While the TD news is great for Moncton, I really hope they don't stay in the mall for long. That is NOT the type of development you want to see on the ground floor of a major mall. (Now if Champlain Place had more stories and the Centre was in the upper floors, that would be fine)

IMHO, I think the mall, the current retailers as well as future employees of the TD Corporate Centre would totally disagree with your "NOT the type of development you want" comment. I think it is a total win/win for the parties involved and probably the future of shopping malls with a mix of retail and commercial regardless of whether its on the ground floor or not.
