^ The planned departures of Williams-Sonoma and Pottery Barn will free up considerable space on Bloor.

Right! Space for at least 4 very generously sized shops. They vacate in January, as I recall?

Yorkville retail is boring, but I wonder if H&M is moving to 1 Bloor East with the redevelopment of 1 Bloor West beginning next year?

Frank Stollery just sold 11 Bloor St W (where Magnum pop-up was) to Mizrahi Dev. Group for $15-million (0.6 AC site slated for high density).
Looks like it's only a 50% ownership share.

Cool. Didn't know that. My understanding though is that the store itself will have trouble being redeveloped. The land is owned by the Stollery family, but the store itself is managed by a different family and they have long-term lease or clause on the store. As they say it is complicated.

Interesting- a company putting up a bunch of 'historicist' structures in the city. Perhaps the existing Stollery's structure is to be incorporated in the design of whatever is planned (I imagine this would be done in partnership with the Stollery family, if they haven't sold that building/land). Could be great. Could be terrible.

Most of the time this comes down to space, but I suspect we'll see another run of major luxury retailers announced for Yorkdale fairly soon. Of course, I'd rather see Yorkville continue to be THE go-to destination, the trend seems to be, if a retailer can't get into Yorkville, open in Yorkdale, and then add a second location in Yorkville. Burberry, Kate Spade, De Beers (rumoured), Ferragamo, Bvlgari (rumoured), Moncler, Jimmy Choo, David Yurman, are just a few examples.

I don't know if the Stollery family will sell the land underneath the store until they can boot out their tenant (Stollerys, the store). Imagine Stollery's is like Hong Kong. And the Stollery family is like China.

The instagram that prosperegal provided has a link to their website. It's a salad place currently in Cumberland Terrace.

Go to Salad Days any weekday lunchtime and it's not unusual to see 30 or 40 people lined up, ditto for the soup place across the hall. They are moving into larger premises across from the new Dollarama near the Hudson Bay foodcourt.

Remeny's is moving from 210 Bloor.

Also does anyone know what's going on with 99 Yorkville? (Where the coffee mill was?). The coffee mill, the paper store and the international presse have all closed. I wonder if the landlord is going to redevelop the retail?

Hmmm, if they redevelop 99 Yorkville, then Moroco Chocolat will have to move, no?
