Where The Grass and Retail Won't Grow
Tuesday, July 31, 2007 | |
This is the view on the side and in front of the stripmall at Lawrence and Sheridan. There are also several vacant storefronts in this complex. Wouldn't a "Fed-Ex Kinkos" or a "Sprint Store" be nice in this location? We imagine that more businesses would move into this stripmall if it looked a little more inviting and a little less like "Death Valley" outside.
I was wondering....is it possible the current owner is letting leases run out to redevelop that property? Even the health center/offices has left. It'd be great to see a multi-story building at that corner instead of a parking lot.
Most of the homeless people don't have any use for a Fed-Ex/Kinkos.
What would be nice is to demoish the mall and put up 8 story or so condo with retail on the first floor. A 7-11 would be great.
