The long-range redevelopment of the site envisions a well-connected, mixed-use Town Centre with a large degree of public amenity, various housing types, commercial opportunities, community services, parks and public space, all within immediate walking distance of the local community. The main public spaces defining the Town Centre include the 1 acre park along the West side of the site and the central public plaza, flanked by the commercial High Street and “Hub’ building on the North, and smaller scale mixed-use commercial buildings on the East and West.

The incremental phasing of the plan is determined by a strategic analysis of core tenants’ leases, parcel sizing, and general ‘decanting’ of the site to optimize growth while minimizing disruption to the existing mall and surrounding uses. As development of the Masterplan progresses, the large site will slowly, but eventually be knitted into the surrounding street pattern. Connectivity to and through the site will be greatly improved. Streets of different character and function will emerge including a new east-west “High” Street (shopping street), smaller neighborhood streets with smaller local shops, residential at-grade, and a pedestrian lane. Higher density residential towers are organized toward the centre and east of the site, with lower forms stepping down to the to the existing residential neighborhoods to the west.
