Retail Insider continues its Photo Series of Canadian malls with a Holiday update for shopping centres in 2021. This edition brings us to Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa.
Bayshore Shopping Centre is one of Ottawa’s largest malls with nearly 900,000 square feet of space and has anchor tenants including Hudson’s Bay, Walmart, H&M, Zara, Sport Chek, and Apple. The centre was acquired by Kingsett Capital in July 2021 from Montreal-based landlord Ivanhoe Cambridge and is managed by Cushman & Wakefield Asset Services.
For the holiday season, Bayshore has installed a number of holiday offerings that include a blue and white themed centre-court display, complete with a two storey holiday tree and a meet & greet with Santa.
The shopping centre has also partnered with MDRN Activations for a holiday display on the 3rd floor, which includes a photobooth that allows shoppers to be transported virtually to Canada’s great white North with an arctic winter station. The Centre wanted to highlight the beautiful ecosystem that makes up 40% of Canada’s landmass and take in the sights that Santa and the other North Pole inhabitants take in every day.
In addition to the photobooth, Bayshore has filled out the activation around the 3rd floor location with a fishing hole and “snow covered” benches.
The wintery scene will be on display until March 2022, at which time it will be transformed into a spring theme.
We will be completing a full Retail Insider Photo Tour of Bayshore Shopping Centre in early 2022.
