Challenge
How to unify two high-profile, mixed-use retail properties and complete the reconfiguration of the centre’s layout, synthesizing the shopping experience in appearance and ambiance.
Solution
The solution for building a vibrant shopping centre in the heart of downtown was to achieve retail densification by attracting three new anchor tenants, each with a strong presence on two levels, maximizing storefront expression along Saint-Catherine Street while enhancing street activation and drawing footfall into the shopping centre.
Result
Situated in the vibrant heart of the city, Montreal Eaton Centre stands as the core of it all: the downtown hub, the Underground city, and the McGill Metro station — the future connection of the REM network. The new layout reflects its reputation as Montreal’s premier shopping destination, showcasing popular tenants and ensuring an exceptional shopping experience. It’s not just a mall; it’s a vibrant gathering place for families and friends to enjoy quality time together.
