Seems like its neighbour to the west just got sold.

Oh nice a grocer. Rabba maybe?

Oh nice a grocer. Rabba maybe?

It being a second floor store makes me think it'll be something bigger than a Rabba.

Some commentary on the potential grocery space in the building's podium:

The application proposes to demolish a series of low-rise residential and commercial buildings that collectively contain eight rental dwelling units in order to redevelop the lands with a 27-storey apartment building comprised of 453 dwelling units, including eight replacement rental units. Commercial retail uses, including space for a potential supermarket, would be located on the first and second floors. The total Gross Floor Area (GFA) of the proposed development is approximately 34,900 square metres, of which approximately 31,300 square metres is residential GFA and approximately 3,600 square metres is non-residential GFA, resulting in a Floor Space Index (FSI) of 7.22 times the lot area.

New renderings are updated in the database. Project information is changed in the new update. The overall storey count remains at 27 storeys and the overall building height is the same at 97.50m. The total unit count changed from 453 units to 445 units. Finally, the overall parking spaces were reduced from 167 parking to 166 parking.

The renderings are taken from the architectural plan via Site Plan Approval:

From the Arch Plans, we can see the ~23000ft supermarket on the 2nd level:

Whoever made this render went ham copypasting those Ferraris and Covettes. Render people living large!

 

[LUVIT!]

I saw those cars also. Parliament and Queen E is SO Beverly Hills!

There goes my local Shoppers Drug Mart

They should lower the podium to match the height of the former WE building. That's the least they can do. And I hate that stupid park. Just continue the street-retail frontage.

New Architectural Plans were uploaded to the AIC on October 24th, 2022. Looks like the grey material planned along the Power Street frontage has been swapped for an orange brick instead:

Shoppers is leaving the site this September and will move to Queen and Sherbourne.
