In May, vendors, many of whom have occupied their units for decades, were abruptly given notice that their leases would end in a matter of weeks. Dorjee Nepali, the owner of Tibet Gallery, told blogTO during our visit to Cumberland Terrace last week ahead of its imminent closure. But the rent in the adjacent Holt Renfrew Centre, Manulife Centre, Hudson Bay Centre and others is significantly higher. Ostensibly, with so few tenants left and the mall's end imminent, owners didn't believe investing the resources to repair it would be worth it. Cumberland Terrace is located at 820 Yonge St. and is attached to TTC's Bay subway station.
