By far the most impactful change, however, would be the levelling and grand redevelopment of the trade mart block into some sort of public event space / plaza with developments bordering it. Something like Avenue des Canadiens in Montreal.

Someone on here mentioned a while back that Crombie is planning
a similar redevelopment of the trademark building where they keep the podium and put 3-4 towers on top. Which has zoning for 40 stories IIRC. I wonder if they’re treating this build as a trial for a larger scale on the trademark.
