What time is this press conference? Is it specific to this site - or in relation to an overall vision for the mall and surrounding area?

If ground breaking is set for this fall, and Daniels is part of the press conference, maybe they mean an overall vision, and the first phase of Oxford's plan is the property at Living Arts & Rathburn. Just speculation.

It also mentions a 'transit hub', but Mississauga has announced renovations to the existing CCTT. I hope this gets put on hold and we are actually getting something substantial.

I hope so. The franken-terminal really needs to be demolished and a do-over is in order.

This will also include this:
It was yesterday but it was a private press conference. It's for SQ1 and its parking lots.

This will be huge. 18,000 residential units.

Maybe cancelling the Hurontario LRT loop around Square One was a bit premature...

Really impressive. But what immediately comes to mind is whether all this can be realized without the employment to support 35,000 residences?
I am sure they'll be building office buildings too, but will the premium office space and premium tenants move to Mississauga when downtown Toronto is an option to them?

Press release says the first office building goes to market this spring.

If I were Mississauga, I would be asking for 3 key things here.
1. Funding for completing the LRT loop
2. Some form of affordable housing provision. Mississauga condos and rental rates are still relatively affordable so this isn't as pressing of an issue as in Toronto, but still an issue nonetheless.
3. Employment uses, which they seem to be generally covering already.
Those office buildings appear to be about 20 floors too, which would make them the tallest office buildings in the 905, depending if they get built before SmartCentre's new office block in the VMC.

For those of us who cannot read The Star article:

Colour me skeptical as all the residential buildings thus far have failed to create anything close to a pleasant "walkable" and vibrant "downtown", despite the promises. And with most of the in-demand retail still left in the mall, more nail salons, banks and Subways, will probably not provide a reason to linger.
BUT...it beats parking lots. And there is nothing wrong with a concerted effort to create something better. Fingers crossed.
