That mall is the ugliest most out of place thing ever and it is one of the most hideous use of brick I have ever seen, one that is replicated across the dozens of such malls built across Canada by the same group of people, all of them downtown, inward looking, undersized and struggling.
I have always questioned the reasoning behind the stores/shops not facing out to the street instead of inside the mall. When walking along Frederick, all you see is brick and couple of service doors.
It was not surprising at the time - as an indoor mall, it's intention was to draw people in from the street, not to provide streetfront shopping. I doubt it would be done the same way today.
