I'm a little perplexed by the thought that lower income levels in the surrounding areas would entail shutting down a mall in the first place. Poor people spend money too.

I would agree that the east and west ends of Ottawa are very similar in terms of how many affluent, middle class and poorer areas they have.

Overall, I believe that the west end is probably slightly more affluent on average, but the difference is not really that significant.

I think St-Laurent does fine and agree with the advantages stated above, but Bayshore is advantaged in one way because two huge suburbs close to it (Kanata and Barrhaven) do not have enclosed malls with department stores, whereas Orleans (in St-Laurent's catchment area) does. This siphons off potential customers from St-Laurent.

As for Riverside South, it is not that big yet, but once it grows and that bridge over the Rideau opens, I suspect people there will go to Bayshore more than they do at the moment.

Is that much retail space even necessary there? Hazeldean is close by, and the Kanata/Stittsville area will be well-served by then. I would say maybe 1/5 of the amount, for community purposes, is all that is needed in that area.

Cre47 · #**330** Posted **Apr 4, 2012, 10:56 PM**

As long as the Conservatives are in power, I think the retail area will help alleviate the pain from the federal budget.

Though some shopping centers are in decline, well in Hull they will lose the Zellers in January 2013.

^It runs through Arcadia (requisite non-place-specific generic name of Minto's new development in Kanata near Scotiabank Place).

Nowhere, in other words?

Yeah, I'm not likely to ever set foot anywhere near the place, thereby disproving the assertion that "everyone in the city" will shop there! :]

this is from an industry magazine, forget which one

Huntmar is between the Corel Center (Scotiabank Place) and the Palladium auto park. Outlet mall will be North directly over the Queensway on the West side.

Could be Huntmar Crescent, Huntmar Acres, or Huntmar Mews for all I know. Aucune idée.

Huntmar is on the boundary between the old townships of Huntley and March. Thus, the mash-up name. Makes me wonder why this principle wasn't applied elsewhere in the region. Why, for instance is there no Gloucumberland St. (instead of Champlain)? Seems very short-sighted. Or the very catchy sounding Goulata Drive? Nepideau, Glousgoode, Vancliffe Park?

Toronto developers caught on quite early to the stitch-together-your-own-monster game and began doing this with anything built at an intersection of two major streets. St. Clair + Brimley = Brimclair. I'm surprised none of the developers in Barrhaven used Jockstrand; who wouldn't want to live/shop there? Or Pink Mountain, Aylmer. St. Paiement, Gatineau? Or the very band-name sounding Trim 174 in Orleans? Je plaisante.

"Rich Island," new luxury condos in Westboro?

For real street names there is also Russland Road, which is between Russell and Cumberland

There is a recreation centre in Aylmer called Aydelu: Aylmer, Deschênes, Lucerne...

The mid-rise office building on the NW corner of Elgin and Lisgar used to be cutely-named "The Elgar", now I guess its all grown up, so it just goes the street address.
