Are G+C out here? No new docs; but a new Arch. Firm registered to lobby on this:

The Rexall that was in that heritage corner building closed down about 8 years ago and since then the building has been pretty much boarded up. Whatever iteration they'll come up with, it will be at least 2 years before construction starts. Why destroy a vital corner of the city by not leasing that space all this time?
 
I'll give this to @MessiGoat he's quick! However, he missed the mention of S9; its on the front page of the Arch. Drawings.

So the substantive change here is clearly the podium expression when you look back at the renders from Nov '22:

So they've gone almost all brick on the podium and added a curving feature right at the corner of Church/Wellesley as opposed to a hard corner.

Its a definite improvement. I still struggle to understand the ground floor retail expression, I assume that will be leased space, though they're rendered it as a cavern surrounded by clear glazing. No! Just bring the brick down and demise the space.
I don't see a proper spot for retail signage ...gah!
