Victoria's Eaton's/Bay Centre had some tough years and the top floor is indeed a misfit, but the mall itself seems to be doing very well now. I was in there during the week maybe a month ago and the place was packed. Could the recent surge in downtown condo construction be the reason? Time will tell, I suppose.
As far as aesthetics those malls are really quite nice...maybe people just like their malls to all be on one or two floors?
