A very ambitious proposal to say the least.
However, I am somewhere between an optimist and a realist
If this could ever come to fruition, This would be a huge tourism draw and a way to keep a fair portion of people in Manitoba spending money here vs. elsewhere.
I also know when The Ghermezian family first built West Edmonton Mall, opened 35 years ago, Edmonton had less than our population now boasts.
They also built Mall of America and many others.
West Edmonton Mall has a current value of near 1 Billion CAD.
I recall the days at outing hearing people say that MTS Centre will flop and Jets will never return etc... True North will never happen..
Well, all and hopefully SKyCiy will show them we are changing for the better.
So, time will tell.
Dream Big or stay small minded.
