Can't wait til they convert the entire mall into a parkade

AND shoppers carries presidents choice now! Hopefully they will have my blue menu vegetarian chicken fingers so I won't have to go far when I move back downtown! Also, what was the new brand moving into J22? I was trying to tell my friend about it but couldn't remember... It's a version of planet organic or something that's already in Calgary?

[GreenSPACE]

^I think it's called Fresh or something like that. New P.O. concept. Will have full deli, bistro.

Shoppers on Jasper & 104 will probably carry a selection of fresh and frozen foods.

It's a big start.

[Coldrsx]

^small start, but significant.

[240glt]

^ big start. Bigger than you know

[Coldrsx]

^Fair enough, please make me overwhelmed Oxford.

[Hallsy's Toupee]

I presume "big start" means there will be more work on City Centre than what's listed in the permit?

Yes, Yes I am impressed.

[GreenSPACE]

Given the amount of square footage being reno'd, and the fact that quite a few retailers will have to be shuffled around, I think the impact of these changes will be more apparent than some think.

[Hallsy's Toupee]

Given the loss of more retail to parking, it better be damn impressive

[Airboy]

The third floor comes back to life though. Its been relatively dead for quite a while. And with the food court now on the third level the light will be quite nice.

[Coldrsx]

^concur, much better placement.

Think of it this way Hallsy. If chronic vacancies above grade can be activated, the loss of basement retail spaces should be compensated for, and then some

[Hallsy's Toupee]

I figured that those chronic vacancies would likely get filled once the arena opens - or was that wishful thinking?
Anyway - any word on an official unveiling of their plans?
