Carrefour de l’Estrie

Carrefour de l’Estrie is the principal Sherbrooke super-regional shopping centre at 3225 Boulevard Portland in the southern Sherbrooke commercial district, opened in 1973 with the 90,000-sqm super-regional format spanning approximately 200 retail and service units. The property is owned by Cominar REIT as the flagship Cominar Sherbrooke retail asset, serving the Greater Sherbrooke CMA of approximately 230,000 metropolitan residents as the dominant retail destination in the Eastern Townships region of Quebec.

The format combines the Simons, Hudson’s Bay Company, and Sport Chek anchor stores with the comprehensive international and Quebec retail register featuring H&M, Zara, Lululemon, Sephora, Dynamite, Reitmans, and the broader Canadian and international fashion programming. The Cinémas Guzzo multiplex anchor, the comprehensive food court and dining circuit serving the French-speaking Sherbrooke and Estrie regional demographic, and the broader retail-and-services programming serving the Eastern Townships residential and university catchment complete the contemporary Sherbrooke super-regional offer.

The catchment combines the dense Sherbrooke residential demographic of approximately 230,000 CMA residents, Sherbrooke hosts the Université de Sherbrooke (40,000+ students) and Bishop’s University, making it a significant university city, with the broader Eastern Townships regional draw from Magog, Granby, Drummondville, and the Quebec-Vermont border communities. Direct accessibility includes the direct Highway 10 and Boulevard Portland interchange positioning the property as the principal Eastern Townships expressway-accessible retail destination, the STS transit network, and the dedicated parking infrastructure for approximately 4,500 vehicles.

Cominar REIT coordinates the property management of Carrefour de l’Estrie as the flagship Cominar Sherbrooke retail asset. The asset’s commercial role within the Canadian retail map is the dominant Eastern Townships super-regional destination and the largest shopping centre between Montreal and the Vermont border, serving the Sherbrooke university community and the broader Estrie regional catchment as the principal retail gateway for Quebec’s fourth-largest city within the broader Quebec retail register.
