It appears it is not - there is now advertising for a Luca Faloni shop in the windows, to open Fall 2025.

This is just truly wild speculation on my part... but I wonder if they decided not to expand because they are moving to an even larger and more branded space.

As a 15+ year resident of the area, the reasons for this sentiment are many. I don't have time to list them.

You. That cafe is utterly anti-Towered. I hate the look.

Laderdach is opening on Bloor Street; I assume they're going into the 110 Bloor Street empty space.

I also don't have evidence, but my spidey sense is that Gucci is expanding elsewhere on the street (100 Bloor former Holts space is leased, but don't know by who, they decided NOT to expand next door, the Yorkdale store will be 12SF even though Bloor is considered the flagship).
Läderach expands with Cadillac Fairview shopping centres and Bloor Street chocolateries
Operating since 1962 and with the reigning World Chocolate Master at its helm, Läderach is the largest chocolate retailer in Switzerland with 200 chocolatiers across 21 countries worldwide and online.

Very interesting re 100 Bloor. However, Gucci is not expanding at Yorkdale Mall.Laderdach is opening on Bloor Street; I assume they're going into the 110 Bloor Street empty space.

They’re opening a 12k sf store in the wing that used to have Michelle’s Baguette and Bikini Village which was repurposed for luxury (my how times have changed)!

It would appear the old Albert Britnell building (765 Yonge) will be a Shake Shack by mid-2026.

Good *expletive* riddance. Fun fact: the BIA threatened to sue me when I (factually) pointed out their longstanding opposition to the Bloor bike lanes between Avenue and Yonge on Twitter.
Briar was also a staunch ringleader against any pedestrianization efforts in Yorkville.
So, yeah, good job making your neighbourhood worse for everyone (the business you represent, included) over the last quarter century!
