Vertical integration changes the real estate game

by Erik Heinrich

Loblaw Cos. Ltd. wanted to hit the ground running with a refit at 899 College St. – owned by Clifton Blake Group – near Toronto’s Little Italy. It had decided the 15,000-square-foot space was ideal for a small-format No Frills.

When Pusateri’s Fine Foods cancelled its lease at 899 College St., after filing for bankruptcy just days before its grand opening, Loblaw Cos. Ltd. jumped at the chance to occupy prime real estate on the western edge of Toronto’s Little Italy.

At 15,000 square feet, the commercial property – owned by Toronto-based Clifton Blake Group – was ideal for a small-format No Frills, a new concept that Loblaw began rolling out last year to deliver discounted groceries in a leaner layout.
