Silcon Construction Portfolio – Project DD21/22: Upper Canada Mall

Back-to-Base & Re-Demise | 4,300 sq. ft. Retail Space Transformation | Delivered Tenant-Ready White-Box

Trusted on high-traffic commercial sites

Project Overview

This project involved a strategic back-to-base re-demise of a 4,300 sq. ft. retail space to support two incoming tenants. The work focused on efficient shell preparation, new infrastructure, and code-compliant separations to create independent, high-performance tenant environments. The final handover provided a turnkey white-box space optimized for future build-outs, functionality, and long-term operational success—all completed with minimal disruption in an active mall setting.
