Toronto The Madison | 121m | 36s | Madison Group | Kirkor

Forgot to post this earlier but on the 13th I saw soil testing equipment in the parking lot next to the sales centre (where the west tower will be) and the whole lot blocked off with caution tape. It was full again with cars this past Sunday when I went by.
 
Looks like now its going to be 36 and 33 storeys.

Sushi Star, the last business at 111-117 Eglinton closed on Jan 31.

Demolition crews fenced off the two buildings this morning.
 
Very generic looking design but nice to have this empty lot filled up. The large amount of retail sounds great though. Also pretty much completes the streetscape on this urban stretch of Eglinton East.
 
I came across the drawings for this project today ... indeed per posts above Loblaws is shown on 2nd floor occupying the western 2/3 of the building (extra high ceilings hence occupying equalvalent of 2nd and 3rd level of the residential levels)

there will be 2 larger retail units at each end of the ground floor fronting onto Eglinton, just over 7,000 ft2 each, and the Loblaws' escalator/elevator lobby will be smack in the middle of the Eglinton face of the building

5 levels of underground parking, P1 dedicated to commercial parking

I really think some space should have been dedicated to commercial office use ... to try to account for the offices that were demolished.

Y&E is going to lose even more office space if the projects at Redpath and Eglinton and at Duplex and Eglinton are approved.

Anyway, here's a photo I took this morning using my phone of the ongoing demolition.

I mentioned this above but I'm both surprised and disappointed a couple floors in the podium weren't devoted to office space, that'd probably amount to 100K, which would make up for what was demolished.

Well, if Ri-Can can get their act together and re-cad and build the proposed extra 12 office floors (300.000 sq.ft.) to the Eglinton/Yonge office towers,,,, that would more than make up what is being lost.
