You want to develop the Exchange? Fine. You want to develop the SHED? Okay. You want to develop the stretch of Portage around the U of W? It's being worked on. That's like 3 square miles! And people wonder why everything is completely half-assed. Pick a couple of things and do them right. Stop pretending like every bit of our sprawling downtown is strategic and sacrosanct development territory. It isn't. It never has been. That's why it's all derelict.

Gotta agree here. What are they supposed to put on the 2nd and 3rd floors exactly? There's already plenty of office space for rent downtown. Residential would be great but who wants to live in between Main and the rail line?
