I'm interested to see who bought the site as well.

It's not too bad, that's 10,000sqft of retail space and with most small downtown retail spaces being around 2000sqft that means there's room for 5 businesses of that size. Corktown looks to have a bit more than 10,000sqft, but not much more, maybe 18,000sqft. So about half. But I know staff didn't even want retail along John St because of the speeds of cars coming down the mountain. Which I disagree with, because cars shouldn't be flying in the downtown anyway.
