Hi : Dear

I want to know: what is the next news for this project ?

Thank you

That is very bad idea to separate the mall from the centre, it is stupid design, think about the winter, and think about the customer who will keep walking to another side for winners or metro, this design want to cut off the people coming to the mall, will be no more business in the mall, so the mall will be close in the future, then the owner can be build up more townhouse or new retirement home.......
Who live in that area will be no more shopping center to go......
I think this is they are goal.

Guang Ping, SmartCentres is not a good owner. They basically won't rent the units to people and are destroying it on purpose. Then they claim that there is no need to have any local shopping in the area. The new plan is to have 100 townhouses and no retirement home and basically turn it into a 100% car centric strip mall. Right now it is the only shopping in Oakville where a bus stops at the front door. So now we have zero where pedestrians do not have to walk across a parking lot and wait in the cold. And yes, Canada is cold. Think about it, the area is surrounded by expensive homes and yet nobody wants shopping? It used to be a full neighbourhood mall, where high school students walked at lunch and seniors could be indoors and even had a Santa Claus during the holidays. Nobody wants that according to SmartCentres. As soon as they rebuild as a strip mall and townhouses, all of a sudden, amazingly every unit will be full. As it is now they say we don't even need a coffee shop in the southwest.
