The Well (retail)

Couldn't find a thread that was specific to the Well.
Lease plans are up for the Well and show a fair bit have been leased to, IMO, a pretty uninspiring line-up; two banks and Shopper's Drug Mart.

mods feel free to merge if I missed existing thread!

There was a discussion in the main Well thread on retail back in late March...........started about here:


The big tenant here is Oliver and Bonacini. Their food empire has leased 70,000ft2

Even so, a sub-thread devoted to the retail component is not a bad idea. This is a huge multi-building development and getting it divided is probably good.

Yup, totally fine w/it; was just linking back to the previous discussion for reference.

Retail leasing at The Well


The Well mixed-use development in the western part of downtown will have 420,000 square feet of space for retail and food services. RioCan REIT has used CBRE’s assistance to lease 110,000 square feet to date.

Markowitz said fitness club Sweat and Tonic is taking 24,000 square feet. A major restaurant group has leased 78,000 square feet for six different restaurants in various parts of The Well.

Shoppers Drug Mart has leased 16,000 square feet while 10,000 is going to tenants that cater to everyday needs such as banking and barista-style coffee. Other retailers are close to signing leases at The Well, Markowitz added.

Markowitz said The Well’s concourse food hall and market will be larger than 65,000 square feet.

“It’s like the St. Lawrence Market on steroids. It’s going to be something that nobody in Toronto has ever seen before. That’s the true anchor of The Well and it’s super exciting.”

Hmmmm - which restaurant group could that be that has at least six different brands? Can we expect a "Landing," a Keg, a Fionn MacCool's, a Montana's, a Swiss Chalet, and a Kelsey's? That, plus Shoppers Drug Mart and a Sweat & Tonic is really exciting!

Nope, it's O&B

I think this will be an amazing development, but... I have to say, they've leased to a fairly uninspired collection of retail. I'm not sure what else would have worked and certainly the workers and residents need banks and gyms and drug stores, but this is not currently shaping out to be any sort of destination retail.

“The Well will be the space that curates moments, captures culture and contrasts our past stories with our future vision.
“The new space at The Well will be an expression of openness. There will be open archives, open collaboration, open source, because collecting is part of what we do. It’s how we track our story and for us we’re always searching, reinventing and innovating.”
