The Hudson's Bay store at Hillcrest Mall in Thornhill, Ontario, underwent a significant revitalization in 2015, blending modern retail design with the brand’s historic legacy. Spanning 79,500 square feet, the redesigned space merges sleek, contemporary aesthetics with elements that honor Hudson’s Bay’s heritage. The glass entrance is framed by warm wooden columns, creating a luxurious and inviting atmosphere.

​

A key feature of the redesign is the structural glass pavilion, which serves as a striking new entrance. The corner windows, enhanced by dramatic exterior lighting, showcase the store's fashion-forward merchandise while offering an inviting shopping environment. This addition underscores the store's commitment to modernity, sophistication, and elegance.

​

This revitalization successfully merges Hudson’s Bay’s rich history with a contemporary shopping experience. The use of bold materials and natural finishes enhances the store’s prestigious image, catering to the evolving tastes of today’s consumers while honoring the brand's legacy.
