As the Hudson's Bay Company era nears its end, many of its soon-to-be vacated spaces may find new life with different tenants, with decisions on many sites expected in the weeks ahead.By Summer 2025, all 96 of the company's brick-and-mortar stores will close following a liquidation process that first began last month — including six locations that had previously been spared, such as the downtown Toronto and downtown Montreal flagship stores, but are now slated for closure as of a new court filing this week.From the outset of the court-approved liquidation process last month, Hudson's Bay engaged commercial real estate firm Oberfield Snowcap to market and sell its leases and properties, as a measure to generate additional operating revenue. This has been aptly named as the "Lease Monetization Process."Final bids for leases due on May 1According to a court filing earlier this week, as a part of the ongoing federal Companies' Creditor...

26 h. ago Hudson's Bay to close remaining Ontario stores initially believed to be spared

The six Hudson's Bay department stores in Ontario and Quebec that were spared from closure have found their reprieve to be only temporary.Hopes for retaining these locations to potentially continue a seamless, downsized existence of the iconic Canadian retailer, which was first founded 354 years ago as a fur trading business, have now faded.This, it seems, is where the curtain finally falls on an era of a storied company.In a new court filing that has yet to be published at the time of writing, the six store locations added to the liquidation and imminent closure list now include the heritage downtown Toronto flagship store at 176 Yonge St., the Yorkdale Shopping Centre store in Toronto, and the Hillcrest Mall in Richmond Hill, Ontario.In Quebec, the remaining locations that will close include the heritage downtown Montreal flagship store at 585 Saint-Catherine St. W., CF Carrefour Laval mall, and CF Fairview Pointe-Claire mall.Liquidation at these six remaining locations will b...

It may be one of the worst times in years to try and sell a home in Toronto, but conversely, those in the market to buy a property may be able to land themselves somewhat of a deal (relative to the city's infamously ludicrous prices, that is).Prices are finally starting to erode in the face of a terribly stagnant market, most notably in the condo sector, where fewer units are changing hands than ever in the last three decades.According to the latest data from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), the average price of the typical GTA condo fell 2.6 per cent from March 2024 to the month prior, while the average price of a home of any type is down a similar 2.5 per cent over the same period.Sales have dropped a staggering 23.1 per cent year-over-year, while active listings have shot up 88.8 per cent, giving buyers the advantage of choice and negotiating power.As such, along with a Bank of Canada mortgage rate cut in March, the annua...
