This stabilized, grocery-anchored, enclosed mall is a 352,448 square foot retail complex and is the dominant shopping centre in Prince Edward Island. It is located on 32 acres in the heart of Prince Edward Island’s busiest retail node with future multi-family development opportunities of up to 300 units. The retail portion of the property will continue to be managed by RioCan after closing, with the future residential project being managed by Killam. This purchase will establish Killam’s second joint venture with RioCan REIT and the acquisition is expected to close on May 17, 2019."

Very interesting! About 10-15 years ago the owner of the mall had a plan to demolish the old liquor store (now a dollar store) and was planning to rebuild with multiple levels of apartments over new retail space. There are current apartments up there, but they haven’t been rented out for years. I’d imagine this is Killams plan. With current zoning, they can build up 5 stories without variance.
