In terms of the buildings, I'm not sure who actually built their other stuff. I don't know if Shindico owns it or someone else. If Shindico themselves will own these buildings, I hold zero hope. If someone else just buys the land and owns the buildings (which seems like it may be the case) there is hope. But based on the general layout and such, it will be very Park City Commons like. Retail out front, transition to residential in the back. Which from architecture, urbanism point of view is not that great. But it does have some density. Both next to industrial type places.

Paddington Station auto compound is part of the only CN/CPKC interchange point in Winnipeg. It makes it easier for all the car hauling companies (Hansen, Key West, Searail etc) to have one central point for vehicle pickup and delivery to the railways.
I remember many years (50+) ago there was a new car rail compound just off Mission by Plinquet but I can't remember if it was served by CN or CP.
