About SmartCentres REIT
SHOPPING CENTRES TO CITY CENTRES SmartCentres was started over thirty years ago because we believed that Canadians deserved products they could afford, at convenient times, in stores that were close to home. By fulfilling those needs, SmartCentres has grown and expanded into communities in every province across Canada.
Today, Canadians need transit-connected apartments, condos, and seniors’ residences with access to retail, office and storage facilities — as well as open, green spaces and places to gather. So, SmartCentres is evolving.
SmartCentres owns 3,500 acres of land across 195 prime locations where we’ve consistently provided a best-in-class retail experience. Now, because we’ve always respected Canadians' needs, we’re creating communities that Canadians can be proud of — transforming our properties from shopping centres into city centres.
