Mississauga, Ontario mega-mall Square One Shopping Centre has opened its highly anticipated luxury wing today, March 1, which includes such stores as Holt Renfrew, Harry Rosen, Club Monaco and Michael Kors.

Anchoring the luxury wing at 130,000 square feet, one of Canada’s leading luxury specialty retailer Holt Renfrew, will bring bespoke services, elegant style and fine craftsmanship to customers when it opens this summer. Setting a new standard for Holt Renfrew stores, the shop will feature coveted and luxe designer and ready-to-wear brands and an array of enhanced luxury services. High-end menswear retailer Harry Rosen will also make the new wing home to its flagship with the relocation to a 18,000 square foot corner shop.

Square One has been in the midst of redeveloping 2.2 million square feet of space since 2013 to the tune of $480 million. This includes the addition of 863 climate-controlled underground parking spaces, a dedicated Square One concierge that will manage shoppers’ retail needs and Ontario, Canada’s most comprehensive valet.
