Err, which retail spaces are empty?

I live in a building which backs on to Alex Park and out of 17 commercial units, 1 is actively trading. The stretch of Queen west of Spadina is probably close to 50% empty or not actively trading, with Popeyes most recently going out of business and the landlord seized goods to pay back rent. There are similarly empty units on Dundas.

^Though I respect your observations because of first-hand experience I wonder about the reason for vacancy such as unrealistic rent or impending redevelopment.

Taken 4 April. Coming along. And when I mentioned being curious as to whether retail might start popping up along Augusta south of Dundas it was in the townhouses on the west side that I had in mind. And of course a heated scone and drip coffee at the new OCAD Dark Horse!

When are the rest of those shabby 70's buildings along Dundas coming down?

The eastern sidewalk on Denison just south of Dundas has re-opened. I will try and get some pictures, but it looks great!
