You're thinking of 880 Bay. This building, 800 Bay, is still full of tenants and I think just recently finished considerable exterior work.

I don't know how much you want to argue about this, but individual stores do compete on sale pricing and what they stock. I'm not talking about two next-door Metro's competing against each other, nor am I talking about a store manager at Loblaw going out and purchasing apples for his own store...

Oh absolutely they're going to compete locally. While there are guidelines set out from central offices, each store is able to stock unique products and absolutely has local prices. They'd be insane not too. Just as NorthYorkEd pointed out, they have to be able to compete locally in order to...

Have you seen the glass in person? I walk by it every day, and it looks fine to me. I think it'll look great once it's all completed. If you're going to compare drab winter day shots to some very professionally done Kazakh summer photos, then you might need a perspective check. But as to...

Those are nice photos, but I wouldn't go as far as saying they're better. I would think that we need to look at these buildings as more than what kind of glass they use. The Emerald buildings will bring some retail (and a nice Metro) to the area, to where nothing but a parking lot was before...

Info from Nov 2013 from RioCan's website. http://investor.riocan.com/Investor-Relations/News/News-Details/2013/RioCan-Real-Estate-Investment-Trust-Announces-8-Growth-in-Operating-Funds-From-Operations-in-the-Third-Quarter-2013-and-Provides-Update-on-Development-Pipeline/default.aspx Yonge...

Yea, in the space of the old Sheppard Grande theatre.

Anyone have any insight as to when Whole Foods will move in? And whether any other retail will be joining?

Did you pay a deposit? Or were you refunded your money? I imagine it's a little frustrating not knowing what's going on. I don't know how they're going to reach their Occupancy Date of 2016.

I think it's a combination of the angle and the thin buildings.

I don't think it took a long time. In fact, considering this project started after Emerald and Hullmark, it's been super fast in construction

I only count two. One concerning the mini-mall retail being developed at the podium for Emerald Park, and the second being the redevelopment of the retail at Yonge and Sheppard. Considering the fact that retail is the central aspect of both projects, I think it's an appropriate number of...

I agree with the lack of medium to large retail. Although it's good to know that the 'bones' are there. North York centre (yes really) has great potential, and the new food court is a good sign. Empress, while awkward, should be better with better tenants. For example, if they got rid of that...

I mean no offense, but is there a reason you end sentences with a "..."? I enjoy your posts as they're usually informative, but reading them can be a little grating, as the "..." usually implies a longer pause than an actually period. Sorry, just had to ask.

I don't think Pearson is a limiting factor on height. I think that's a zoning issue related to density. As far as I know, the Pearson zoning regulations are pretty limited to Mississauga and Etobicoke.

Yup, it did. I remember some ill-conceived adventures with that thing. I've only lived in the area since high school, and while some buildings seem boring, I think the community has developed fantastically well. There is much more of a community sense than before. Maybe sometimes it's what...

Yes there was. A few years ago it was a McDonalds, with a drive through and everything. I used to hike there from high school with friends. It moved out a while ago, I guess to focus on their Yonge and Sheppard location? A real estate office moved in, but it was always a temporary sort of thing.

Will the retail podium be multilevel, like what is shown in the renderings? The report is a little difficult to parse...

Hm, I think this comment belies your previous one. It's one thing to criticize architecture, and it's another to ask how us NYCCers can put up with "appalling streetscape" and "garbage lined streets". Also, your picture was of Yonge street, not of the Willowdale "mcmansions", which are another...
