A bank...disappointing, but it makes sense as I'm sure the rent in such a place is going to be very high. I just wish we would have more ground floor retail downtown. A bank is only ever going to draw in a tiny amount of people who use that particular bank and that branch, and nobody else will ever set food in the building. Except maybe the homeless in winter.

Specifically what kind of retail do you think would be viable in this location?

IMO DTK is still far from saturation with restaurants, though right now obviously isn't the ideal time for them. But I definitely think they'd be viable in this location.

As someone that works in DTK I'd like to see a Canada Computers location here, for all the times at work we need some random cable and Amazon next day isn't fast enough. I suspect there's enough tech companies in DTK to keep them viable, though just a small location (like they have in downtown Toronto).

Over the next few years, as all the currently under construction condos are completed, basically any service/retail needed by people living nearby will likely be viable.
