This and the large redevelopment of the shoppers world in Brampton have me thinking when is it kitchener/Waterloos turn?

Obviously both these communities are closer to Toronto and would theoretically feel the demand for intensification of land before us, but there are similarities between these two malls and the two in KW. mostly they are both on the new hurontario LRT line. Neither of the malls were struggling financially. Are Cadilac Fairview and Ivanhou Cambridge dropping the ball not coming up with a strategic 20yr+ redevelopment plan for the in KW malls? I would love to see either one turn into something like they are building at shoppers world. I will admit that I don't shop at either mall, I find traffic horrendous in both places and its a little too far on the lrt for me to justify. I prefer to do my shopping walking in the downtowns or online.
I think That the cambridge centre could also redevelop into a smaller version of these plans when/ if the lrt ever makes it way into cambridge.
CF has large plans for their Fairview Park Mall (as shown in a different thread). Not as massive as this, mind you, but as it stands we have limited space to develop (part of the new development includes new builds (apartments and condos) behind the mall off of Kingsway and across the street at the Best Buy/Cineplex property.
