That sounds familiar, but I thought they passed?

All I can find is a CBC article[1] featuring the original announcement which includes a line that Kava Beans gets first dibs (the way it is presented feels casual not contractual) but nothing for a few years now. A Record article[2] from the same day has a nearly identical picture but nothing about the plans for Kava. Whether or not they passed seems like the sort of thing that ends up in forums and such and not in papers. It's a long time to go without an active business, though a coffee shop on the ground floor of a 33-storey building seems likely to do good business even if it were mediocre (which Kava definitely wasn't).
