Thanks. It is time to allow retail to sprout up along this side street as the density of residents is high enough. More coffee shops please!

Nice to see the laneway open again.

Looks like the second floor of the heritage houses is the weight room/gym amenity space.

The rebuilt heritage facade looks great.

Taken at dawn this morning. Probably the only time this tower looks somewhat impressive.

So the space in the heritage building is going to be a Neo Coffee Bar. Taken 8 July.

What is with those useless squares of plants? If you don't have room for trees, so be it. But just put a couple of nice, moveable, stone or terra cotta planters and do flowers. That looks goofy, and the plants will get trampled.

@Paclo I think we can label this one's status as 'complete'.

I believe those plants are Burkwoods Osmanthus which are dog pee tolerant. Since dogs gather important social networking information with their noses, I think this landscaping is a wonderful canine amenity (a doggy internet cafe if you will).

Don't think that's Burkwood, the image isn't clear enough of the leaves, but Burkwood are shrubs and get quite large, I don't think you would ever put 3 or 4 in a tiny litte patch of soil.

They grow 6 to 8ft high.

Looks to be opening soon. This stretch of Yonge is getting really bougie!

I saw this on the heritage building at the corner but unsure what it means. Will investigate.
