RioCan is planning to redevelop their RioCan Hall property at Richmond and John with the Scotiabank Theatre complex in it, and they are inviting anyone who would like to visit to get a first look.

Hmm? i wonder if they are planning a tower over top
I thot you're absolutely right, there may be a decent open urban park in the mix too.I think it will be more than that. A complete tear-down and construction of a new complex, likely 2 - 3 towers based on the footprint. No movie theatre, as I expect that will be moved to The Well.
This is pure speculation, but it is based on some teaser information from @ProjectEnd in another thread - cannot recall which one.
This project should look pretty decent if the architects of the Well project Hariri and Pontarini are going to be designing it .
You got a point there maybe there's another Mini Well size project that's going to be happening here with basically the same team . That would be great !Allied is also behind the Well. This maybe all Riocan. There is a difference.
That's correct, this is all riocan, allied isn't involved. Though I'm pretty certain they are working with HP on it.Allied is also behind the Well. This maybe all Riocan. There is a difference.
Downtown is an inconvenient location for a theatre complex? It's going to be quite a pain for TIFF and HotDocs to work around if there's no theatre there.For sure they will be seeking more uses and a lot more density. It would be unfortunate to lose the theatre as inconvenient a downtown location can be.
RioCan says it themselves in the first post in this thread, so you can raise your pretty certainty to total certainty.That's correct, this is all riocan, allied isn't involved. Though I'm pretty certain they are working with HP on it.
