Kingsway Mall, Target Redemise

Edmonton, Canada

Located in central Edmonton, Kingsway Mall is the second largest mall in the city, with over 200 shops and services.

Originally built in 1976 with many expansions and renovations over the years, the mall's latest major construction took place in 2013 for the Target addition and renovation.

Entuitive was retained to provide structural engineering services for the Target Redemise project following the store’s closure in 2016. The initial scope included repurposing the existing two-level vacant Target store into multiple commercial retail units. The scope was extended into a major renovation of the south partition of the mall, which required many structural alterations, additions, and modifications. A new two-storey building and loading dock on the west side and south canopy were also added to the existing building.

Challenge

Among many unexpected existing conditions, one of the major challenges was moving eight columns throughout the main and second floors to allow for public corridors. The second floor and roof framing comprised a Gerber system, which made the column relocation more complicated. New openings for escalator, elevator, skylight, and mechanical components, as well as roof reinforcing for new roof top units and an extension of the fire exit underground tunnel provided additional challenges.

Solution

A great collaboration between consultants and the construction manager allowed the project to proceed without delay, despite the challenges. All details were developed based on constructibility concerns, providing enough flexibility to deal with unexpected site conditions.
