It may not even be a restaurant at this point. The building permit above mentions office space.

They also have permit applications in for both plumbing and mechanical and there were guys working there an hour ago. (Note to @raptor The permit above says it is NOT to do with Ossmington's office space.) I am betting it's still a restaurant as it's prime public space.

Maybe Grand Central Oyster Bar can open a branch here.

"Early next year" Could be April or July

With one contest ending at The One thread, I'm sure some would be interested in a new contest...

The decor difference is startling, let alone the functional differences. From cheesy and 70s, to 2020. What a difference!

I mean "2020". This design is probably over a decade old by now.

Spring 2020 seems to be a product of the "shared access agreement" mentioned in the article, which allows Metrolinx to start their work while the City finishes theirs.

Hey man, it's the 2000s now.

Still crossing my fingers for a Cinnabon...

They really should have left a time capsule with a Cinnabon and a pretzel there.
