When the huge, 200-acre Park Place (Barrie, Ont.) development opens its first phase of retail space in 2010, it may include an Apple retail store. The lifestyle-style project about 60 miles north of Toronto will include every type of attraction: retail, office, industrial, residential, hotel and entertainment. The city is along Kempenfeldt Bay, and is generally an upscale bedroom community for Toronto workers. The Park Place project will be on the site of the former Molson Park, and will open in several phases starting in 2010 and ending in 2014. It’s unknown when Apple’s space will become available.
