Its the lands where the driving range was and there is some sort of truck terminal behind. There is room for 2 big boxes 120-150,000sf plus some other buildings.

Nike closed there Y&E locatoin a while back as well - which for those curious has turned over 3 times sinceand is currently (just recently) occupied by Reitmans (which moved from Y&E center) ... seems odd to me.
Anyway Nike never seem to do well outside of malls for the most part.
Maybe that Y&E spot is just one of those 'cursed' retail locations. And the Queen St location was always kind of crummy. Whenever I need running gear I'd look in there and not find a thing, but the flagship store on Bloor always had what I was after. I suspect Nike just does better with large stores, since they target so many different sports, plus streetwear.

According to their website, Crate & Barrel 2 (CB 2) is opening at Bathurst and Queen this Summer. CB 2 parrels IKEA more than a higher end store.
Just looked at chairs on their site; those are not IKEA prices!

You sure ? The place above it and the place right north of it are for lease (I think it was an internet cafe). But Levi's is still there I think.

It's been cleared out and there is a sign in the door...I don't think it's for a renovation.

Central Surplus, which is being displaced by 'Five Condominium' is moving across the street to the old Gasworks building.

Another Quizno Subs has gone under. The one at Yonge & Wellesley has closed and the Bay/Charles location closed awhile back.

As Bloor St. retail real estate becomes more and more expensive I wonder if the owners of the Colonnade have considered convereting this little used driveway into 2 storey retail. There's 100s of thousands in annual rental $ sitting there.

You know, I've walked by that a hundred times and never noticed that stairway.
