It's also a really profitable parkade – yeah, mall is probably the lowest of its uses. To me it makes sense for MPI (or any gov dept/corp) to own their building such as this situation, so long as they are a significant tenant in it. If they're competing with private business for private sector leases on a large scale, not good, but in this case I believe MPI takes up a large portion of the building, so it makes sense.

If anything, the province should look shedding some other leases and moving more provincial departments into cityplace. Just like the City should be doing with the PSB tower..
