Objective:
To revitalize Tsawwassen Shopping Centre by reimagining underutilized spaces, enhancing tenant attraction, and creating a vibrant, modern destination that supports local businesses.
Approach:
Pria Rajput, a seasoned design consultant, and her team at BLD Advisory, collaborated closely with Rural Stores Ltd. to lead the rebranding and redevelopment of the Tsawwassen Shopping Centre. Acting as corporate-level advisors, the team focused on a comprehensive strategy that integrated design innovation, tenant engagement, and market-driven insights.
- The BLD team provided corporate-level strategic consultation, advising on layout optimization, traffic flow enhancements, and marketing initiatives to amplify the centre’s appeal.
- Collaborated with external consultants to ensure alignment between design objectives and business goals.
- Worked alongside commercial brokerage firms to identify and attract new tenants that aligned with the shopping centre’s vision and the local market’s needs.
- Curated a tenant mix designed to appeal to a diverse customer base, ensuring both long-term stability and a dynamic shopping experience.
- Vacant units were transformed into pop-up retail spaces, providing a platform for local businesses to showcase their offerings.
- The atrium was redesigned with a sleek, contemporary aesthetic, creating an inviting atmosphere that set the tone for the entire centre.
