Podcast: Lime Ridge Mall has been sold. Now what?
More than a few people in town were caught off guard by the
sale of Lime Ridge Mall
the other day. The fact it was sold was interesting, but it's more than that. The news got people thinking about the place and its future.
There's the mall itself. What changes might come with today's commercial climate? There had been plans for a massive development with condos and other refreshes to the mall under the previous ownership that could've helped with the city's housing crisis.
What happens
to those ideas now?
Of course, people can purchase stuff plenty of places, not just here. And there are condos elsewhere. So why does this really matter? The answer is that the sprawling property isn't just a bunch of stores. It's also Hamilton's largest taxpayer, which makes it rather important for the city.
Retail analyst Bruce Winder and Ward 7 Coun. Esther Pauls chime in on what might be to come.
This podcast explores issues about the city and stories of interest to those who call it home. Every week, Spectator columnist Scott Radley will dive into hot-button topics with newsmakers, explore stories with the reporters covering them, and chat with those who add to the fabric of this community.
Whether it's serious or lighthearted, Placeline Hamilton will keep you informed and engaged.
