Haven't actually heard any announcements about what will open there, but technically speaking, they will be at the refurbished portion of the Fortis building rather than Trump Tower itself.

The only store that I know of (so far) is a men's shop called Stefano Ricci. It will be the only one in Canada (there are only 2 in the US). It sells very expensive men's wear.

One other tenant is Equinox Gym but that's going to take the upper floor.

There could very well be more retail in addition to this!

I'm stoked to hear that!

Forgot about this place-Thanks to you all I'm going to check out the Richmond store in the next few weeks.

I assume that they'd have UK/Canadian zippers!!!
(i.e. for men, insert piece on the right and pull on the left)

It drives me nuts when I find a nice jacket and the zipper is US/unisex (which are opposite).

Apparently over by the food court. I should go to that end of the mall as the directory says there's a new Nintendo store near Toys R Us too.

Kit and Ace angered neighbours by eating up metered parking spaces for a valet parking service in Kits:

... but it's still advertised on their website:

osirisboy · #**9594** Posted **Dec 17, 2015, 11:09 PM**

How many spots in each location? Like two?

officedweller · #**9595** Posted **Dec 17, 2015, 11:41 PM**

The article said 1 spot, but I would expect 2 if the cars "pull in" .

Signage going up on Prada hoarding, Alberni and Thurlow. The utility poles can't go soon enough!

That Prada hoarding had been an urban blight for a few weeks now it's about time they cover it up with nice prints. By the way, this Prada store is huge compared to others around, and I believe it's 2 storeys?
