ing building an indoor mall on its Lakelse Ave.-Ottawa St. pro- perty, says the company’s senior vice president.

Bryan Edwards said the. in- door concept is one of several options under study following

an announcement it had put. °

original development plans, on hold,

‘*ic’s not dead. That’s an im- portant piece of real estate for everybody,” said Edwards. —

The postponement announce- ment is the second time the

company has put: back its con- |

struction plans, Last June it said it was delaying construc- tion until sometime this yéar,

Edwards said a decision on the mall plans will be made in several months,

‘it’s mot a question of money,” said Edwards of the original planned $5 million development, ‘‘There’s.a long term lease on the property we

"We were, I, ‘think, on “the verge of building ‘éomething -

that was below the standard of &

what we really need, ** he said. Original p.ans called for a

two-part development featuring

a large ‘anchor’ store, smaller

‘retail outlets and a space for

community activities on its pro-

_ perty now housing the Bank of

Commerce, liquor store, Fields and other outlets. The new stores would be joined by an outdoor, covered walkway, Under the original plans, Okanagan-Skeena would build the first part on its land closest to Safeway. It would then move tenants in and build the second part after demolishing the strip of buildings on the property closest to the Overwaitea store. One concept now under con- sideration is a more modular structure to better allow renova-

tions and improvements in subsequent years, said Ed- wards.

“One of the diffi culties is that we did not want to know- ingly underbuild in terms ‘of capacity and in style,”’ he said.’ .

Edwards acknowledged that . other company activities of §

1989 — adding onto the second floor of its Skeena Broad- casters’ subsidiary building and to its building housing the Canada Employment Centre — had stretched the company.
