Spirit Halloween has it leased for the upcoming season and may extend into Xmas. Have heard chatter that Regent has secured a permanent tenant for that space for the new year but nothing to report at this time

For now. The NBex Grounds PAC approval has buildings allowed to go up to 15 storeys in that area.

I saw on my way home last night that the pavement on the old ReCar lot(corner of Bishop and Hanwell) was all removed. Anybody know if this is site prep for another condo development or something else?

Resharing from the Big NB Malls thread: Miniso is now open at Regent Mall.

Now 3 stores in the Regent Mall with the same vibe with one more (Mind Games) on the way. No way that's sustainable. Somethings gotta give.

MartinMax
YOYOSO
MINISO
Mind Games

MindGames seems more aimed at the EBGames crowd than the MimiSo crowd. So it probably has a better chance of surviving, especially with TRU gone.

MartinMax feels like it will probably be the first to fall; it doesn't seem to have any recognition behind it like the other 3 chains have. It feels like it arrived without much fan faire and just 'exists'.

If anything, I'd say "Showcase" also plays in similar sales space as those other chains, though it's been around forever so it should be able to survive somehow.

Old house between Union and the Northside Trail in St. Mary's Ferry has been torn down, to make room for an apartment building & parking lot I believe. Mixed feelings on that one. I remember the backyard being a big dump, but it always hurts seeing shattered brick from an old building.

That bit of Union is rather dense and compact now, vertically and horizontally. A unique bit of the city, honestly.

Regent mall got approval to put in 8 new Tesla Superchargers. They will allow non-teslas to charge there.

There's site prep going on there now.

There's also site prep happening at 551 Clements Drive which is approved for two 34 unit apartment buildings.

Also, the foundation is in place for a large apartment building at the corner of DeMerchant and Cuffman.

The old ReCar was demolished this week and they’re excavating the site now. Anybody know what’s being built here? I haven’t seen anything in the PAC, but I’ll assume another condo development.
