It could be so much more, but part of it needs a cash injection. The mall needs more light. Subterranean tunnel malls are a thing of the past. Look at all the natural light in malls (Square One, Sherway, Yorkdale, Eaton Centre, even Limeridge).

Unfortunately that's just not possible with the design of it - esp with areas having skyscrapers like the hilton plopped on top, and that giant unused roooftop in question taking up the rest - there are skylights here and there but yeah itll never be super glassy like a regular mall - that's just not its design.. its more like the underground life toronto has leading UP to its mall.
But yeah it was a great idea - just executed so poorly - I still say make it into an arborium - just make it a place to relax with trees and exotic plants etc. Glass it all in and make it a retreat to wander through.. the one in gage park is AMAZING for that. There is so little nature downtown that I think injecting more green space would be great for peoples mental health.
