Security is indeed very aggressive. I hopped a fence to avoid one car and took a walk around the building, only to bump into yet another! (Then again, it might just have been the same car circling to meet me.) I was not confronted, probably because the weather was miserable and wet.

I wasn't lucky enough to find an opening, but it was still interesting to see the slow renovation taking place as well as hints of what the building used to be. A very dismal place in the rain.

From Google Maps: August 2014. Sorry for the bad angle, but here it's visible that the mall is now quite dead. The lot is empty and the entrance sign on the left has been stripped.

Now. The trucks are back, but now they belong to the neighbouring Metro building.
