Massive European-style food hall coming to downtown Toronto

As the Globe and Mail building continues to be dismantled along Front Street West, more information has come to light about its future replacement, The Well.

The development still requires approval from the city, so it's a little early to bank on everything looking exactly as it does in the snazzy renderings, but this is planned as much as a retail and food destination as a condo, and that will make many people quite happy.
