Case Study Holt Renfrew

Holt Renfrew is Canada’s premier luxury fashion and lifestyle retailer. They are well-known for offering a carefully curated selection of high-end designer clothing, accessories, beauty products, and home décor.


Retained as Construction Manager, MARANT implemented a multi-phased “in-situ” renovation to the administrative headquarters of Holt Renfrew. Previously occupying space over seven floors in the building, this restack to four floors provided Holt’s the opportunity to develop new office standards that aligned with their corporate identity and brand.

Creating a strict schedule and budget parameters to meet the overall design intent, MARANT implemented a space optimization strategy that centralized operations, and increased functionality between departments within four contiguous floors. Creating a new open concept office plan layout, a full floor conferencing centre / town hall with high-end finishes (equipped with A/V) was also constructed for client and public receptions.

The scope of work included: demolition of all existing leaseholds, whilst utilizing swing space to phase departmental shifts to the completed floors, as well as three floors of “return-to-base building” landlord’s work.

This image provides a close-up, straight-on view of the modern office kitchen and breakroom area seen in the background of the previous photo. The design is starkly minimalist, dominated by bright white surfaces and a bold geometric pattern.
This image shows a perspective view looking down a luxurious, polished corridor leading directly to the Holt Renfrew reception desk seen in the previous photo. The composition is highly symmetrical, emphasizing clean vertical and diagonal lines.

We took our Executive Team on a tour through the 11th and 14th floors this afternoon, and they were all extremely impressed and pleased with everything we showed them! MARANT’s hard work is absolutely apparent – and we truly appreciate it!
