Seasons Retirement Communities purchased the mall in 2017 and acquired the land beneath it last year. It plans to convert the former shopping centre into a retirement community with residential towers and additional assisted-living units.

The company also reached a 20-year deal with Lambton County that will see a standalone building on the site housing social services. Troy Shantz
