^Are you saying that RRC expansion has slowed down? Because they built the Paterson GlobalFoods Institute, and now they're building a big new building immediately north of the Roblin Centre as we speak.

The Boyce Lofts of Ross are almost completely full now, a lot of Skip employees live in there. I'm sure the developers will start looking to do more right around there, this project seems to have been a slam dunk. It's fantastic.

Also, while there's obviously lots of empty lots in Chinatown, the restaurants and shops that are there (and there's quite a few) are busy all the time. That bakery is incredible.

I don't find it that crazy to imagine a fairly quick "turnaround" if we can get one or two solid mixed-use developments in the area. The Dynasty building is designed perfectly from the sidewalk, and most of the units are occupied already. Forthcoming Marketlands developments and somehow getting a better streetfront presence out of 185 King street, would make a huge difference.
