King Square Commercial Phase 1, located on Woodbine Avenue (north of 16th Avenue) in Markham, is a mature project with all approvals, sales and financing in place. This mixed use project is being developed in three phases. The first phase consists of over 340,000 GFA in a three-storey Asian themed commercial, retail and convention centre complex. This phase includes 1,400 parking spaces and a landscaped green roof on approximately four acres of land. Phase 1 launched in 2011 and approximately 65% of the building has been sold with commitments from several major retailers and restaurants.

or failing that, some height from a mid-rise hotel or residential tower. With our development land shortage, it seems so wasteful not to go multi-use, and higher. I hope there's a green roof up there.

A green roof is a good way for wasteful developers to atone for their sins!

King Square remains focused on sales and leasing. To help with this, they recently applied to the City of Markham for a zoning by-law amendment to allow for additional uses to accommodate a broader range of tenants.

A grocery store opened up as well as some other amenities. It seems like the plan is to build condos eventually and the mall will exist to serve them
 
Most of the office units are in the final stages of renovation, at least from what I could see.

Seems that as of now, only the supermarket and the orthodontist on the 3rd floor is getting any significant traffic.
 
Not surprising. The Asian mall concept has already passed its peak for a while now. Other newish malls up in the Agincourt and Markham area like Splendid China Mall and Langham Square are lukewarm at best in terms of success. But are generally still seen as flops. For the latter, it's mostly anchored by a T&T store. Even Pacific Mall has declined a bit, and its main attraction now is the upstairs foodcourt. With Remington Centre fiasco next doors, that swath of barren land will sit vacant for the foreseeable future as the ship has sailed for any prospects and momentum there.

The main Asian mall that is relatively thriving is First Markham Place. Along with strip mall/plazas like New Kennedy Place and various others that are restaurant, eatery, bubble tea shop focused instead of merchandise retail.
