This move is very perplexing to me. I can see why the Bay would want to pull out of the HBC centre, but I'm not exactly sure why they think that putting a high-profile American luxury name right beside their own flagship and, far away from where most luxury shopping happens, makes sense. Do they want to cede Yorkville to Holts without a fight? Maybe they're betting that the Eaton Centre will be the new luxury retail destination, after Nordstroms anchors the top of it, but this seems like a bit of a gamble.
