Needs more cowbell…

or failing that, some height from a mid-rise hotel or residential tower. With our development land shortage, it seems so wasteful not to go multi-use, and higher. I hope there's a green roof up there.

A green roof is a good way for wasteful developers to atone for their sins!

King Square remains focused on sales and leasing. To help with this, they recently applied to the City of Markham for a zoning by-law amendment to allow for additional uses to accommodate a broader range of tenants.

A grocery store opened up as well as some other amenities. It seems like the plan is to build condos eventually and the mall will exist to serve them
