Mall to expand

CrossIron Mills mall is getting bigger.

Construction will begin on the one million square foot shopping centre in the new year to create an additional 46,000 square feet of retail space.

With greater Calgarys tremendous population growth rate and high disposable income, we are capitalizing on the opportunity to expand CrossIron Mills to welcome more world-class premium outlet brands that are seeking a truly successful retail destination with a proven track record, said John Scott, senior vice president for Ivanho Cambridge, the company that owns the mall.

The $60 million expansion will relocate the food court and increase the food vendors from 14 to 16 and provide an additional 200 seats. It will also create more space in a high-traffic area for additional retailers, said Scott.

By expanding and relocating CrossIron Mills hugely popular food court, were increasing retail opportunities for outlet brands in two prime areas within the centre, he added.

Work will start in January 2015 and is expected to be complete in two phases with the first phase opening in spring 2016 and the second the following spring.

CrossIron Mills opened in 2009 and covers more than 200 specialty stores and brand outlets.
