The scoop on Yorkdale’s latest expansion plans, including new stores from Kate Spade, Ann Taylor, Ted Baker and more!

As if Yorkdale hadn’t spoiled us enough by ushering in Topshop and J.Crew’s first Canadian locations last year, now they’ll be welcoming other first-timer brands into the fold later this year. Kate Spade New York, Ann Taylor and Ted Baker London are among a group of retailers that will find new homes in the massive retailer as part of an ongoing major expansion. Holt Renfrew, Lacoste and Club Monaco will all upgrade to renovated, larger spaces as well.

The most recent $185 million retail expansion will increase the shopping centre’s area by 145,000 square feet and will create 30 new stores, which will be open for business on November 15. This is the second of two major expansions for the retail centre, which launched the results of its first expansion this June: Dine on 3, Yorkdale’s new 45,000 square foot dining area, gives shoppers a cozy sanctuary thanks to its skylights, fireplaces and outdoor terrace.
