Is FreshCo still the only grocery store in this area?

There's been a Metro at Gladstone & Queen for years now.

Ugh. When I was looking at condos on Sudbury Street years ago, I heard it referred to as "Suicide Row"

I saw a unit listed for rent in this building and all the exterior photos were renders. I was surprised at how good they looked for Sudbury Street, and then I came to this thread. Yeesh, talk about cheapening.

There’s a big Metro right across the street from Queen. Closer than FreshCo. A Dollarama too.

I think this building is now "ready to occupy"...but someone please take a recent progress picture.

I think that it may already be occupied starting last month.

It's a real gem!

After all the dreck that's been dumped on WQW, it's nice to see something of quality pop up.

Yes almost all floors have been occupied starting mid May.

I'm inclined to agree, even though it's rather sterile at sidewalk level.

Someone clearly isn't a fan of Bohemian Embassy!

Nope. Although I have heard that the units are quite nice to live in!

I went looking for the "Bohemian Embarrassment" image from way back in the day, and I found it, but also now *I'm* feeling embarrassed - $159,000 for a one bedroom? Mein Gott! If only that were possible today!

Took me a little while to figure out the “Kotsy” at the top of the corner of the building is a watermark, not some unusually neatly-executed graffiti!

Now can you find 'kotsy' in the 2nd photo?
