Montreal is set for a fashion mega-boost with a slew of openings planned at Royalmount, a retail and lifestyle city center destination that’s slated to open next year.
Saint Laurent, Versace, Jimmy Choo, Michael Kors, David Yurman, Tag Heuer and Michael Kors are among the names that will open stores at the development, according to Andrew Lutfy, chief executive officer of Carbonleo, the privately owned, Quebec-based real estate development and management company that is spearheading the project.
Royalmount is a $7 billion, mixed-use development in central Montreal that will feature retail, offices, restaurants and entertainment, all surrounding a central park.
The development will eventually house 170 stores and 60 restaurants, with some 50 percent of brands and retail concepts set to be completely new to the Quebec market. The first launches are set for summer 2024.
Previous brands announced at Royalmount include Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Tiffany & Co.
According to Lutfy, who is working with private equity firm L Catterton on the project, the first phase will consist of a 824,000-square-foot, two-level retail and lifestyle complex.
