Place Sainte-Foy

Place Sainte-Foy is the principal Quebec City southwest super-regional shopping centre at 2452 Boulevard Laurier in the Sainte-Foy district of Quebec City, opened in 1956 as one of the first enclosed shopping centres in Quebec predating Place des Arts (1959) with the contemporary 72,000-sqm super-regional format following successive expansions serving the Sainte-Foy-Sillery-Cap-Rouge borough. The property is owned and managed by Cominar REIT as the flagship Cominar Quebec City retail asset, representing a foundational milestone in Quebec commercial real estate.

The format combines the Simons flagship, 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 Cineplex Cinemas multiplex anchor, the dedicated dining circuit and food court with the comprehensive Quebec dining register, and the broader retail-and-services programming serving the Sainte-Foy educational and professional catchment complete the contemporary southwest Quebec City super-regional offer.

The catchment combines the dense Sainte-Foy-Sillery-Cap-Rouge residential and institutional demographic, Sainte-Foy hosts Université Laval (approximately 48,000 students) and multiple federal and provincial government offices with the broader Quebec City CMA concentration of approximately 830,000 metropolitan residents and the Chaudière-Appalaches South Shore catchment crossing the Pont de Québec. Direct accessibility includes the direct Highway 20 and Boulevard Laurier interchange at the principal southwest Quebec City highway node, the RTC bus rapid transit network on Boulevard Laurier, and the dedicated parking infrastructure for approximately 5,000 vehicles.

Cominar REIT coordinates the property management of Place Sainte-Foy as the flagship Quebec City Cominar retail asset. The asset’s commercial role within the Canadian retail map is the dominant Sainte-Foy university corridor super-regional destination serving Quebec’s provincial capital university district one of the highest-educated catchments in Quebec complementing rather than competing with the Les Galeries de la Capitale Ivanhoé Cambridge super-regional in Neufchâtel through its distinct Sainte-Foy Boulevard Laurier institutional and university corridor positioning and the foundational 1956 pioneer heritage within the broader Quebec City retail register.
