But that probably won't happen for a while - even after the subway opens,....

.....unless the market undergoes some miraculous kind of speedy recovery in the next couple of years.

Ugh, so RBC is taking a cue from BMO with gaudy bank facades?

COV/Translink own/owned some of those parcels.

COV/Translink owned some of those parcels in the past. COV sold 1431-1451 to Shato. Then I assume Translink still owns 1409/1421 and whoever owns the office block on the end.
