pweekenqer maxa1987 ricfoeiitnbhrtmderway by denise mcdonald stouffvilles new enclosed mall will provide a unique opportunity for firsttime merchants to launch their businesses in a strategical lylocated area creating a small business can be a tough endeavor for the first year says royal lepage sales representative john dunlop its especially hard when that business has to compete against a major chain but with a complex this size you dont usually see a lot of major stores according to mr dunlop the 55000 square foot complex sche duled for completion in septem ber is now officially under way after the five acre parcel on hwy 47 and palmwood gate directly adjacent to betz pools lay dor mant for some time now that the foundation is in and the girders scheduled to go up within the next two weeks people can actually visualize were going ahead with the project rather than just having seen a sign sit ting there for over a year he says having joined the project only eight months ago mr

anchor if the complex is to be finished on target he says mr dunlop adds mr fisico who works under the name of fairgate homes is a very well- respected developer in stouffvil le not only does he have a great respect for mayor fran sains- bury and alt members of council he shares in their feelings to cre ate a wellplanned community this project is an attempt to tell the residents he identifies with the wishes of council and will express it through the complex although bargain harolds has officialy been signed as a tenant negotiations are under way to sign a donut shop lottery kiosk smoke shop and hairdresser for the 30 to 35 stores mr dunlop also hopes to include two real estate companies a bank toy shop mens wear store and roadhouse tavern i believe there should be a proper balance of tenants in a complex this size says mr dun lop rather than lease to just anyone id like to see a proper blend of users claiming the stores will be rented for 18 per square foot with a fiveyear lease and options mr dunlop says this rate is very very good for an enclosed mall and considering the whole makeup of this type of complex is generally higher the mall will include four main entrances two on main street one on palmwood gate and one on service road with parking for 300 to 350 cars one problem many malls run into is not enough adequate park ing but in this case there is almost a surplus says mr dun lop one exampleof a successful complex is the a p plaza however there parking is a prob lem but if we can put together a complex as good if not better and give them adequate parking theres no reason why people wont come to an enclosed mall the major advantage of a mall this type is you have a cap tive audience he continues in the winter time it gives people somewhere they can go to get out of the cold yet at the same time they can either sit around or browse mr dunlop also claims to have talked to a number of people in stouffville and says the gener al consensus i get is that
