Hopedale Mall set for major facelift By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF The Calloway Real Estate Investment Trust, which runs Oakville's Hopedale Mall, announced this month the Rebecca Street mall would be undergoing multi-million dollar renovations aimed at dramatically enhancing the shopping experience for local residents. The renovation will include the creation of all new entrances, aesthetic improvements, an expansion to accommodate a restaurant and an expansion to accommodate new retail shops, according to Heather Jenkins, director of Asset Management with Calloway. While contractual agreements are in the process of being put together, Jenkins said, it is too early to say what new stores will be coming. "We will try "On the to minimize interior, there disruptions, is a new food court that is but as you being put in. All know with new soft seat- most ing, new food construction, court furniture, you are going the washrooms are going to be to get minor upgraded, new interruptions." storefronts as required, new Heather ceiling details, Jenkins, new lighting to Calloway Real make it bright- Estate er, more cheer- Investment ful and more Trust inviting," said Jenkins. "It really is the entire mall that is going to be getting an upgrade." Jenkins said that since renovations were going to be undertaken at the mall anyway to accommodate the impending arrival of Target, it made sense to conduct additional renovations and spruce up the rest of the mall. The renovations are expected to last from now until their substantial completion in the summer of 2013. Hopedale Mall will remain open during the renovations. "We will try to minimize disruptions, but as you know with most construction you are going to get minor interruptions," said Jenkins. 9 · Friday, November 16, 2012 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.insideHALTON.com WIN A $1,000 SHOPPING SPREE!
