Challenge

To transform a big box retail space into a luxury spa with a limited budget.

Strategy

In search for an ideal location for an upscale spa catering to Calgary’s affluent demographic, The Spa Ritual — a company focused on customer service and environmental sustainability — became interested in existing retail spaces in a suburban retail complex. As similar projects were rare, the owner sought Knightsbridge’s assistance to confirm the feasibility of their vision. Once a site was chosen, our expertise in negotiations and municipal planning allowed for accelerated procurement and construction timelines.

Solutions

Once site and feasibility analyses corroborated the viability of the location, Knightsbridge supported The Spa Ritual in a successful lease negotiation and in acquiring necessary regulatory approvals. Exterior and interior design development included extensive detailed millwork within a tight budget. Knightsbridge oversaw the process from conception to installation, including all fabrication and construction.

Outcome

The 4,000 square foot flagship location opened in 2019 on time and on budget.
