I'm wondering where this is setting up. It doesn't sound like the type of thing that would be part of Spanish Gates, but at this point, I'd take any good news on that development.
Edit: After seeing the design, it looks like something that would set up on Kings Rd in either the old Keddy's lot or the lot beside Moxham Apartments. It's definitely suburban in design, so I guess the other option to be likely would be SPAR Rd power centre (expanding again soon from what I hear). I wouldn't want to see this design downtown, though the increased pedestrian traffic downtown would obviously be a benefit.
