Square One has announced that it has achieved $1 billion in annual retail sales, the shopping centre’s most productive year over year performance to date. From May 2016 to May 2017 sales have resulted in $1 billion, making the foremost fashion, lifestyle and entertainment destination the second shopping centre in Canada to achieve this milestone.
Owned by Oxford Properties Group and Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), Square One’s success can be attributed to a number of factors including the opening of the new 130,000 square foot Holt Renfrew, and a number of luxury and aspirational retailers such as Salvatore Ferragamo, Rolex at Raffi Jewellers and Ontario’s first Simons.
“This incredible sales milestone echoes our mission to create a connected and thriving city centre that inspires our community, maximizes the infinite opportunities of our city and resonates beyond our boundaries,” says Greg Taylor, Director and General Manager, Square One. “With unprecedented redevelopment, along with the arrival of highly coveted brands to Square One, we will continue to be a passionate and genuine partner in creating and driving positive growth and development in Mississauga’s downtown core. This milestone heralds a new era for Square One as a world-class destination for fashion, lifestyle and entertainment.”
Over the past year, Square One introduced over 30 new retailers, including German premium fashion brand Marc Cain, the first freestanding Urban Decay store in Canada, Japanese lifestyle brand MUJI, Fascination Porsche popup, high-end shoe retailer Stuart Weitzman, and many more.
