Never say never my friend. It wasnt too long ago (say 10 yrs ago) when places like square one and mapleview werent that much better than what jackson sq is now. For example one of square ones only anchor tenants was wal mart and mapleview's stores were nothing to write home about.
If an owner is willing to shell out the money for extensive renos (like sq one and mapleview) the high end stores will come, especially with all the condos under contruction and proposed in the downtown core. The anchor bar, nations fresh super market, and the works burger bar all saw potential in jackson sq. hopefully respectable retail stores will follow suit
Also i have to disagree that sq one caters to the middle class. Possibly in the past but it is currently undergoing extensive renos and has added stores such as Michael Kors, Zara, Coach, Harry Rosen, Hugo Boss, Aritizia. Interesting to note is the holt renfrew is relocating from sherway. Just goes to show how easy it is for fortunes of malls to turn around.
