The same is true for a lot of commercial spaces in residential buildings in other parts of the city. The Barrington Terrace ground floor retail was empty for a while, for example. Not sure if it has a tenant now.
It seems a bit wasteful but over the long term I could see these spaces filling up, and it is important to keep an inventory of commercial spaces along retail streets like Gottingen. It's probably not much of a loss because ground floor condo units fronting onto Gottingen would not be very desirable.
