New Horizons Mall open... and empty
Saw this video of a guy who went out to the New Horizons Mall in Balzac. If you go to Cross Iron Mills or drive the QEII often you’ve undoubtedly seen this thing under construction. Well, it’s open for business... and it’s empty. No stores, no customers, no food joints... nothing. Just a bunch of ‘For Lease’ signs.
The video is a little long on the tooth, but you get the idea in the first minute or two.
So, what’s gone on out there? Is the whole thing a doomed failed experiment? I know they had some innovative new way of selling off the spaces, which would then be leased out, but it looks like nobody got a single one leased. I can’t imagine a space like that size has cheap operation costs. It looks like a disaster.
