VAUGHAN MILLS SHOPPING CENTRE EXPANSION

VAUGHAN MILLS SHOPPING CENTRE EXPANSION

Client: Ivanhoe Cambridge

Ivanhoe Cambridge’s goal was to provide an unprecedented retail mix in Canada by increasing their number of retail concepts by 25%, redeveloping, and adding to the existing 1.1 million square feet of retail space. They also wanted to enhance the centre’s architectural appeal with interior and exterior renovations.

As architect of record, our challenge was to construct 200,000 sf of new retail space and renovate 100,000 sf of existing retail space, while keeping the existing centre open for business.

Client: First Capital Realty

First Capital Realty is known for highly-selective and strategic retail locations, functional designs, thoughtful tenant mix, and commitment to excellence in property operations. This development site was in a desirable suburban neighbourhood with significant new residential construction planned, but presented a planning and design challenge.

Our task was to achieve the full potential of the awkward, triangular, nine-acre plot sandwiched between a major street and CN Railway Lands, which required special consideration with respect to the building setback. Their goal was to develop a single-storey retail plaza with a minimum GFA of 100,000 sf.

Client: Triovest Realty Advisors

Triovest’s goal was to add 140,000 sf to an existing commercial development anchored by destination retailers in one of Durham Region’s largest and most important shopping nodes.

Our challenge was to rezone the site to allow for food store use, obtain a variance from the Town of Whitby due to limited on-site parking, and work around a stormwater management pond in the centre of the site, which occupies three acres of land.

Client: First Capital Realty

First Capital Realty is well known for enhancing communities by investing in urban shopping centres. This time, they brought us an unusual and challenging project. We were to create a multi-tenanted, mixed-use commercial property out of a former furniture store with chaotic and irrational spaces resulting from multi-floor additions over the years.
