Confederation Mall finds new anchor in Canadian Tire
Walmart‘s move towards free standing outlets has left some gaping holes to fill in shopping centres across the country. Confederation Mall was faced with the prospect of filling 130,000 square feet of retail space when its longstanding anchor tenant built a new store in the Blairmore Suburban Centre and moved earlier this year.
The Confederation Park area mall announced yesterday that a new anchor tenant has been secured. Canadian Tire, a nationally recognized retailer will grab the space and set up shop by early 2011.
Speaking to the Star Phoenix, ICR Commercial Real Estate agent Ron Ritchie said, “We’re going to see improvements to the whole mall – basically upgrading it and getting it up to date so it’s going to compete in the marketplace with everybody else.”

Sorry Dustin,
There’s nobody here associated with the new Canadian Tire store. You’ll have to contact them directly.

Hi Glen,
I don’t do any work with commercial real estate myself, but my primary contact in that end of the business tells me that the owner of the property had been planning to split the roughly 70,000 square foot space into four or five smaller spaces. That makes a lot of sense to me but I don’t know where they’re at with it exactly.
