"But a city can be smothered by too much reverence for its past. The skyline must keep acquiring new peaks, because the day we consider it complete and untouchable is the day the city begins to die." - Justin Davidson - May 2010 Issue of New York
Given the state of the office and retail markets downtown I am not expecting either of those to be built. Most likely a residential building or a hotel, I would imagine. But where?
St. Mary Ave. apartment building restarting is definitely top of mind for me as something I'd love to see when I open the paper in the morning. With interest rates ticking up again, who knows now, though. A Wawa building redevelopment announcement on Broadway would be amazing as well. One thing I'd love to see come from WFH is Canada Life building some residential on those god awful parking lots at its HQ as they're probably not as utilized as they once were.

RE-Wawanesa on Broadway, the redevelopment would be great, even better if complemented by that parking lot right on the corner being redeveloped too.

A Wawanesa redevelopment on Broadway (preferably one that fills the surface lots next door) would be huge. Between that and the proposed hotel redevelopment it will really go a long way to reshaping Broadway.
I wonder if Broadway will attract more activity like that given that it is a much more inviting environment than Portage, which is taking on a downright dystopic character between the traffic, the vacancies and the social problems.
