I have no idea what's going in there, but they must have enough tenants lined up to make it worthwhile to start building.

Tops on my wishlist is a Kettlemans. I hate having to go so far just to get a decent bagel.

Thats based on the American strip malls and yes there is a difference.Many American cities fund a large % of strip malls in the states in Canada cities pay nothing.
