New Sudbury Centre

New Sudbury Centre is the principal Greater Sudbury regional shopping centre at 1349 Lasalle Boulevard in the New Sudbury district, opened in 1967 with the 52,000-sqm regional format spanning approximately 130 retail and service units. The property is owned and managed by Primaris REIT as the flagship Primaris Greater Sudbury retail asset, serving the Greater Sudbury CMA of approximately 175,000 metropolitan residents as the dominant enclosed shopping centre for the largest city in Northern Ontario and the principal commercial hub for the nickel and copper mining region of the Canadian Shield.

The format combines the Hudson’s Bay Company and Sport Chek anchor stores with the comprehensive Canadian and international retail register featuring H&M, Lululemon, Sephora, Dynamite, and the broader Canadian fashion programming. The Cineplex Cinemas multiplex anchor, the comprehensive food court and dining circuit serving the Sudbury mining industry and Laurentian University demographic, and the broader retail-and-services programming complete the contemporary Northern Ontario regional offer.

The catchment combines the Greater Sudbury residential demographic of approximately 175,000 metropolitan residents with the substantial Northern Ontario regional draw from Espanola, Elliot Lake, Capreol, and the Nickel Belt communities of Garson, Hanmer, and Chelmsford, and a regional catchment extending to North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, and the smaller Northern Ontario communities that treat Sudbury as the principal commercial destination for major retail purchases. Direct accessibility includes the direct Lasalle Boulevard and Barry Downe Road arterial at the New Sudbury commercial spine, the Greater Sudbury Transit bus network, and the dedicated parking infrastructure for approximately 3,500 vehicles.

Primaris REIT coordinates the property management of New Sudbury Centre as the flagship Primaris Northern Ontario retail asset. The asset’s commercial role within the Canadian retail map is the dominant Greater Sudbury and Northern Ontario regional destination, serving as the principal retail gateway for the largest city in Northern Ontario and the commercial hub for the Canadian Shield nickel and copper mining region, a geographically isolated regional catchment of approximately 400,000 Northern Ontario residents for whom Sudbury is the nearest major urban retail centre within the broader Northern Ontario retail register.
