These are the proposed lease plans for Toronto’s Hazelton Lanes renovation (see above and second-to-last image). Yesterday we reported that Hazelton Lanes will undergo extensive renovations to attract more luxury tenants. From the looks of the plans, most of the mall will see an overhaul. The future of anchors Andrews (department store) and Equinox Fitness are in question, as they appear to possibly be absent from the new plans. However some anchors, including Whole Foods, will stay.

The current Hazelton Lanes floorplan (above) includes department store Andrews,
which has two retail levels. We’re not sure if Andrews will be part
of the mall, though it’s possible it could be relocated to two larger
retail spaces, one above the other, near the new oval atrium area. Noticeably absent from the
new plans is Equinox Fitness, as its current space appears to be
dedicated to retail in the new plans. 

136-138 Yorkville Avenue, to be demolished for Hazelton Lane’s Yorkville Avenue Entrance

First Capital recently purchased 136-138 Hazelton Avenue with the
intention of demolishing structures for the mall’s southward expansion. However, we don’t yet have modified lease plans for a southward expansion of Hazelton Lanes to include an entrance on Yorkville Avenue.

We’re hoping to soon learn of which luxury retailers will sign up for space at Hazelton Lanes. Given the challenges of finding space on Bloor Street, some luxury stores may see Hazelton Lanes as a viable alternative to Bloor. And having one landlord could give Hazelton Lanes an edge in securing tenants over Bloor Street, where retail space is owned by multiple parties.

We encourage commercial real estate professionals involved with the Hazelton Lanes project to keep us updated on the mall’s possible tenants. We’ll keep sources confidential.
