The problem (well not the only one but....) with the Streetside and Sunstone project was the provision from the province to add a residential and commercial component to the parkade. I heard about the stages as it was being developed and they just couldn't make the numbers work budget wise. Before it fell apart it was huge, I heard very expensive $30 - $50 million and possibly 10 to 20 storeys tall. It was much more that just a parkade.
It will likely now result in just that, a parkade for about 400-500 vehicles.
