Following major expansion, the mall marked its reopening in August 2009, including a new food court and added parking.[2] These expansions included 40 new stores under a new two-level parking deck and a station on the expansion of the Edmonton LRT system, whose opening ceremony was on April 24, 2010.[1] An Edmonton Public Library branch operated in the mall until 2002, when it relocated to nearby Whitemud Crossing.

The mall is owned by Ivanhoé Cambridge, a subsidiary of the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec.

As of 2020 the mall was undergoing a $93 million expansion which will see the former Sears space repurposed as a new mall common area with three floors, with a London Drugs and H&M, which was almost completed in 2022 and will be completed in 2023.[needs update][3]

History and anniversary

edit

On August 12, 2010, Southgate celebrated the 40th anniversary of its opening. When the centre opened with Woodward's, Woodward's Food Floor and The Bay, it was at the time the largest shopping centre west of Toronto and the first centre built in Alberta that housed two anchor department stores. In 1993, Woodward's went bankrupt; its space was converted to Eaton's, which left Heritage Mall. In addition, Safeway occupied the food floor of the former Woodward's. By 1999, Eaton's went bankrupt and its space became a Sears the following year.
