In terms of Kildonan Place. The mall was recently sold, which brings some fresh air into the possibility of development or expansion. Not sure what the track record is for the new owner in terms of new purchases and their expansion/renovations.

But it would seem they need to take a minute and think about the overall mall itself. Is an expansion or major reconfiguration feasible? Like the relocation of the decrepit movie theatre (which seems very expensive). What is the future of the current mall looking like. Are retailers (existing or new to Winnipeg) wanting space in the mall. Or is it always going to be a lower level of service than St. Vital for example.

If the mall were to undergo a major expansion, as in addition of another corridor or loop corridor, will the mall itself be at risk of financial collapse. IMO, KP needs to become similar to St. Vital. I would only assume that the owners would be allover this if it was feasible.
