CF Masonville place, a 31-year-old shopping centre in London, Ontario, will reveal its $77-million expansion project this week—its first major renovation since 1985.

The 127,000 square feet of redeveloped retail space spans two levels and occupies the former Sears location. Thirteen new retailers and services have put roots down there, including the first ZARA in market, H&M, Hot Topic and NYX Cosmetics. Sport Chek / Atmosphere and The Keg Steakhouse + Bar will open in 2017.

Over the past year, the shopping centre has welcomed Michael Kors, Brown’s, Lindt, Saje, Lush, Ivivva, Kiehl’s, Sephora, Freshii, as well as the first Disney Store in the region.

“With a fashion-first and experience-led strategy, CF Masonville Place is significantly elevating the shopping experience and reinforcing its position as a leading retail and dining destination in South Western Ontario,” said Finley McEwen, senior vice-president of development for Cadillac Fairview.

The team also conducted a building accessibility audit to find ways to enhance accessibility for all visitors within the centre. Suggested recommendations for improvements in the redevelopment areas are underway, with expected completion by November 30, 2016. Improvements include tactile warning strips located on the edge of stairs, a universal washroom added in the food court, reinforcement of operational and maintenance standards and signage at touch level outfitted with braille and contrast.

“The shopping experience at CF Masonville Place continues to evolve and this was the right time to implement improvements based on our audit,” said Brian O’Hoski, general manager of CF Masonville Place. “By adding an impressive roster of retailers, improving the interior of the centre and accessibility and digital capabilities, we are responding to the growing expectations of shoppers in the city and our surrounding regions.”

Grand opening celebrations are set for November 4.
