Heritage? Would that be like the former Herigate Inn in Milton?

The reference was to the precast panels of the former Sears that are being saved as a heritage feature.

Ah, yes. They did save a couple of those. Apparently to be placed in some inconspicuous spot inside the buildings.
For the most part this project is faux-heritage, faux-industrial and faux-urban. It's kind of like Paris and New York in Las Vegas.

By the looks of it, most of the sub framing is up already, though I can't envision how the new layout is going to be, though it really looks like a lot of these new stores would have outside access.
It also looks like their starting work on the new section (which us to be the snow dump) that will be their soon.
Parking lot looks close to being finished off, in time for winter.

Any idea where this project is at? Hard to get a good view when driving past on highway 8

Thanks for the pictures. It seems to be coming along just fine.
RE: Fairview Park Mall - Grand Market District - Spokes - 12-09-2019
Progressing nicely.
Did anyone ever hear a target timeline?

Not sure how they would fit other retail into the original Sears footprint, but tbh I had been hoping for something different. Maybe a Yorkdale quality- anchor tenant is too much wishful thinking, but at least something new to the region would be a nice surprise. I also don't know if nine to ten months out is a realistic projection given the current stage of construction. Until the mall puts out a formal update I'm taking things with heavy grains of salt. None of it seems to suit the scope of the plans or the renders.

However I was working in the old Sears building (under urban behavior) up until they closed.
I know they started this project several months later than planned, and it sounded like the were eager to finish as quickly as possible. I haven't seen the updated plans given they are preserving some of the concrete facade and they weren't originally, but I would imagine from what I heard, that this portion of the Reno they would hope to have finished mid 2020.
I dont know much about the rest.

Sorry for the poor quality, but the weather was crappy, and I can't confirm or deny if the picture was taken while at a red light....
They also have a sign on the Cineplex side stating CF Fairview Park Commons.
My question is why would they erect signs saying CF Fairview Park as opposed to CF Grand Market District?
