So after a few years of not much happening, we should finally expect to see quite a bit of activity soon?

That's what I was told.

 

[Avenuer]

That's what I was told.

Bless, opening up the podium to the street more, if that is still the plan, will do wonders, especially with the Valley Line running now.

 

[Greenspace]

Renos to podium, but also CWB lease also contingent on new retail. So we'll see what they do.

It's now past the halfway point of January 2024 and they're still not open yet.

Was told they are waiting on equipment from Italy, but there were people in a few weeks back.

I would have asked someone at the popup kiosk when their permanent location will finally open but they appear to be closed.

They finally updated their signage for ya

 

[Gronk!]

Thanks for the update, @northlands - it should take them another year until they open.

 

[David A]

The new signage looks nice and even has drawings. Maybe they felt they needed a bit more to support credibility given the signage for 2023 opening has not been accurate.

Is this the long awaited $30 million renovation?

 

[buildings]

^^ "end of trip facility"....they're adding a mortuary?

 

[Avenuer]

Is this the long awaited $30 million renovation?

Yes (CWB's new head office retail branch will be in the NE corner kitty corner from TD Bank).

 

[IanO]

Expected, but yet another major key retail CRU opportunity lost.

 

[Kosy123]

Honestly it’s a bit of a bummer but anything right now is a massive improvement over the concrete facade. I thought that there was a key retail anchor that was accompanying WCB’s move or is that in a different corner?
