That is the point. Small regional malls are dying. Landowners are coming up with creative ways to inject life into these areas. Residents, workers, recreational activities.
I don't understand the fascination with condition space to do shopping, personally I like the elements. Look at the outlet mall in milton, very successful (even though I hate the concept). If you want conditioned space go to the mall.
Personally I would love if Fairview mall started completely from scratch and redeveloped like some of the malls in the GTA. I might actually go there. Until then I will stick to the quality of restaurant downtown and uptown and do most my shopping online.
It’s not just about the shopping. Many people want to get out of their apartment but aren’t in a state to deal with rain, snow, and cold.
I don’t understand why giving people the choice of staying inside or going outside is so controversial.
