Imagine having one central place to find any health-related or organic products and services - both traditional and non-traditional.

For this component of Cornell Gates, what is envisioned is having a central location where one can find any health-related products and services they desire. Why not work with retailers to develop new lines of organic and environmentally friendly products, available exclusively at Cornell Gates?

Possible types of businesses include (but are not limited to):

• Luxury Spa – a 50,000 sq. ft. location that becomes a social spot, where friends and family can meet and relax. Our concept will combine both the medical and the entertainment spa model (i.e. Cornelia Day Resort )
  
• Yoga Centres (i.e. Pure Yoga)
• Health Food & Supplement Shops (i.e. GNC)
• Athletic Wear Shops (i.e. Lulemon Athletica, Mountain Equipment Co-op, Patagonia, Ecco Shoes)
• Ergonomic Product Stores (i.e. West Elm, EQ3, Terrain, OSIM)
• Furniture Stores ( i.e. Sleep Country Canada)
• Eco-friendly cars (i.e. Zipcar, Vespa scooters)
• Electronics (i.e. Apple store)
• Natural/Organic Product Supermarkets (i.e. Whole Foods, Slow Food Market, Tesco Fresh, Sobey’s Fresh, The 100-Mile Market)
• Personal Care preparations (i.e. Pure Pharmacy Health Center, Bath & Body Works, Kiehl’s, Aveda Institute)
• Massage therapists
• Drug Stores (i.e. Shoppers Drug Mart)
• Bookstore (i.e. Chapters Indigo)
• Traditional Asian Herb Stores
• Acupuncturists
• Other establishments offering entertainment, education, and lifestyle products

 
Other examples of retail establishments include those catering to spiritual & emotional well being such as meditation centers (i.e. as provided by the Shaolin Monks) and Preventive Care/Stress Management centres. We won’t be dictating what needs to go where – as long as a proprietor is focused on Health & Wellness, they will have a home at Cornell Gates.

With respect to restaurants and food, one can expect to find restaurants that offer organic foods, soups, salads, high fibre low fat foods, foods high in anti-oxidants, high class gourmet restaurants, luxury lounges, and healthy sandwich shops. If you want to find wheat grass it will be available!

All of our retail, both large and small, will be “going green” and will use the latest technologies to reduce and eliminate waste generated from their stores and by their customers. This is an integral part of our holistic, healthy living concept.
