Reason to Believe

Faced with a failing food court, unproductive spaces and a grocery anchor bracing for the arrival of a strong competitor, Northumberland Mall in Cobourg, Ontario, turned to High Peak Group of Companies for a solution. We delivered success by stabilizing existing tenants, remerchandising the food court and redesigning the mall. As a result of our efforts, Northumberland Mall attracted major tenants such as SportChek, Le Chateau and Urban Planet, increasing its cash flow considerably. We were also able to stabilize and strengthen the position of the mall’s grocery anchor.
