It is recognized as a heritage element and stated as item 506 in the conservation plan - "install representative wood block flooring".

The original wood flooring will not be preserved as it is saturated with some nasty organic solvents that you definitely wouldn't want offgassing next to your food. (As explained by someone at Doors Open, IIRC.)

Very exciting development as it also provides additional community and retail/culinary space to the area. This along with the Well and King Portland Centre (+Kingly condos, hate that name tho) are game changers IMO, as they make further use of the inner fabric within the King West district. While also drawing greater connectivity and pedestrian flow between the main and side streets.
