Though I am really looking forward to this (biased, since I live within walking distance lol), I do wish that this development would be something more innovative, and different from the usual big-box plazas we see, such as a mixed-use development. But since the property is already zoned for retail stores, I'm not sure Westdell would want to go through the entire zoning process from the start and redo the zoning applications.

However since council recently changed their minimum parking standards, I could see some of the space currently dedicated for parking swapped for more retail space, assuming there is the demand for extra retail.

Edited to add: also not sure if whether with the current zoning for the site, if the buildings could be taller than 1 storey, which would be nice. At Westdell's site at Fanshawe/Richmond they recently constructed a 3 storey retail/office building at the corner, and at their proposed Southdale/Col Talbot site, they have a 4s office building proposed right at the corner there as well.
