Really? Thinking back to the size of the TriOS college+Carbon computing it seems to me that there is ample space for a bank branch and a Starbucks there.
Elevators, stairs, mechanical, multiple exits, the main entryway, increased outside space/sidewalk, exterior vehicle access improvements, ramps for internal parking, all internal parking footprint... it doesn't leave as much as you might think.
From what I can tell, the entrance closest to uHaul is the main entrance (given I can see elevators), but those doors also have many interact/visa logo stickers on them already. Currently, the entire King frontage seems to be set up as one space (though hardly any internal developments). It doesn't seem as big as you might think.
If, somehow, the ground floor was Scotiabank and Scotiabank alone (which sizing would tell me is possible), it would be a huge facepalm moment IMO, guaranteeing that 3/4 of the focal intersection in Kitchener is....pointless to 90%+ of people, and dead.
