History
On August 26, 1954, Simpsons-Sears opened a store on the city's outskirts surrounded by farmer's fields and St. Peter's Cemetery. The store was designed by John B. Parkin. Simpsons-Sears, later known as Sears Canada, attracted more businesses to Lansdowne Street, eventually establishing it as the City's commercial hub.[2] One year later, Loblaws opened nearby. The City announced a $2 million shopping centre at the site. This would not be realized until 1980.[3][1]
The mall was substantially renovated and expanded in 2009, adding 160,000 square feet of shopping space and opening 40 new stores.[4]
Sears closed on January 14, 2018, after 64 years in operation.[5][6] Sears Canada sold the building to Lansdowne Place in 2018, and it was demolished in 2020.[7] Sport Chek relocated to the former space of Sears at Lansdowne Place on November 10, 2022.[8]
In March 2022, Primaris Real Estate Investment Trust bought the mall from the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan.[9]
Retailers
The mall currently has two anchors, Sport Chek and Real Canadian Superstore. Other retailers include H&M, Old Navy, American Eagle Outfitters, Dollarama, Sephora, and Planet Fitness.[1]
