Rennaï’s 36,000-square-foot Royalmount space, designed by renowned interior designer Ana Borrallo, offers a unique shopping experience. The store features a curated selection of local, national, and global beauty products in a breathtaking environment. 

Christopher Novak, President and CCO of Rennaï, said,” Opening our first location in Canada with unique offerings in a state-of-the-art facility marks a pivotal moment in beauty and self-care evolution.”

The store is divided into five distinct “realms,” each catering to different aspects of self-care:

  1. The Reimagine Realm focuses on makeup artistry.
  2. The Refresh Realm is dedicated to fragrance exploration.
  3. The Revitalize Realm offers supplements and personal care products.
  4. The Rejuvenate Realm specializes in skincare and houses a medical aesthetic clinic.
  5. The Retreat Realm provides a relaxation space and pampering services.

Rennaï currently showcases over 175 brands, with plans to introduce more exclusive and first-to-market concepts throughout the year. The company aims to set new industry standards by educating customers and helping them develop personalized beauty routines.

Royalmount boasts an impressive array of 170 stores and 60 restaurants and cafes. Half of these retail concepts are new to the market, offering shoppers a fresh and diverse selection of brands and experiences. About 50 retailers opened on the September 5 opening day.

Notably, Royalmount houses the largest concentration of luxury stores in Quebec. The positioning establishes the complex as a destination for high-end shopping in the province.

Beyond retail, Royalmount embraces green spaces and art. The complex features a 77,000 square foot urban park, providing a natural oasis amidst the bustling shopping environment. Additionally, art enthusiasts can explore a public art trail showcasing over 60 installations from both local and international artists.

Sustainability is at the forefront of Royalmount’s design and operations. Developed by real estate company Carbonleo, the complex is on track to become Canada’s largest LEED Gold retail project. This commitment to environmental responsibility sets a new standard for retail developments in the country.

One of Royalmount’s most innovative features is its climate-controlled enclosed skybridge. The $50 million structure directly connects the complex to Montreal’s metro and public transit system, encouraging eco-friendly transportation options for visitors.
