If anything, it took a few months of hindsight, and 32 years of regret about the whole Portage Place project being a bust. The idea of putting something shiny that looked like it belonged in the suburbs somewhere, and placing it in the middle of downtown Winnipeg, wasn't such a good idea at all.
Perhaps if they added residential towers on those pads, and do a complete renovation of the whole mall by bringing it into the 21st century, and turn it into its own village, maybe it could finally see itself turn around. Maybe.
So far, nobody has the balls to tackle Portage Place. Even if these new owners have legit plans, they need to put their money where their mouth is.
