Construction kicks off for Bayshore expansion

OTTAWA, On. -- Construction has officially began for Bayshore Shopping Centre's new 160,000 sq. ft. expansion.

A bulldozer began ripping apart a portion of the old parade Friday following a groundbreaking ceremony at the mall.

"Levels one and two of the Zellers premises will be redivided to accommodate new retail space, that features two large format tenants," said David Baffa, with real estate giant IvanhoƩ Cambridge. "The third level of the expansion will be entirely occupied by a new Target department store."

The food court will also be relocated and remodeled, and a new parade will be built. When complete, Bayshore will have 10 per cent more parking than it currently has.

The mall's fixtures and pillars will also be updated to give it a more modern look, and it will be painting.

In total, there will be 56 new stores, but exactly which ones will move in isn't yet known.

The $200-million project is slated to be completed in 2015, and is expected to add another 400 employees to the mall's current 3,000 member work force.

Ottawa-based construction firm PLC has the contract for the work. It will take nearly 1,000 workers to build the addition to the mall.
