Jane Baldwin from Lennard Helps Bring Anthropologie to Toronto

U.S. fashion and home store Anthropologie coming to Toronto
Hollie Shaw, Financial Post
Published: Tuesday Oct 21st, 2008
Anthropologie, the eclectic U.S.-based clothing and home decor chain, will be making its debut in Canada next year in Toronto's upscale Yorkville shopping district.
Fashionistas began whispering about a possible Canadian entry for the chain after it began shipping its wares here earlier this year from its U.S. web site, Anthropologie.com.
The retailer, owned by trendy fashion retailer Urban Outfitters Inc., operates more than 100 Anthropologie retail stores in the United States and its direct business ships to 34 countries.
The flagship store will be about 12,000 square feet split between two levels at the 100 Yorkville at Bellair complex, a new mixed-use development combining retail and residential condominiums.
Jane Baldwin, vice-president of retail leasing and investment sales at Lennard Commercial Realty, also confirmed the addition of a flagship Teatro Verde store and a two-level Sunglass Hut at the complex.
Anthropologie sells women's casual apparel and accessories, home furnishings, decor and gifts, and is one of the rare bright spots in U.S. fashion retail this year. For the second quarter ended July 31, parent company Urban Outfitters of Philadelphia posted an earnings boost of 24% and sales rose 22% to US$348.4-million from US$285.6-million.
Same-store sales, which tallies performance at outlets open at least a year, rose a solid 14% at Anthropologie in the quarter.
Last week Jeffries & Co. Inc. analyst Randal J. Konik raised his rating on Urban Outfitters to buy from hold.
"Despite the tough environment, (Urban Outfitters) continues to gain share across its three core brands through a differentiated, on-trend assortment along with a unique shopping experience," he wrote in a note to clients.
