Yeah as far as I can tell the kiwanis building and the fred douglas building are both operated by the fred douglas society as 55+ communities and sit on separate real estate from the rest of the place promenade residential complex. they both seem like they're in way better condition than the other buildings in the area and actually look pretty nice.
400, 410, and 420 place promenade are all on the same piece of real estate and all sit on top of that second parkade. then 44 place promenade seems to be almost part of the mall building itself.
actually i never thought of that myself, but when the mall/bay/etons/skywalk/etc. were firing on all cylinders it really would have been an ideal place to live as a senior.
