General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[KevinL]

I'm not sure I see the connection between the Stantec office space and the retail portion of the mall, specifically its redevelopment. What am I missing?

Right now, walking onto the ground floor of the retail space you see massive openings to bring the atrium light to Stantec's basement garden area (surrounded by their office space). Nice as the garden is, I'd prefer to see the ground floor made into a solid whole and completely reconfigured to give better layout to retail space and hopefully make it street-facing (at least along Frederick). Stantec's departure would allow this to go forward, and I hope the mall's owners are considering it.
