I think Ian said at one point the two bays on L1 were going to be some kind of restaurant/dining concept.

I seen the permit drawings earlier this week. It’ll actually going to be in the corner bay to the east of Eye District.

Something potentially going in on the east side of L2

Some of the site locations for INS made almost no sense as well. Before closing, the one at WEM was beside the Dollarama.

It’s still awful, but slightly less awful than before.

No, it’s only 6 storeys.

Haven’t heard anything in awhile. Not sure if it’s completely dead, just delayed.

I also heard July/August. Sounds like were wanting to get going asap.

It just sets a really bad precedent. If this gets built in its current incarnation, it signals to other builders what they can get away with on future projects.

Using the same website as the other post, in 2023 sales in the centre run (so no attraction areas included) were $1200. So for 2025 I’d assume we are somewhere between #4-6. https://retail-insider.com/retail-insider/2024/04/canadas-top-shopping-centres-by-sales-per-square-foot-analysis/

WEM would be #4 or #5, probably close to the same numbers as Chinook. Toronto might be an expensive city to live in, but it’s got a lot of money and the people who are struggling aren’t the target demographic for Yorkdale.

Would be nice, but not going to happen in the current market when they could have their pick from any of the empty Hudson Bay locations at every other mall in Edmonton that are a) much busier and b)have free parking.

I think he (or she) mentioned that the lingerie place was going to be to the west of the eye clinic.

Anyone know what’s going into the commercial space in the SE Corner?

No retail. Just residential.
