This is a perfect location for a Sobeys Urban Fresh store or similar small format chain grocery store. Even a Farm Boy would be greatly welcomed!
Also there is nothing beautiful about those 2 houses with no yards, I never understood why they were even left there?

When they bought out the neighbouring houses to build the plaza, these 2 just wouldn't sell. There was another similar house on Dundurn, which held out till about 2008.
I don't know what y'all speak of. This corner house is a beauty. I also love old corner houses because they always seemed to have two fronts rather than modern corner houses that have one side as just siding and windows. I also love the vines crawling up the side. Adds a lot of character to that hood.

There will be plenty of incentive for something like that to open. We'll probably see more than one new grocery store downtown within the next 10 years, even if only half of the larger proposals end up being built.
There used to be an old IGA which changed ownership and names by the Pheasant that used to serve western Corktown. It was OK, but the prices weren't great (but better than the Hasty Market). Hopefully something new comes for the neighbourhood.
I think they have their site plan application in process right now.
2-3 months really isn’t a lot of time following zoning approval. Give it some more time. I want to say that I remember Slate saying that they plan on this being a rental building so hopefully it moves to construction soon.
"Demolishion of existing properties for Mixed-use development"
odd description, sounds more like a building permit. The misspelling is cute. Not sure whats going on here, they already had a site plan application filed and you don't need a site plan application to demolish buildings.
At least it indicates the project is still moving forward and is probably approaching construction!
Surprisingly, this is only 5 months after submittiing the SPA, which is a very quick turnaround for a large project like this. I wonder if we will see construction begin here soon?
Will not miss that crappy plaza. Vegan restaurant is good, rest who cares. Such a prime location, glad they're not blowing it, but still needs a grocery store.
I know the owner/pharmacist @ the IDA in that plaza. Talking to him about this new development, and he told me he has already secured another property in the general area which he has been paying rent for the past 2 months in anticipation of this starting relatively soon. So, I take that with more than just a grain of salt. Time will tell all, but my money is on it being soon.
