CF Sherway Gardens: Sales Per Square Foot Record Set as New Retailers Open [Podcast]

Date:

Share post:

Craig and Lee discuss CF Sherway Gardens, a Toronto shopping centre that boasts high sales per square foot productivity as new retailers open. The mall is anchored by Hudson’s Bay, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Harry Rosen, and will be welcoming new retailers such as Arcteryx, Ray Ban, and Alo Yoga. The future of Saks Fifth Avenue at the mall is uncertain, with the store having significantly downsized its offerings. Additionally, the mall lacks a direct subway connection and faces competition from Square One in Mississauga, which boasts a luxury offering.

Despite these challenges, CF Sherway Gardens is undergoing significant redevelopment. Plans are in place to add residential towers and other uses to the site, reflecting a broader trend of shopping center intensification in Toronto. The future of CF Sherway Gardens remains to be seen, but it is currently a successful mall with ambitious plans for the future.
