First Look: No Frills at Cliffcrest Plaza

At First Capital, we are committed to revitalizing our properties and curating a vibrant tenant mix to serve the neighbourhoods in which we operate. Our most recent property enhancement was completed at Cliffcrest Plaza in Scarborough, Ontario where we introduced a brand new space for No Frills Grocery Store.

Led by our construction and tenant coordination teams, the work involved merging two former units—previously an office space and a quick service restaurant. To create an open-concept layout for No Frills, we removed the dividing wall, marking the completion of demolition and the start of key landlord work.

Our design went beyond interior demolition. We upgraded electrical systems, modified the storefront, and adjusted the rear elevation to support better loading access. A key improvement was the installation of a new eight-foot loading door in a more efficient location, enabling smoother operations for the grocery store. We also added a new sign band across the storefront to visually align with neighbouring tenants such as Circle K, Dollarama, and Global Pet Foods—creating a cohesive and attractive streetscape. 

As we neared completion of the shell space, we maintained close coordination with the incoming tenant. Introducing No Frills to Cliffcrest Plaza represents a meaningful change to the property and underscores First Capital’s commitment to providing curated necessity-based services while elevating the local shopping experience. Throughout the project, our team was actively involved to ensure a smooth transition from planning to construction.
