While I think you're probably right about the Rideau Centre, maybe not, as they will be in the same mall in Sherway Gardens, Pacific Centre and eventually in Yorkdale too. In the US it is not uncommon for many luxury department stores to be in the same mall, and let's not forget, Rideau Centre is a very very very strong retail centre, #10 in North America according to retail-insider.com ... so only time will tell on that one.
Alternatively, 240 Sparks has been going through some major renovations and I believe a private management company is now doing the leasing, not PWGSC, so it may well turn around.
