Shopping Centre: Horizon Mall

shopping centre: In terms of the number of businesses, it is Canada's second largest shopping centre, behind the West Edmonton Mall, according to CTV. The Torgan Group, the corporation that manages New Horizon Mall, says that over 98 percent of the units have been sold. The new multicultural shopping centre was first announced back in 2013 and will feature about 500 stores and restaurants in 320,000 square feet of retail space on two floors. The stores will offer a variety of goods, including unique products and services, contemporary fashion and high-tech goods as well as an assortment of other items. Wasim Elafech, the listing agent for New Horizon Mall, says this will help Calgary small businesses greatly. For the first time in Alberta, each of the retail stores in the internationally-themed centre is individually owned and can be either owner-operated or leased to a retailer by the owner.
