With the issues in Portage Place, marketability of the site could be a challenge. Selling $350,000 condos (or whatever the price would be) on top of the PP food court might not seem like the most enticing purchase when there are more pleasant locales downtown. The same challenges would exist for hotel and office development too.

Then again, Glasshouse is only a block away and that sold well, so who knows.
