St. Laurent Centre

Sport Chek and an adjacent Best Buy give St. Laurent Centre at Boulevard St. Laurent and the Queensway (Highway 417) in east Ottawa a sporting goods and consumer electronics commercial axis that the east Ottawa residential base in Vanier, Gloucester, and Cumberland accesses as the primary commercial node east of the Rideau River. The 810,000 square foot property serves the Ottawa east-end household as the primary comparison-shopping format for a residential corridor whose francophone community identity, eastern European settlement history, and growing South Asian and African immigrant population give the property’s tenant mix a multicultural usage pattern that the full Ottawa telecom carrier cluster of Bell, Fido, Freedom Mobile, Koodo, Rogers, TELUS, Virgin Plus, and WOW serves with the mobile services density the east Ottawa residential household accesses at this commercial mall stop.

Shoppers Drug Mart serves the pharmacy and personal care category. Dollarama serves the value retail occasion. H&M, American Eagle, Dynamite, Ricki’s, Melanie Lyne, La Vie en Rose, and Boathouse cover the accessible and Canadian women’s and general fashion floor. Journeys and Foot Locker serve the footwear categories. Zumiez and Sport Chek cover the action sports and sporting goods register. Peoples Jewellers, Pandora, and Charm Diamond Centres serve the jewelry and gifting floor. DeSerres serves the art supplies and crafts category. Hallmark and Spencer’s serve the gifts and novelty categories.

The property’s commercial role in Ottawa’s east end is the Boulevard St. Laurent enclosed mall at the Queensway interchange: a B+ regional format whose east Ottawa residential catchment, full telecom carrier presence, and Canadian-identity fashion floor serve the Vanier-Gloucester residential base as the east-side comparison-shopping and services destination in a property whose adjacency to Loblaws, Walmart, and Costco in the St. Laurent Boulevard commercial corridor makes the mall one stop within a larger household shopping pattern for the eastside Ottawa consumer.
