Toronto Eaton Centre (Ongoing Renewal) | ?m | ?s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

Then it's perfect for Lush, Torrid, David's Tea and the other unimpressive stores down there.

Can we have a separately ventilated space (smoking room) for Lush? It's the most nauseating store in the mall.

Apparently your product is not all-natural unless it smells like something strangely unnatural.

Yup, the place is becoming more and more of a missed opportunity. Can't wait to see some new local competition put some pressure on CF.

Wasn't there rumours of a shopping mall being part of one of the bigger new developments around Front Street? Perhaps Oxford Place? The name escapes me at the moment.

Anyways, hopefully those plans to materialize. Right now CF is just riding on the fact that Eaton Centre is the only shopping mall in downtown Toronto. Some competition is needed for them to step up their game.

No kidding. I wonder how the sales can work there and not have each and every one of their olfactory nerve permanently fried.

I had a friend who worked at a lush. He did smell, 24/ 7. It was intense. You knew he was nearby even without looking or hearing him.

Yes, it was called Oxford Place. With a casino no longer a possibility, the project would appear to be in abeyance, if not dead. But as Tuscani points out, The Well further west is moving forward.

The bridge at the Eaton Centre is getting a makeover:

This is technically part of The Bay, in preparation for the arrival of Saks.

Thanks - I think it was reported on UT awhile ago as well.

Long overdue. The current bridge is nasty.

Hmm. Odd that BlogTO is just reporting about it.

We are waiting for a higher-res rendering, and info on who has designed it, etc.!

Well, the Bay is technically part of the Eaton Centre now, so it's all of a piece. The new Saks end of the bridge is looking really good.

Retail Insider was first to show the rendering, and I posted it here. That was a few weeks back.

I find BlogTO always reports on things after they've been noted here on UT first.

It even stinks when the store is closed. I walked the dog past the one on Queen West last Sunday morning, and it reeked to high heaven. I was wishing the old FAB store was still there.
