Another major KW development that is currently in progress is the revitalization of Fairview Park Mall, into the new "Grand Market District"
Originally the proposal consisted of two phases. Redevelopment of the former Sears building and construction of two new mixed use/office buildings along Fairway Road.
The second phase was then the addition of new condo towers along Kingsway drive.
It looks as though plans may have changed due to the pandemic however, possibly with more focus on the residential components, so it's not 100% clear what's going on here.
However here's the site:

Here are the renderings for the recladding of the sears building plus the additional buildings along Fairway.
And some photos taken by me today.
Several pictures of the faux smoke stack or the faux-stack as I call it.
Construction still underway on the one side
The complete reclad former Sears frontage
The heritage facade retention along the one side of the building
Faux water tower
Walmart recladding
Additionally the parking lot for the second "phase" of phase one, the new buildings near Fairway Rd, is currently blocked off to traffic but not a whole lot else happening there yet.
