
