CMLC should be the developer of this and absolutely NOT CSEC.
If CSEC develops this we will get Landsdowne or Ice District 2.0. Petsmarts, Movie theatres, Milestones, Joeys, bestbuys for all! Maybe if we're luck a BP's and Tony Romas. NO THANKS.
This should be created to have a east village, gastown or yaletown like vibe. A place where people want to go because it's cool and the arena just happens to be there. Not a place where suburbanites can feel right at home for a night on the town.
