MONTREAL, Jan. 23,
2025 /CNW/ - Centre Eaton de Montréal is proud to
announce the revitalization of its food court. This ambitious
transformation, set to incorporate the latest trends in design and
customer experience, is set to be unveiled in Fall 2026.
Complementing the Time Out Market and Le Restaurant du 9e, this new
project will enhance the culinary offerings of the Centre Eaton de
Montréal, solidifying its position as an essential destination for
food enthusiasts.
This newly reimagined food court promises a unique, welcoming,
and warm dining experience. Visitors will enjoy a diverse selection
of food concepts, blending well-known brands with
new-to-Canada eateries,
positioning the Centre Eaton de Montréal as a must-visit
destination for casual dining. Located at the tunnel level, this
area will also undergo a major rejuvenation.
"By reimagining the Centre Eaton de Montréal food court, we are
stimulating the customer experience and strengthening its role as a
key destination in the city's commercial and cultural landscape.
This project represents a new phase in our plan to invest in our
Québec flagship properties and enhance the urban experience at the
heart of the city," said Annie
Houle, Managing Director, Real Estate – Canada, CDPQ/Ivanhoé Cambridge.
A Reimagined and Sustainable Space
The new food court will enhance the customer experience and
showcase Montréal's cultural and urban identity through innovative
and sustainable design. The space will be designed to encourage
meal breaks, and gatherings among colleagues, friends, or families,
offering an environment that is both welcoming and stimulating. A
strategic three-phase rollout will allow current retailers to
continue operating during the renovations, ensuring a smooth
transition and uninterrupted customer experience.
The project will be managed by the commercial real estate and
investment management firm, JLL. "The revitalization of the Centre
Eaton de Montréal food court illustrates the dynamic evolution of
our downtown commercial real estate landscape and redefines the
standards of excellence. Projects of this scale require deep
expertise in property management and commercial development—areas
in which JLL has been a leader for many years," explained
Johanne Marcotte, Executive Vice
President, Portfolio Management, Retail at JLL.
