With the state of retail generally and the state of retail downtown specifically, I have a hard time seeing retail being more than a tiny fraction of whatever ends up in there. Kind of like Cityplace, maybe just the bottom floor or two.
Maybe a couple of levels of parking in there too, like City Place. The parking could be used to placate suburban taxpayers. It's a solid building, it can hold some cars and you wouldn't even know it from the outside. Then the old parkade could be freed up for redevelopment. Exposed concrete doesn't last forever.
