When I go by at lunch time, that food seating area is becoming quite busy. The only thing missing are food places.
A missed opportunity 4 years ago. They had it all planned and ready to go. They were moving toward having that space licensed as well. Then a slowdown hit plus covid then the sale of the building.When I go by at lunch time, that food seating area is becoming quite busy. The only thing missing are food places.
Can't change the past, but the best time to fix that is ... now!A missed opportunity 4 years ago. They had it all planned and ready to go. They were moving toward having that space licensed as well. Then a slowdown hit plus covid then the sale of the building.
Trades have been poking around in the food spaces lately.When I go by at lunch time, that food seating area is becoming quite busy. The only thing missing are food places.
i'm not sure how much of missed opportunity it was 4 years ago. it probably saved a host of new businesses from going bankrupt over the past 4 years with those spaces being empty either way. it might better be described as a bullet dodged than a missed opportunity...A missed opportunity 4 years ago.

Thanks for the update, I went by yesterday and saw some activity in the SE corner, I was wondering about it too. I believe EF 103 - 104 is SE and EF 108- 109B is SW.Talked to a guy putting up some window coverings at the SE corner of Stantec today and he confirmed that Henry Singer is moving into that spot (they have started interior work already). Looks to be the EF-108 space as well as EF-109B. I am unsure if they are taking more space on the ground floor than those two units.

Competition for MDRN Measure in ET and Helm in Encore.Talked to a guy putting up some window coverings at the SE corner of Stantec today and he confirmed that Henry Singer is moving into that spot (they have started interior work already).

Now, all that we need to see is that food court filling up, at least one extra retailer go in there and another restaurant with a good patio, and we'll see this area boom for good!Based on the latest leasing brochure, Henry Singer is taking EF105, 106, 107, 108 and 109B.

If we get a Starbucks reserve there, I am moving to Sky Residences as soon as my lease is up, so I can spend my whole pay check there.The two 'Future Retail/Restaurant' spaces aren't shown as being available, so I wonder if that means there are already leases in place but the tenants just haven't been announced yet? Interesting because Starbucks was orignally looking at the space beside the former Rexall for a fancy 'Reserve' store...
The ideal one would be another DeVille, which is far superior to Blenz. A Starbucks Reserve is a close second.Stantec needs to open a coffee shop so that they can serve the ice skaters, the 9-5 workers and the Rogers Place event attendees. I'm personally rooting for Blenz but I'd be OK with a Tim Hortons!
