Manulife (King Centre) redevelopment project

I don't think anyone outside of Google knows for sure. But speculatively, they seem to only be accelerating hiring here. Their 3000 employees in KW target would be right at the limit of (or even a little over) what the Breithaupt Block (including phase 3) could accommodate at Google's typical sq ft per employee. So if they keep hiring they'll need more space, and the new building won't be done for a while. There's also the question of less dense offices post-Covid, which a lot of employers are talking about. I won't be surprised if by the time they move in to the new building it's already full and they end up keeping the other office space.
