It'll be interesting to see what these new developments bring. Lots of big footprint developments in a ~1km radius of this particular development, which typically means big bills for retail space.
I don't see the "old" Fairview (retail side of it that is) going away any time soon. Seems those spots are busy as always and there's been a few new inclusions to the neighbourhood that add to the vibrancy.
Would love to see a couple coffee shops though :-)
