Supposedly, the acquifer prevented them form meeting the [underground] parking requirements of the bigger 2 storey
enclosed mall.
From the renderings, the 2 storey spaces shown could be podium retail or even office space, so I'm not sure how the 2 storey
(and taller) spaces shown in the renderings fit into the overall project, but I don't think it'll be a full-on 2 storey mall corridor.
i.e. this space below appears to be formed by the edges of podiums:

The 2nd storey (podium) spaces on the left appear to be offices:

said that Hudson's Bay store would be staying in its existing location due to its current lease terms.
