Highfield Square, also known as Highfield Square Shopping Centre, was a shopping centre located in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Highfield Square was owned and operated by Crombie REIT before being sold to the city of Moncton. The complex is currently being torn down.[3]

Future

The property is currently closed down and the city is preparing to demolish and build an entertainment complex. In November 2014, it was stated that three-quarters of the demolition was complete and the full demolition of the mall was expected by Christmas.[4]

History

The mall contained at its peak over 60 stores and services. The major anchor during its lifetime included:

Other prominent tenants included Radioshack, and Reitmans.

After the mall closed its movie theatres in the 1970s, it converted the area into a large food court with many restaurants, such as Pizza Delight, A&W, Deluxe, Tim Hortons, and Ed's Sub. The mall mascot was Hifie the Bear.
