I'm not concerned with the specific tenants at Cityplace as I am with the overall proportions. Cityplace has two floors of retail which is a bit of a relic of the old days when it was connected to Eaton's, but large chunks of it has been converted to office and other uses. If you take out all of the office spaces and what not, it's basically down to one floor and a bit of retail which is about what I'd expect. I think any redevelopment at The Bay would be similar... maybe just retail on the main floor and that's about it. I can't see there being demand for much more than that.
