They had the same light stands up on the mezzanine level during the winter (believe there were different colours too) and they were removed in Spring. You can see the movable light stands in your photos.

Really wish they would’ve incorporated permanent lighting all year round.

Update:

Saw the sign with more details on this season’s lighting

October 21: Really popping in this afternoon's sun. Also - setting up for a major event this evening.

having visited The Well a few times, here are some negative thoughts:
1) the interior is way too dark - even on sunny days
2) the upper retail level gets very little foot traffic - wouldn't be surprised if many of those stores close
3) not sure how the semi-open design will work with a really cold winter. We had a mild winter last year, and it will be interesting to see how much people like this design when we have -15 degree weather

^Stores facing the street do well during the winter so why wouldn’t these?

Do they though? I don't have data to prove/disprove that, but my sense is that a lot of businesses suffer in the winter months compared to fully enclosed malls

I only have anecdotal evidence from when I worked in a mall kiosk, but after Christmas every year, the place would be empty until March, so not sure it's the weather that's the main reason for the cold winter sales slump.
