CBC's report on the sale of the building indicates that Schreiters Furniture will relocate somewhere in the Downtown core, early in 2017. Best bets for the new location would seem to me to be either the Eaton Lofts, or the Schlicter building that Vanguard will be renovating at 132 Queen S.
Given that the Ontario St side tenants appear to be staying, and the Queen St side has a for-lease sign, I think 132 Queen is not on the cards. There is only 15,000 sq ft available, too, only about half as much as Schreiters has now.
Eaton Lofts or Budds look to be the best bets as new construction won't happen in time for them.
