Yup, they added a bay to the north side of the building. I believe when Costco and Price Club merged. If you look at G Earth or aerial maps you can see the different colour in the roofing.
The Costco is 133,000 sq.ft. in that location and for reference the Burlington IKEA is 200,000 sq.ft. I would say even if they bulldoze the Costco your not going to squeeze a 200,000 sq.ft. plate on that lot with the required parking that you'd need.
I don't know of any big box format retailer that is reusing old building right now. They all want to build to their specific store format. I agree that I could see them carving up the store into smaller units to reuse it like they did the old Home Depot on Warncliffe.
