PS: That's not to mention the scheme which will see the Union Station turned into a large mall either.
Thats news to me... it's a start at least
But nonetheless, the thing about shopping is, when there's more shops in a concentrated area, it creates a 'larger gravity' for shoppers to come there. Can never be enough retail really, especially in such an urbanized area such as the downtown core. If you look at Vegas and Dubai, people go there specifically to shop. Look at Manhattan, endless shops, Oxford street in London same thing, Melrose and Rodeo in LA, Same thing. South Beach Miami, Kowloon in Hong Kong. Melbourne and Sydney have more shops. Toronto is behind all of these places. I think Vancouver has more retail as well.
Anyways, just my point of view, nobody has to agree.
