Yep. That's exactly what happened in Hamilton.
Body Shop, The Gap, HMV are just some names of companies who left very shortly after Eaton's left.
Le Chateau & La Senza are pretty much the only remaining Big Name stores left in the Hamilton Eaton Centre... My Bad, Hamilton "City" Centre![/QUOTE]
was a mess 10 yrs ago....30-40% vacant...now 10% and going strong...sales up, rents, up.....downtown Edmonton is back.
it has 4 anchors:
BAY, home outfitters, sportcheck, winners
i prefer this mall to any in the city and it is connected to the high end stuff like holt etc as well.
great future with the downtown pop tripling here since 1996 and gonna double again in 5-6 yrs.
