Holt Renfrew will open a new 102,000 square foot (gross square footage) store in the expanded north-end of Toronto’s Sherway Gardens shopping centre. This will replace its current smaller location in the same mall. Lease plans show a 29,440 square foot floor, a 60,425 square foot floor and a 12,000 square foot mezzanine level.

The new store will be located at the North-end expansion of Sherway Gardens, as per the diagram below:

The current Holt Renfrew store at Sherway Gardens is only 33,670 square feet, meaning the new store will be about tripple its size.

Sherway Gardens will continue to operate Sears and The Hudson’s Bay Company stores. As mentioned yesterday, Nordstrom will occupy the South-end of the mall currently occupied by Sporting Life. 

This newly expanded Holt Renfrew store will be larger than the expanded Holt Renfrew store opening soon at Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre. Yorkdale’s Holt Renfrew will be about 84,000 square feet. 

We will keep you updated on this and other developments!
