So can you order online and pick up there? Or you have to order in person? How long does it take for the order to arrive?
You order online. The timeframe is not specified in their promo materials, but is quicker than custom delivery. More details here: http://m.ikea.com/ca/en/pages/local_store/pup_index/

A sign has gone up for "Funhouse" - a new skater/snowboarder shop in the former Gloss location at 87 King St W. No indication of when I will open, but I assume it will be soon.

I thought I saw their graphics on the retail component of the student building at University and Sunview too.

I went to the IKEA pick-up location on Tuesday. Not a bad selection of items available for immediate purchase: shelves, tables, chairs, pillows, duvet covers, etc.. Some items, like the Lack coffee table had 6 colours on display, but 3-4 available for immediate purchase. They also had 12-20 computers set up for placing orders.
They were handing out coupons to get 15% off an order (from July 7th - August 7th), but they have to be used on an order placed in store, for pick up in store -- two trips required!
I'd prefer a full IKEA, but I'm sure I'll make use of this mini-store.

The "Funhouse" at University and Sunview seems to be a board game and e-sports cafe.

After a couple of months with no apparent activity, I noticed some folks at the Public Market on Frederick today. The door was open and the interior looked to be finished, down to tables and chairs in place. They are supposed to be opening on July 12th, according to the Public Kitchen & Bar facebook page.

I noticed on my morning bike ride a few days ago that there are fences up around a large area of the parking lot at Beechwood Plaza parking (Erb & Fischer-Hallman). It looks like they will be building something in the corner closest to the intersection. But since I rarely go by there unless I'm on a bike ride I haven't had a chance to look around and see if there are any details posted.
Does anyone know?

If I'm thinking of the correct corner, they're building 2 office towers there?

All I know is what was posted here, some months ago. I can't remember what thready they were posted in either, unfortunately
Edit: actually, I may have been thinking king of Erb / Ira Needles?
Edit 2: wrong again, it was Highland / Ira Needles I was thinking of. Oops. Way off, sorry!

This was just asked on a Reddit thread; the answer was that a Tim Hortons will be going in.

Good, I had noticed that this area is under-TimHortoned, with no Tim Hortons west of Philip, north of University. That's a big chunk of the city.
