😆 The whole mall was actually pretty busy and lively and the food court was full and buzzing. I just avoided photographing people. The Bay is now an outlet clearance place, so it looks bleak in some spots but lots of good deals.
 
I've been to Eglinton Square once. Despite its dowdy interiors, it's not too far from my wheelhouse. Having grown up with the Galleria and Dufferin Mall, and spending my fair share of time at Bridlewood Mall. You can also group in East York Town Centre, Gerrard Square, etc to this strata of malls. These type of spaces offer a reasonable opportunity for independent shops among mom and pops style ownership and ethnic communities. It also provides a community centre of sorts for seniors and people of different walks of life in these areas across the city.

The updated Project Data sheet tells us that Kingsett will continue its tradition of non-building into the immediate future w/tenure still listed a condo here.
 
Would I be wrong to suggest the city expedite and incentivize these mall projects in whichever way possible? Especially Eglinton Square? They already have potential to become villages with strong community and I’m kinda desperate to see this proven out. I’m irritated this was never considered with Warden Woods,
 
The only way something gets built is if the condo market improves (at least another 3-5 years), or switching to rental. The "developer" here is free to switch to rental and take advantage of current incentives. Other than that there's nothing the city can, or should, do.
