What’s missing from The Bowl right now?
For as good as The Bowl is… it’s still heavily food-focused.And that’s the gap.
Right now, you go there to eat, hang out, maybe catch a drink—but there’s not much reason to stay and shop or make a full day out of it.
That’s exactly what’s (hopefully) about to change.
Is The Bowl actually expanding?
Short answer: yes—just not officially announced yet.Here’s what we know:
- The Bowl is 100% leased
- It’s seeing around 19,000 visitors per day
- A second phase is already being planned
What kind of retail is coming?
While nothing is finalized yet, the vision is pretty clear.Think:
- Athleisure brands
- Skincare and wellness
- Jewelry and boutique retail
- A higher-end steakhouse concept
What’s happening with the concert venue?

The venue now officially has a name:
👉 TD Amp Ballantyne
- ~5,000-person outdoor venue
- Full summer concert lineup
- Opening season kicked off April 11th
Why does this matter for Ballantyne real estate?
This is where things get interesting.When you combine:
- High foot traffic
- Ongoing development
