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.
 
Hi,

detalumis and every one​

I'm back here to check for any more update with this shopping mall, if there's any new information please update with me, thank you every one!
 
Guang Ping, the latest news is Walmart has filed two building permits with the Town of Oakville to put a Walmart in where the old Target was, so the east side. If the Walmart goes in, then I am sure the rest of the mall will fill up very fast. The southwest can easily support shopping and it is very convenient for people up Third Line as they can take transit as well.
 
Not a big fan of Walmart, was hoping that this would end up as housing with the balance of the ‘L’ shaped property to be reworked, focusing on Metro, Shoppers, LCBO and less as an indoor mall. But, this is better than nothing, slightly. And no one can really complain as the property has been retail (Zellers etc) for 50 or more years.
