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.
