It's the kind of thing architects draw on paper and will look cool from a drone, but has no real function. I think all pedestrian traffic will be between the building and the LRT stop, and then maybe from the LRT stop to the corner of King/Victoria. Who needs to walk out into that vast expanse of nothingness, and for what purpose?
I think they should block out that portion of land and put it up for sale, let a private developer put a mixed use tower up there.
Plazas can be useful or they can be useless. The Uptown Town Square did hire a programmer a few years ago to have events at that space. I don't know about this one yet. I guess it depends on the amenities in part.
