It says major development permit, whatever that means, but I would think more than just painting the walls.With our luck, probably painting the walls.
You got me; they must be doing the floors too.It says major development permit, whatever that means, but I would think more than just painting the walls.
You're correct, but it's nothing fun or exciting. Just concrete repairs to parkade ramps and foundation walls and replacing existing snowmelt systems within the ramps as well.It says major development permit, whatever that means, but I would think more than just painting the walls.
You know what? I'm still happy with this. It's nice to see that even in recievership, the entities in charge are keeping up with maintenance and ensuring that the mall doesn't decay and become a huge liability for any potential buyers. Plus if the process is dragged out, it'll still be a decent place to visit.You're correct, but it's nothing fun or exciting.

City rec centre.Honestly, world's largest dollar store would be a win.
The relocation of Dollarama to the Shoppers space would be a good idea. Of course it is also up to the tenant, but it seems like this would be a better space for them also.Agreed.
Very short term I think they could move Dollarama from the basement to where Shoppers was.
Don't want to burst many bubbles, but the only, ONLY, CAPX dollars that gets spent in receivership will almost always only pertain to life/safety matters, potential legal liabilities. You can bet that the 555-era parking garages aren't exactly paragons of engineering excellence.You know what? I'm still happy with this.

Like I said, I'm fine with that. I was worried it'd get completely neglected, so I'm glad that it'll at least be kept in good condition so that whoever buys it can focus their resources on executing their new vision, rather than playing catch up with maintenenceDon't want to burst many bubbles, but the only, ONLY, CAPX dollars that gets spent in receivership will almost always only pertain to life/safety matters, potential legal liabilities.

Yes, it is good to see the intent to maintain it. I wonder if applying for the permit now is may also be a way to facilitate or make it easier for new ownership to proceed with this.Like I said, I'm fine with that.

It would be my perspective that the parking structures at the NW corner of the overall project must be demolished as part of a truly comprehensive redevelopment. Replace with fully underground parking and construct above, akin to what you have at the Ice District. The life expectancy of those 555 parking structures can't be long, especially with the lack of proper upkeep they show. They're pretty ghetto. Not as bad as that Rice Howard way parkade mind you, but enough to cause my risk management mind to be frazzled.Like I said, I'm fine with that.
