They are not planning any, unfortunately. Charlesfort has not been much of a mixed-use type of developer even though they haven't lacked the opportunity (Glasgow on Bronson, come on down!) The Gardens' Tower II had a small retail space carved out of its ground floor, it was shown as such on the floor plans, but if you walk by it today you can see that the space is shuttered and used for something else. The Continental on Richmond Road has the same mention of retail space on the ground floor - a tiny speck of a store that may end up never being a store but rather a guest suite or something like it.
For all his beautiful buildings that is the biggest of Charlesfort's shortcomings.
