The fact that it's this dead even in the summer with the weather as great as it is now, and when you'd expect people to want to be out and about says a lot about mall/retail culture and shopping habits here.
Down the road, you'll find the mall at Metrotown packed - with people going there to hang out and also if for no other reason, just to cool down in the mall A/C and get out from the hot weather.
Same case at Crystal Mall close by.

I mean it's more of a residential development and not just an indoor/outdoor mall so that changes whatever you think about how they are dealing with their commercial offerings. If anything the more residents that move into Amazing Brentwood and neighbouring developments will stabilize the commercial component.
