There isn't. Look at the renders..
Now they have to convince target to move their head offices here from Mississauga.

i.e. convince them to pay more rent for no justfiable reason. Good luck with that.
Any Target store that opens in downtown will almost certainly use their recent City Target concept.Depressing. I suppose it will be ok as long as there is NO surface parking
The thing is, it's possible to create a good pedestrian experience in addition to having a Target/other big box and Shoppers-type stores as the program; but as much as I love the firm, I don't trust aA to create an interesting pedestrian experience here.
I live in the Southcore area... and I won't lie, this Target will be very convenient if I still live here at the time it opens. But simultaneously, I'm disappointed by this area's pedestrian experience. Walking around Queen Street West is such an intriguing, always-interesting experience and there are so many great shops, variations in buildings and types of architecture, alleyways with interesting graffiti. Of course, much of this wouldn't suit the Harbourfront area (graffiti, older buildings) today, but a variation in facades and materials, and mature trees and interesting landscaping are all things that would help a lot. Also, SHORTER facades. Not long expanses of glass (as slick and attractive as that can be!) and endless facades that are not broken up or articulated for those who walk past them numerous times per day.
Yea Ok ... using that logic no one should locate downtown ... what a silly comment ...
Oh and just so you know, their American HQ is in downtown Minneapolis.
You think MLS is fun to walk through? I think it's awfully sterile and spaced-out and empty feeling. Infinity, however does have lots of retail.
+1 as someone who lives in the core I think this is great. Despite how much I enjoy shopping on Queen West it will be great to have a bargain department store close for the every day things I need. To me the fact that stores like this are moving downtown is a great sign that residential numbers have reached the critical mass necessary to support large retail.Gee, whats not good about having a Target at that retail deadzone![]()
What I mean is Target's Canadian Head Office doesn't need to be downtown. First, they are just a puppet organization managed from the U.S. and second, they are a cluster of buyers travelling more than office work so they have a much greater need to be near the airport than downtown. So why pay the additional rent just to get caught in one of the worst traffic jams in the world?
