Yorkdale Shopping Centre, one of Canada’s leading shopping destinations, announced a new 298,000 square foot retail expansion that will be complete in the Fall of 2016. Construction of Yorkdale’s new retail expansion will begin in January 2014.

Yorkdale has a track-record for being the entry point for international retailers entering the Canadian

market. The new expansion will be anchored by a 188,000 square foot Nordstrom store. It will also

house a diverse range of other retailers that will be announced closer to the expansion’s completions.

This expansion comes hot on the heels of a $220 million and 145,000 square foot development that

opened to the public in November 2012 and featured five first-to-Canada brands. Yorkdale is adding six additional new-to-Canada brands in 2013 including AllSaints, David Yurman, John Varvatos, Mulberry, White House|Black Market and Zara Home.

Owned by Oxford Properties Group and AIMCo, Yorkdale Shopping Centre has undergone four major

renovations since opening in 1964. Yorkdale Shopping Centre completed a $110 million dollar expansion in 2005. Since then, the shopping centre has continued to improve its facilities and today serves as the unrivalled gateway for international retailers entering the Canadian market.

With more than 250 shops and services Yorkdale Shopping Centre is Canada's premier shopping

destination. Yorkdale recently underwent a $220 million expansion – the largest and most significant

expansion in its history - growing to a total of 1.6 million square feet of retail space that features some of the world’s best fashion, technology and luxury brands. Offering 7,400 parking spaces, valet parking and seating reservations at the Dine on 3 food collection, everything about Yorkdale is designed to enhance shoppers’ experiences. Yorkdale is co owned by Oxford Properties and Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo) and managed by Oxford Properties Group.
