No major retail expansions planned but like was mentioned before the Sears re-development if it happens any time soon will be massive.
There's always the ability to land a 4th metrotower office building there but given the beating they took on 3 I wouldn't expect it any time soon.

The current BBY hospital site would make sense to rezone to residential and that's it.

I wouldn't be upset to see a 1/4 residential 3/4 employment mix here. Some housing next to BCIT would be very successful and make for a more vibrant 24 hour development.
