In terms of airplane use, yes because bombardier is ceasing operations in 2022. They are discussing right now interim uses for the runway - opening it up fully year-round for pedestrians and events in a couple years time.
One million square feet - Wow. If you compare that size to existing studios owned by hackman that is crazy, as well as to the 800,000 sq ft studio city in Markham. As a film buff I am going crazy.

I agree, I just hope it looks visually attractive though. There could be numerous potential for the canal streets/restaurants too which I haven't heard too much about, something in between Copenhagen's Nyhavn, Museum Island in Berlin and Amsterdam would be nice for Toronto.
This comment aged well, it has become more popular and widespread. Some guy did a ted talk on it actually, I really hope it will continue and evolve.
It's super interesting how MLE and MTE have developed alongside each other.
I really hope that the creative industries can have significant employment space. I know that much needed 'cultural space' is going to be implemented, but it would be cool to know what that means, a lot of people in the arts industries don't use the conventional 'office' model. Artists are...
