The mall usually only opens P2 during peak shopping times in December, they have a gate that blocks it the rest of the year. So if you want to check it out now's your time. There used to be a car wash down there too during the mall's short heyday.

True say, but isn't that underground pretty old by now? Is it still structurally sound and able to withstand all the construction around it?.
I have done service work on a large complex in Waterloo called the Barrel Yards. It is a massive high rise development that's been in the works for a while now. There is 2 28 story towers, 3 22 story towers, 1 18 story tower, a hotel, and more to be built.
The parking garage is absolutey massive, with 2 underground levels. I'd picture a development like this for Westmount instead, keeping the already separated movie Theatre and Asian Market.
