Am I wrong, or have they removed the floor plans in question? All I can get is the (unaffected) 3rd floor.

Hah! The documents are still in the site's file directory (I went back to them in my internet history), but they have removed the link/preview image on the Cornwall Centre page.

Haha oops!

Hehe

My fault for bringing up the 20VIC site.

We are the WikiLeaks of Regina development. H&M will no doubt call us and Global "Fake News"

I swear I saw somewhere that it was a temporary relocation for renos. Maybe on the door of the old office? I can't imagine security needs 2500 sq ft.

Haha. I actually downloaded the PDFs because I had a fear they might disappear!

Additionally this only reinforces that the news uses this forum as a source. They've run other stories based on the GTH threads, etc.

Its great news for Regina all we need now is the new condo tower announced

BrannyMuffin · #**190** Posted **Feb 17, 2017, 3:56 PM**

Looks like they made an official announcement...

Quote:

Retail chain H&M is opening its first store in Saskatchewan at the Cornwall Centre in Regina according to a news release from the chain.

The store is set to open in 2018.

“We are thrilled to announce our upcoming opening in Regina as part of our continued expansion in the Canadian market. We have been waiting for a great location in Saskatchewan and are very happy to have finally found one.” says Toni Galli, country manager of H&M Canada...

Yup, I did the same, though after they "disappeared".

They actually put them back up, they just don't say H&M anymore. Which is funny because H&M just announced the store today...

Metalsmiths is staying where they are. They had signs up that they were closing for renovations. Not sure how they afford to stay in a space but that seems to be what is happening. Could be the same for Aldo Accessories but wouldn't be surprised to see them gone.

Papyrus is closing according to workers in the store, The Source will be moving back upstairs into that spot.

Besides the excitement of H&M itself, I am extremely excited for the domino effect regarding the properties around this retail addition downtown that will experience the extra draw of customers from the city and Province to the Cornwall Centre and Regina's downtown. It won't take long for a tenant to take the former Bryan's location plus anywhere in the near vacinity of H&M. This is huge for downtown. ❤

I also wouldn't be surprised if there isn't going to be mall access (as shown on the floor plan so far) from the 2nd Floor regarding theft as that is always an issue at the Cornwall Centre.

Would be nice to have an Indigo Spirit or "Chapter's Spirit" at the Cornwall Centre as I miss having a book store option.

Southland Mall Cineplex also has some activity...

Calgary's Chinook Centre has a two-story H&M that only has main-floor access, so I can envision something similar. Big second-floor windows overlooking a big open courtyard area.

EDIT: Here's what it looks like:

I guess they renewed their lease. That means no Cineplex at Grasslands.

Based on the floorplans, they clearly will have second floor access and why wouldn't you want that in two level mall. There is the small issue of the heritage façade inside the mall.

If they renovate their concessions, as well as update their theatres I am actually ok with this. It's not much difference for southwest residents to travel from Harbour Landing to Southland and if they lost the Cineplex, it would spell bad news for the mall. I'd really like to see things continue to improve there. Was just in Saskatoon and their malls are clearly better than ours. Lawson Heights and Centre Mall are much superior to Regina's second and third malls. Hopefully H & M will help bring more retailers of the calibre that Midtown Plaza has.

Stormer · #**200** Posted **Feb 17, 2017, 7:50 PM**

The vacant Bryan's space next to H&M should get leased up easily.
