I'm wondering if ECC will close down completely at some point in the future?
Heaven knows there's plenty of empty CRUs in neighboring buildings such as Manulife, Commerce Place, Scotia Place (or whatever it's called now), Telus/ATB, Bell Tower, the ICE District towers, the buildings adjacent to Churchill Square and on streets such as Rice Howard Way and the 4th St promenade. The food court tenants can relocate to the Commerce Place food court (McDs already has a location that's been closed since the pandemic), or to the empty food hall at Stantec. A&W was located in the old Greyhound terminal, so they can move to Stantec's main floor. RBC can relocate back to Manulife. ATB and the Telus kiosk can be handled at their namesake towers. Talbots, Purdy's, The Source, Boulevard, Infiniti Leather, Soft Moc, Ricki's, Accu-Search, Denim & Smith, Tim Hortons, the mobile kiosks - all can relocate to neighboring buildings. Craft Cafe next to the Landmark Theatre can take over Tres Carnales' vacated space. The Landmark Theatre can be replaced by a new IMAX cineplex on 101 St.
The pedway accesses to Manulife, Sandman Hotel and Central LRT can remain open. TD can also remain open since they're in the midst of a major renovation. The Shoppers in the east mall can also stay open but west mall Shoppers can close. CBC can also stay if they want.
The rest of the mall can be permanently closed. In its place, LaSalle can undergo a major redevelopment c/w mixed-use towers and permanently dispenses with its bunker-like mentality.
