Fairview Park Mall - Grand Market District

Cambridge is looking for a safe injection site that wont impact any of their downtown's....

So the inside of the tower will be hollow or does the whole thing serve a purpose (other than aesthetics)?  Somebody will surely climb up to find out.

An on site Microbrewery could use it to brew beer?

I am going to post this report here. It highlights the top earning malls per sq.ft. It also talks about most of the malls in Canada that are going through a complete redevelopment. Disappointed that there are not concrete plans for Conestoga mall yet considering the access to rapid transit. I also don't think the " grand Market District" was that well thought out compared to others on the list, but at least it is something.

Interesting link they had regarding how the "Apple" store seems to help by $100/sqf in those locations.

It is interesting that the report analyses the most successful malls, but doesn't discuss the failing malls and what they are doing wrong.

It doesn't touch on why certain malls are failing. I am sure there are lots of studies on that.  It does however show how some dying malls are being proactive. Making use of their large swath of land in desirable cities, by converting parking lots into mixed use towers, even tearing down existing structures and starting from scratch with a better more modern vision for the land (cloverdale, Dufferin, and Galleria malls to name a few)  or even the Golden mile which reminds me a lot of  fairway road. Its not that all these malls dying (sherway, Yorkdale) its that there is an opportunity to ensure these malls keep up with the times (and cash in on the ongoing building boom) to ensure they continue to be a commercial destination in the future.

Judging by the "CF Grand Market District" signage that was prominent in the renderings, I am assuming that branding isn't going to stick....

Although it would cost them a bit more, I wouldn't be surprised if they did a big "rebranding" reveal when the project is done. Extra hype and fanfare.

It could just as likely go either way for me, but I hope your hunch is right.

I thought they would rebrand for sure. If they wanted to separate their Fairview Mall location from their Fairview Park location now is the perfect time.

Fairview Mall and Fairview Park are different locations?  What happened to Fairview Park Mall?
