Simons Retail Store Exterior

Calgary, Canada

The new Simon’s department store is a fashion anchor for the CORE shopping centre in downton Calgary, occupying 92,000 ft² of space in both the TD Square and Lancaster Building.

Simons is a Canadian retailer that has been in operation for 175 years. The bright and fresh interior aesthetic of the store breathes new life into one of Calgary’s oldest buildings. While the design approach was contemporary, attention was given to highlight the beauty of the 1919 building’s façade.

As part of the tenant fit-out, the design called for a new structural glass fin wall at the ground floor of the Lancaster Building and TD Square, a new canopy at TD Square, and new windows on the second, third, and fourth floors of the Lancaster Building. Entuitive provided Building Envelope and Glass Engineering services to the design team through design, tender, and construction. This included design assistance and pre-engineering of the specialty glazing systems to ensure constructability and functionality, which also helped to secure refined pricing.

Entuitive also provided general consulting to ensure tie-in details were executed with the existing terracotta cladding and curtain wall systems on TD Square.
