The foodcourt is a madhouse particularly over the lunch hour. Rexall is always lined up at least 6 deep with 3 or 4 cashiers open. That is how cityplace is surviving.
But since retail is failing there and has been for years, as much as TNS looks amazing, the amount of new retail space in there is concerning. What will make retail more successful one block over to the west?
Maybe if retail can succeed at TNS it will bleed over to cityplace, but not until that happens. In the meantime, if some new retail was going to come downtown, why on earth would they locate in cityplace when there's a brand new game in town next door?
Time will tell I suppose.
