It is now more than a year since Coca Cola Limited began to talk about its move to downtown Toronto from the property on Overlea Boulevard. It is an enormous property which includes the general offices and bottling companies of the soft drink maker as well as parking for cars and trucks that never seems to stop. The mystery of just what the future holds for the nicely located space is even greater because it does not appear that Coke has the place listed anywhere. That may happen but can it be that Coke is quietly cycling the property around to those who might have an interest? Either way, the layperson’s guessing game of just what might work at this location is definitely on. As we know, it sits across the street from the East York Town Centre where each day the new Target store comes closer to opening. It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to see how a Target competitor — Walmart, Costco — might wish to set up across the street. The location might even suit a big box grocer like Metro. One thing is certain, there is more to be heard on this topic.
