Are the rents on those units just untenable? Perhaps city taxes on empty storefronts should be adjusted to make filling them a more attractive option.
Most or perhaps all of the vacant units across the street are (probably/speculation) going to be turned into an LCBO.

Rana's "new" location really isn't new, it's been there for some time.

Also, restaurants don't generally move into just any retail unit; they prefer a place with the ventilation and other infrastructure for a commercial kitchen already in place.

The sign in the parking lot indicates that the lot will close permanently on 2018-03-23.

Looks like asbestos removal has begun on the site; demolition sure to follow soon after.

The old building is mostly gone, I wanted to catch the colourful chimney come down but I guess I missed it

Where was this exactly? For some reason, I never have seen this chimney, how could I have missed it?

I know! I used to work in the area and never noticed the chimney either.

Cool! Thanks so much. I have no idea how I missed that, perhaps because I haven't taken that part of Hall's Lane during the day for a while.
