Among the low-rise industrial buildings that line the northern end of D茅carie Boulevard, a major new shopping centre is taking shape. The $7-billion Royalmount luxury retail and lifestyle centre is slated to open in summer 2024, after numerous construction delays. The real estate project will fill a gap in Montreal鈥檚 retail offerings, according to Charles de Brabant, the Executive Director of the Bensadoun School of Retail Management (BSRM). 鈥淚f you compare luxury retail to what we have in terms of hotels, restaurants or culture, it鈥檚 not up to par,鈥� says de Brabant. 鈥淪ome of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in Canada are in Montreal, and there is virtually no retail offering, with the exception of automobile dealers. When people want to splurge on luxury, they have to shop elsewhere.鈥�
