Downtown grocery store

[jammer139]

Number of issues with a full scale grocery store in downtown:


Not enough population density to support it. Although if the residential tower building boom continues and we can add 5000+ residents that will help alot.


We already have the Covent Market and Shoppers although not a full grocery.


Where you see full grocery stores they like having parking. Real challenge downtown. You find full grocery stores in Toronto downtown at subway stations and they often do not have parking. But they have massively higher density of people. London does not have that downtown.


Having said that a full grocery might work years from now as part of a large residential project located in the podium base and include parking as part of it. Will need to see many more high rise towers to increase residential densities before hand.



Ayerswood towers at Clarence and King, Wellington at York surface parking lots. East of convention centre parking lot.
