The Madison is still just a pretty big hole in the ground as shown in this picture taken by our man today (Monday, June 3, 2013). There was certainly work going on in the big pit. The twin condominium structures of 33 and 30 storeys have a completion date in 2015 so there’s lots of time to meet that target. The attractive idea of a Loblaws store on the retail mezzanine of the Madison has been a focus for many people. The promotional material online contains this picture but the text refers only to “a proposed major grocery store.” That’s a rather odd way of putting it. The Madison sits on Eglinton Ave. E. between Dunfield Ave. and Lillian St. on land which was previously a mix of retail and commercial including, as many will remember, the York Theatre.
