Ivanhoé Cambridge has completed a $230 million, 375,000 square foot redevelopment of its Oshawa Centre property in Oshawa, Ontario. Included is an additional 260,000 square feet of retail space, growing the mall to an impressive 1.2 million square feet.
The expansion adds 60 new retailers to the centre, as well as a 1,000 seat food court and two new full-service restaurants (including Kelsey’s, which opened in August and Baxters Landing, opening in December). A new 153 metre-long ‘living wall’ provides a landscaping screen in the mall’s 250-space parking area expansion, which also saw the addition of two new electric vehicle charging stations.
A new 260,000 square foot solar-reflective white roof reduces air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, with other environment-friendly features such as improved recycling facilities and an overall LEED® Canada Core and Shell certification.

Common areas have also been updated, including new floor and ceiling treatments, as well as the addition of comfortable seating, according to Ivanhoe Cambridge.

FOOD COURT RENDERING: IVANHOÉ CAMBRIDGE
Oshawa Centre was built in 1956 as an open-air shopping centre. The now-enclosed mall spans 1.2 million square feet post-expansion, housing over 250 retailers. The centre boasts over 9 million shoppers and per-square-foot sales of $735 annually. Anchor retailers include Hudson’s Bay and Sears, and other popular retailers include Aritzia, Saje, Victoria’s Secret, Sephora, lululemon, Pandora, H&M and Town Shoes.
Montreal-based leather and fashion brand Rudsak continues to expand its Canadian operations by opening new stores. Over the weekend, Rudsak opened a store at Toronto Premium Outlets in Halton Hills, and this fall it will open a store in Montreal’s affluent Westmount.
The new 2,000 square foot Toronto Premium Outlets Rudsak carries the brand’s clothing, outerwear, footwear, bags and accessories, with an interior featuring the brand’s signature modern décor aesthetic. It follows the opening of a Rudsak location at Toronto’s Scarborough Town Centre in August, as the brand continues to expand into the GTA.
The new Montreal Rudsak store, opening this fall, will be located at 4879 Sherbrooke Street West in the fashionable Westmount shopping area. The intimate ‘niche boutique’ will feature a premium selection of pieces from the brand’s seasonal collection.
Sacha Singh of brokerage Oberfeld Snowcap handles Rudsak’s Canadian real estate. According to Oberfeld Snowcap’s website, Rudsak is seeking mall real estate in the 1,500 to 2,500 square foot range.
Rudsak operates over 30 Canadian store locations, with over half of those in the province of Quebec. The brand is expanding nationwide and now has two Vancouver stores and one in Calgary, with more expected to follow. Last year, the company said that it was looking to eventually operate in excess of 50 Canadian locations coast-to-coast. Founded in 1994, Rudsak specializes in outerwear, footwear, bags and accessories, with a focus on products made of leather.
Innovative Canadian tea brand DNA Tea is seeking retail partners for its exclusive line of 100% authentic Darjeeling medicinal teas, which are blended with 35 rare herbs. Developed by Dr. Rahul Kushwah over the past 18 months, the brand is also looking to eventually open its own freestanding locations with retail partners.
The herbal ingredients in the teas have been medically shown to positively impact the human body, with health benefits supported by clinical trials. Remarkably, DNA Tea is the only tea-based natural product proven to do so. Its effects range from protecting DNA, preventing cancer, improving metabolism, improving libido, eliminating toxins from the body, enhancing immunity to even improving the health of hair and skin. The five DNA Tea lines include:
Links to each of these above provide extensive descriptions of how they work.
DNA Tea’s blends use a combination of 35 herbs shown to impact, protect and enhance the working of the human body. They were also developed to be delicious, according to Dr. Kushwah, with flavour coming exclusively from 100% Darjeeling Tea and 100% pure herbs. Unlike other tea manufacturers, DNA Tea has no chemicals, no preservatives, no artificial flavouring and no external flavouring, he said. At the same time, unlike other detox products available in health food stores which taste like “medicine”, DNA Tea is completely free of laxatives and at the same time is aromatic and delectable.
Antioxidant-rich Darjeeling teas have high levels of complex molecules such as theaflavins and thearubigins, with proven health benefits. Darjeeling tea is the most expensive, exotic and exclusive tea in the world, grown in only in 78 tea gardens at elevation of 6000 feet in the Himalayan Darjeeling hills. Darjeeling tea is the only tea designated as “Champagne of Teas” by the UK Tea council. DNA Tea takes pride in being the only company to use premium Darjeeling tea in all of their products.
Dr. Kushwah’s background is particularly notable, having been Professor at the Faculty of Medicine in the University of Ottawa, a Scientist at the Human Health Therapeutics Branch of the National Research Council (Government of Canada), as well as a Banting Fellow (Select group of 22 recipients from all over the world). He developed the line of teas after a serious illness where, due to an antibiotic interaction, his body quit making red blood cells. He consulted with a Naturopath who inspired him to develop a line of teas infused with herbs, which while tasting good also have a positive impact on the functioning of human body.
DNA Tea is seeking retail partnerships for its products. Benefits of partnering with DNA Tea include:
Attractive margins for retailers with preferred pricing,
Opportunity to carry an unique, innovative, impactful, premium product line with high percentage of repeat clientele,
Carry a completely natural product, aromatic and delectable, blended in Canada, and
Eye catching, unique packaging to retain flavour and aroma, while being aesthetically different and attractive.
For retailers interested in getting involved with DNA tea, call 1-888-IDNA-TEA (436-2832) or email: customerservice@DNATea.com. Website: www.DNATea.com. As well, the brand is looking to possibly spin off into a franchise model with its own tea boutiques.
Winmark Corporation-owned women’s resale concept Style Encore will launch its first Canadian store location next year, and the company is actively seeking franchisees for more than 40 territories nationally.
Style Encore caters to women in their late 20’s and upwards, selling gently-used clothing, footwear, handbags and accessories. Fashions range from casual to dressy, with Style Encore buying items that have been in retail stores within the past couple of years in order to reflect current trends. Unlike consignment, Style Encore pays cash on the spot for items it wants for its stores, and walk-ins are welcome. Style Encore stocks a variety of women’s sizes, ranging from size 0 to 4X. The company also makes it clear that it doesn’t sell counterfeits, and takes measures to ensure brand authenticity.
The company’s first Canadian store will open in the spring of 2017 in Guelph, Ontario, in unit 4 of the strip retail plaza at 170 Silvercreek Parkway North. Style Encore prefers retail locations with easy vehicle access, for the convenience of both consumers and product deliveries. Because of this, strip malls and similar retail environments are preferred.
Winmark Corporation is seeking Canadian franchisees for its Style Encore expansion. There are currently 40 territories open in Canada for Style Encore franchisees. The company has signed agreements for various sites, so the company is not soliciting sites from landlords at this time. The company utilizes Aurora Realty Consultants as its Canadian brokerage.
Minneapolis-based Winmark specializes in developing franchises for retail stores that buy, sell and trade new and used merchandise. It’s the parent company to retail concepts Plato’s Closet, Once Upon A Child, Play It Again Sports, Music Go Round, Style Encore, Wirth Business Credit and Winmark Capital. All focus on different demographics but adhere to the same frugal concept of ‘sell.buy.repeat’. The company’s retail brands have in excess of 1,150 franchised operations in North America with over $1 billion in sales, and it continues to expand rapidly. Winmark first entered the Toronto market in 1993 with the opening of a Play It Again Sports store in Whitby.
Toronto-based retailer BRIKA, profiled last week on Retail Insider, has acquired Sonder Mill, a curated peer-to-peer online marketplace for furniture and housewares based out of Toronto. It marks the first major acquisition for BRIKA, which is both an e-commerce company and bricks-and-mortar retail concept that sells crafted goods from the artisan and designer community.
“There is a consistent demand for beautifully designed furniture – and a community of talented Makers who supply the highest quality product in this category,” said Jennifer Lee Koss, BRIKA’s co-founder. “The furniture category is one that BRIKA has always wanted to delve into and aligning with a like-minded, Toronto-based entrepreneur was just the catalyst we needed.”
“BRIKA and Sonder Mill share the same vision for the future of craft retail,” said Sonder Mill Founder Scott Miller. “Expert product selection by way of staying true to quality craftsmanship is a must, and the reason our artisans and customers continue to resonate with our brands.”
Sonder Mill’s community of ‘Makers’ and products will be folded into BRIKA’s website and retail spaces, significantly broadening the scope of products offered and wholesale opportunities for artisans. “We are building a one-stop destination for only the most talented designers and their goods,” said Ms. Koss. “From the brand to the business, we see this acquisition as being a strategic move for us that will continue to expand BRIKA and fuel our future growth, both online and in-store.”
BRIKA was founded four years ago as a pureplay online retailer, sells unique crafted products from “the most talented, authentic artisans and makers”, according to the company. BRIKA now has two permanent Toronto retail locations as well as a series of pop-ups in partnership with Oxford Properties, and the retailer is also launching online through a variety of retailers, including Lord & Taylor in the United States. The company was founded by Jennifer Lee Koss, a Harvard MBA graduate and Kena Paranjape, a University of Toronto MBA graduate, former retail buyer and blogger.
BRIKA is launching a series of pop-ups in time for the winter holidays, offering curated shopping experiences to help with gifting. For more information, visit: www.brika.com.
Affordably priced Danish home furnishings retailer JYSK plans to substantially expand its Canadian operations. The company will open four more stores this year and in 2017, JYSK plans to open seven or more Canadian locations.
JYSK was founded in Aarhaus, Denmark in April of 1979, and is now the largest Danish retailer operating internationally. The company operates over 2,300 store locations in over 40 countries. It sells household goods such as mattresses, furniture, and interior decor, and also features seasonal furniture offerings.
According to Director of Advertising Lynne Williams, JYSK will open four more stores this year — a location opened in Trois Rivieres, Quebec last week, and stores will soon open in Edmonton, Oshawa ON, and at Heartland Town Centre in Mississauga. JYSK will continue with expansion plans into 2017 with stores in Ontario (Hamilton, Brampton and possibly Cambridge), in Laval and Sherbrooke Quebec, as well as on Vancouver Island and in the Maritimes. The retailer is looking to particularly increase its brand awareness in the province of Quebec, where it currently operates eight locations, she said.
JYSK’s Canadian stores are typically in the 22,000 square foot range and according to Ms. Williams, its new stores will be larger — typically in the 26,000 square foot to 30,000 square foot range, in order to accommodate an expanded furniture selection. Larger stores will also be able to house and display outdoor furniture inside stores, as opposed to outdoor displays that may be challenging for some retail locations.
JYSK is celebrating 20 years of operating in Canada this month, including a new advertising campaign. The retailer’s first Canadian location opened in Coquitlam, British Columbia in 1996, and its Canadian headquarters remains in the Lower Mainland. Ms. Williams explained that the west coast connection allows the company to be within proximity to its buying office in China.
Popular Japanese fashion retailer Uniqlo is preparing to open its first location in Canada at CF Toronto Eaton Centre. The 27,400 square foot space will be open to the public on Friday, September 30, 2016. Uniqlo is located on the third floor inside the Dundas Atrium, nestled between Nordstrom and H&M.

Ranging from down jackets to dress pants, Uniqlo’s fashions are known for being simple, affordable, and high quality. The company was founded in Japan in 1974, and operates over 800 stores globally.

We met with Uniqlo Chief Operating Officer, Yashuhiro Hayashi, for a sneak preview inside Canada’s first Uniqlo location. Construction has been ongoing for over four months, and is coming to a close. Boxes of merchandise continue to be unpacked, mannequins are still being styled, and two escalators are finishing installation.

Inside the main entrance is a large circular window display decorated with Japanese origami art, shaped as Canadian maple leafs. Behind the window display lies a table of flannel shirts. “We made sure we had enough red flannel,” Mr. Hayashi laughs. The presence of Canada is felt throughout the entire first floor. Photos from Uniqlo Canada’s latest campaign ‘Uncommon Thread’ are placed around the store, which features Toronto-based models of different ethnicities and ages at different locations in Toronto.
What are Canadians to expect from Uniqlo? Mr. Hayashi says that Uniqlo is for everyone. “A teenager can come, a senior citizen can come. You can come to Uniqlo with your entire family and [each person] can easily find at least one piece they want”. Although many retailers keep men’s and women’s fashions separated by floor, Uniqlo decided to place both men’s and women’s fashion on the first floor to stress to those unfamiliar with the brand that Uniqlo is for all ages and genders.

The mix of merchandise is nearly identical to that in Uniqlo flagships around the globe. “What you see in London, Tokyo, and New York is the same product selection you will see here in Toronto”. Mr. Hayashi said, stressing the importance of a similar in-store experience for Uniqlo locations in all countries.
COATS AND WINTER JACKETS CAN BE FOUND ON THE FIRST FLOOR. PHOTO: DEVON JOHNSON
Prices in the Toronto store align with Uniqlo locations in the United States. “This is a shop that doesn’t go above $250”, Mr. Hayashi said, pointing to a men’s down jacket. One will find ‘HeatTech’ undershirts for $20, and will also find cashmere sweaters in over 12 colours for $99 each. Mr. Hayashi says many items including the cashmere sweaters are the exact same prices found in the United States. Canadians will benefit with exchange rate, Mr. Hayashi says. This makes many of the items in Toronto less expensive than in its American stores.

We headed up to the second floor via elevator, where we discovered more casual wear for men and women. Kids clothing and undergarments are also found on this level.
We found clothing items from Uniqlo’s latest label ‘Uniqlo U’. This special collection was spearheaded by Christophe Lemaire, the former artistic director from Hermes, who is now Uniqlo’s global artistic director. To celebrate the opening of Toronto’s Uniqlo location, this collection will be exclusive in North America for one week. “We’re selling Uniqlo U in Toronto ahead of San Francisco and New York”. These items are specially designed with even more precision, and are one of the more sophisticated lines in the store.

One unique component to this location is a section on the first floor that will offer a rotating array of local Toronto company offerings, which will be only available in Canada at the CF Toronto Eaton Centre Uniqlo location.
The section includes a wall showcasing Toronto brands, including the Drake General Store, Blacksmith Cycle, and Souvenir Studios. Within these collections are local business-branded items as well as Uniqlo clothing pieces themselves, with each local business picking out specific pieces that align with both their own and Uniqlo’s brand.

Many analysts will be watching Uniqlo closely. We asked about future locations, and Mr. Hayashi says that Uniqlo’s Canadian store expansion will be carefully considered. “Toronto is an international city, but at the same time our studies show that our brand awareness is quite low.” Mr. Hayashi said, going on to say that before expanding Uniqlo across Canada, the retailer will be tracking success and listening to customer feedback from its CF Toronto Eaton Centre and Yorkdale Shopping Centre locations (the Yorkdale unit opens next month, on October 20).
“It will depend on the customers reaction. We want to make sure we’re solid here,” Mr. Hayashi stressed. “If were not getting it right, it’s not good to expand too fast. We’re going to take it slow, and serve customers right. When we’re ready, we’ll expand to other major cities or open more stores in Toronto ”, he said.
When asked how Uniqlo plans to win over Canadian shoppers, Mr. Hayashi explained that Uniqlo focuses on a solid product offering. Uniqlo specializes in creating casual wear that is versatile, high quality, and high function. Uniqlo continues to create a strong brand experience, and continues to improve existing product offerings.
“We’re not aiming to be the brand you wear for a date or gala,” Mr. Hayashi says. “We want to serve the customer with our [versatile] styles, rather than dictate the look. We provide those tools, the final look is provided by the individual”.
CASH REGISTERS ARE LOCATED ON BOTH THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR. PHOTO: DEVON JOHNSON
Uniqlo’s first Canadian store will open at CF Toronto Eaton Centre on Friday, September 30, 2016 in the Dundas Atrium, neighbouring the newly opened Nordstrom and the newly renovated flagship H&M.
Uniqlo’s second Canadian store will open at Yorkdale Shopping Centre on October 20 in the new $331 million 300,000 square foot wing that will be anchored by Nordstrom. Uniqlo will occupy a two level, 25,500 square foot space at Yorkdale and will be a neighbour with fellow Japanese retailer, Muji.
Toronto’s Yorkville Avenue will see more luxury retail with the announcement of a new 35,000 square foot project. Two investors, Greybrook Realty Partners Inc. and First Capital Realty, have partnered in the initiative.
Located at 101 Yorkville Avenue in the heart of the city’s affluent Yorkville area, the project will involve the demolition of an existing 45,000 square foot multi-level commercial building housing notable tenants such as denim retailer Over The Rainbow. The building’s current configuration, featuring retail that is half-level upstairs and half-level downstairs, has failed to attract luxury brands that prefer street-level entrances. The building was built in 1977 and reflects architecture of its time.
Greybrook and First Capital Realty each own 50% of the half-acre site (Greybrook has revealed that its share cost $17,785,000), boasting a 120-foot frontage on prestigious Yorkville Avenue. A number of luxury retailers are located nearby, and several others have either signed leases or are negotiating for nearby retail spaces. Last month, French footwear brand Christian Louboutin opened its Canadian flagship next door at 99 Yorkville Avenue, and in several months, Chanel will relocate to an 8,700 square foot space at 98 Yorkville Avenue. More luxury retailers will open as new retail space is added (also involving building demolitions) by First Capital Realty, which now owns a considerable amount of the retail space on Yorkville Avenue between Bay Street and Avenue Road.
For 101 Yorkville Avenue, First Capital Realty will act as development, leasing and property manager for the retail project, according to a press release issued by Greybrook Realty Partners.
There’s no mention of any residential being added to this project, with the immediate area being home to some of Canada’s priciest condominium residences. The most expensive home that has sold to date is the 9,038 square foot Four Seasons penthouse, which sold in 2011 for $28 million.
Yorkville Avenue will continue to see more luxury brands move onto the street, as retailers seek alternatives to prestigious Bloor Street West. Although Yorkville Avenue continues to see interest from a number of luxury brands, Bloor Street continues to also attract luxury brands, with recent flagship announcements for Dior, Moncler and Hermes.
French fashion brands Sandro and Maje will both open their first freestanding Canadian locations next month at Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre. The fashion boutiques will locate in the mall’s new 300,000 square foot, $331 million expansion wing (opening on October 18 of this year) that will be anchored by a 199,000 square foot Nordstrom store (opening on October 21).
The Sandro brand launched in Paris in 1984, and is known for focusing on “sleek, chic and effortlessly cool womenswear and menswear”. Maje was founded in Paris in 1998 and is known for “bohemian-chic, solar, and more feminine womenswear collections”, according to the company. The Yorkdale flagship will carry both men’s and women’s fashions/accessories/footwear, while Maje caters to women. There are over 500 Sandro stores and over 400 Maje locations worldwide. Parent company SMCP (which stands for Sandro, Maje, Claudie Perlot) operates 1176 points of sale globally in 35 countries, with about 4,300 staff.
“Canadian shoppers have a European heritage and sensibility to styling which is very much in line with the Parisian Chic DNA of our brands,” said Paul Griffin, President & CEO, SMCP North America. “Yorkdale is the highest performing shopping centre in Canada with the strongest mix of accessible luxury. The choice of Yorkdale as our gateway into Canada was part of our larger strategy to expand our freestanding footprint in that market, as we continue to develop our North American business.”
Although these will be the first freestanding locations for Sandro and Maje in Canada, the brands have had a concussion presence in Canada for the past several years at several Hudson’s Bay stores. Sandro operates women’s concessions at Hudson’s Bay in downtown Vancouver, Montreal and in Toronto at Hudson’s Bay’s Queen Street, Yorkdale and CF Sherway Gardens locations. Sandro Men’s concessions are contained within Hudson’s Bay’s downtown Vancouver and Toronto Queen Street stores. Maje womenswear concessions are located within Hudson’s Bay’s downtown Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto Queen Street and Yorkdale stores.
Yorkdale is currently Canada’s most productive shopping centre, with sales of $1,610 per square foot. The mall’s Nordstrom expansion will include several other ‘firsts’, including the world’s first Canada Goose retail store. After the expansion opening on October 18, landlord Oxford Properties will continue expanding the centre westward with a wing anchored by RH (Restoration Hardware) and at least two other confirmed anchors.
