Instead of building this, they probably should not have built Bay stores in every suburban mall, effectively cannibalizing downtown flagships.  

If the Bay didn't build stores in every suburban mall then someone else would have. The downtown flagships were going to get cannibalized. Hudson's Bay Company had a simple choice. Will they be the ones doing the cannibalizing or someone else?

Once enough people owned private cars it was over. Do you expect families to do serious shopping at the Bay and carry all their purchases back home on public transport when they already own a car?

My comment was a more general one with 20-20 hindsight (and somewhat facetious):  all department stores overbuilt and over-expanded into suburban locations and effectively killed their respective flagships.   By the late 1990's when downtowns started to become lively and fashionable again, the model was on life-support;  not to mention so many flagship stores had been neglected - The Bay on Phillps Square being an example.  On-line shopping is now going to kill the department store for good unless the surviving ones can go back to their roots and create exciting destinations/experiences at downtown stores.

Parfaite démonstration d'à quel point un chubby a des conséquences néfastes sur le skyline d'un centre-ville : Totalement supplanté par ses voisins immédiats (TDC 1,2 &3) et mêmes éloignés (1250, 1000, Avenue) et sensiblement de la même hauteur que des édifices plus élevés mais situés en arrière-plan (Château Champlain, TDLB). 

Le pire dans la photo suivante, c'est que tout ce qui est compris entre la TDC1 et les TDC 2&3 restera figé tel quel pour l'éternité. Damned,
