I can't wait to see it done - that corner has been sad, sad, sad for far too long. http://perimeterdevelopment.com/projects...reet-west/
Maybe it IS Schreiter's? I believe their building is up for sale if i'm not mistaken?
That is why I speculate. I got shot down a few weeks back when I said I thought it would be a good location if Schreiters were to move (too small, it was said). In any event, I've seen nothing to indicate that Schreiters plans to move or close, apart from the recent post that the building is up for sale. (Also insider made mention of the Schreiters Building in his first post about the alleged redevelopment plans at Charles and Gaukel).
By the way, as long as I'm speculating/fantasizing about where things should go, how about the LCBO for the Queen/King corner of the American Hotel Block if the owner's idea of an urban food store doesn't work out? Is 7,000 sq ft (I think it was) too big/too small for a Downtown LCBO? Maybe we should start a letter writing campaign - anything would be better than that sorry excuse at the future Kings Crossing site!
