Walked home through the PATH today, some renovation updates I noticed:
MetroCentre is, I'd guess, somewhere around 2/3rds done it's renovation, looks like they're working on the food court and south end of the concourse now (they usually do work in the morning/early afternoon on MetroCentre so the construction workers were gone by the time I was there), north end is mostly finished beyond adding plants to the planters and having you know, any stores other than Rexall. We do however have the first new tenant announced, Health One opening in the northern part of the centre block of stores in Fall 2026. Not the most exciting option IMO but fits if the plan is to move MetroCentre towards serving local needs in addition to office workers. Would have preferred the Farm Boy or LCBO from the 2019 signage renders though.
Sheraton Centre revamp is getting closer to being finished. Still a lot of unfinished walls, but there's new seating in both the shopping area and the food court (both largely fenced off so far though). Floors and ceilings are done, walls seem to be done for the easier parts, it's mostly the areas where there are angled corners, fire equipment boxes or electrical outlets that are unfinished. As an aside, I wish they'd paint the beige entrance in the middle to the one hotel ballroom, it looks very out of place with the new look.
HBC looks the same as the last time I was there. One escalator left to fix. Blue fencing still everywhere.
