  • Canadian Shopping Centres Steadily Evolve Industry Retains Balance in Adjusting to Broad Demographic and Technological Trends
    January 11, 2019 Canadian Shopping Centres Steadily Evolve Industry retains balance in adjusting to broad demographic and technological trends Abstract: This article is a follow-up to an Industry Insights article on Canadian trends published December 20, 2017. It reviews the major trends affecting retailers and shopping centres in the nation in the past year. It is based on interviews with John Crombie (ICSC Provincial Chair for Ontario, Canada); Robert Boyle (Senior Director, Retail Research, Ivanhoé Cambridge Inc.); and Maureen Atkinson (Senior Partner, Research Insights, J.C. Williams Group). Although stability is a hallmark of the Canadian shopping centre that age cohort. (See Chart 1.)

  • Retail Trends Study “Shift the Market and Market the Shift” Executive Summary
    Retail Trends Study “Shift the Market and Market the Shift” Executive Summary The Regional Municipality of York February 2015 TATE ECONOMIC RESEARCH INC. The Regional Municipality of York, Retail Trends Study - Consolidated Summary Report Executive Summary Why “Shift the Market and Market the Shift”? Since the 1970’s, much of the development of commercial retail space (“retail development”) in Ontario, including in the Regional Municipality of York (the “Region” or “York Region”), has been characterized as being primarily single-storey, land consumptive and designed to favour auto-oriented shoppers. However, with Places to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (“Growth Plan”), the Province has established a direction towards shifting the market for retail development, as well as for other forms of development, toward a built form which assists in creating compact1, mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented and transit supportive communities. York Region and the local municipalities have been working to reflect this direction in their planning, including in the Region’s 2010 Official Plan (“ROP”). As part of York Region’s Official Plan review and update, the Region is developing an approach that will provide guidance to the local municipalities on planning for future retail development both through intensification and redevelopment of the built up area, as well as in the development of new communities. This approach is intended to provide a basis to “Shift the Market” from many of the land consumptive and auto-oriented retail development trends of the past 40 years to more compact and efficient urban forms of development, including increased mixed use. To achieive this “Shift in the Market” will require more than collaborative policy and regulation changes at the Regional and municipal levels.
