A friend in the neighbourhood said that there’s actually a new construction on that corner (NW) already… sooo, anyone gonna tell those people?
Here's the neighbourhood context map. Like at Pape to the south, the station will not be below Pape itself, but instead of being to the east of Pape, here it will be to the west:

As I've spent my entire life growing up in this neighbourhood, I'm kind of disappointed with this plan. I don't want to see that entire west side stretch of retail wiped out for a station and would much rather see the McDonalds on the north-east corner replaced. I do understand however that the tracks will run west of Pape, so it is what it is I guess.

Yep, here's the NW corner of Pape & Cosburn. Photos from October 2020:

1030 Pape Ave (@ Cosburn, 3s, ?)
NW corner of Pape & Cosburn, and replaces a former 2 storey building where Crow Cleaners used to be.

Wonder what the game is there- continue renovation, rent out while you can, wait for the expropriation train

I'm thinking that they must make money by increasing the property value prior to expropriation because on the site of the Mt Pleasant Crosstown secondary entrance they fixed up the property while public consultations were in progress indicating exactly where the station would be.

Pretty sure the station is going further north on the property on the south west corner of Gamble & Pape. Was supposed to be a Shoppers Drug Mart and would have been built by now.

Can't quite get the exact view angle available right at the corner on Google Maps, but the perspective of the rendering lines up with the NW corner of Pape & Cosburn, looking west ward along Cosburn.
The neighbourhood context map (a few posts up) also indicates that corner, along with a smaller station structure a bit south of Cosburn.

And like most of these renders, they're just placeholders and don't reflect the planned TOC development at both the northwest and southwest corners of Pape and Cosburn. Still pretty appalling that all of that retail will be wiped out to allow for cut and cover construction. Of course Metrolinx knows best...

Makes way more sense to expropriate and demolish the McDonalds with surface parking
