CALGARY Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide

Cushman & Wakefield | Calgary | 2018 0 Calgary has evolved into a home of luxury retailers, world class restaurants and one of Canada’s premier shopping destinations.

Built on the strength of the energy sector and entrepreneurial community, Calgary will have one of the highest GDP growth rates and labour force participation rates of the major cities in Canada in 2018. Over the past 10 years the city has had the highest population growth of major cities in Canada, with 64% of these new migrants arriving from international destinations. Calgary’s GDP is expected to grow 1.8% in 2019 with retail sales anticipated to gain 2.4%. Calgarians are among the top earners in Canada and with a higher level of disposable income, the luxury retail market has thrived; gaining international attention from retailers looking to expand into Canada. Fifty International brands entered Canada in 2017 including Nordstrom Rack and Saks Fifth Avenue; both of which have opened locations in Calgary as it is the major urban centre for the entire southern half of the province of Alberta. The CORE remains one of the busiest shopping centres in the city but despite this pedestrian traffic, Calgary’s luxury retail is largely located in malls located outside of the downtown area such as Chinook Centre and Market Mall which are more easily accessible. Late in 2018, Paris-based luxury fashion retailer Louis Vuitton opened its first standalone store in Chinook Centre covering 4,450 square feet; and closed its concession at Holt Renfrew in Calgary’s CORE. Chinook Centre sees approximately 14 million visitors annually which is less than the CORE; largely due to the fact that the mall has a customer driven base compared to the downtown office base. CALGARY Chinook Shopping Centre features several luxury retailers and has positioned itself as the hub for luxury in Calgary including OVERVIEW Tiffany & Co., Burberry, Harry Rosen, Saks Fifth Avenue and Calgary’s only Canada Goose. Saks Fifth Avenue (Chinook Centre) and Nordstrom Rack (Deerfoot Meadows) were also new location openings in 2018. The influx of U.S. chains and luxury brands into Western Canada has pushed lease rates higher, however Calgary rates remain attractive compared to other cities around the world.
