How we build value.

Our challenge was to redevelop an old and under-performing enclosed mall into a vibrant community strip centre.

$7.5Million
Purchase Price

$2.2Million
Capital Investment

Pseudio, Eclipse and Jungle Jim’s Eatery store fronts

The result attracted national tenants on long-term leases that replaced local month-to-month leases. In addition, outdoor tenants experienced significantly higher sales and customer traffic due to an improved shopping experience and easy street access.

Occupancy increased!

63% to 96.1%

Tenants became more visible with former indoor retailers benefiting from acquiring frontage and access to the parking lot.

Square footage reduced!

35%

Significant cost reductions due to elimination of indoor common area space and costs associated with maintaining it.
