Oakridge Park is officially opening later this month
Oakridge Park is set to open its doors to shoppers on May 28.
The development, one of the largest in the city’s history, includes retail, residential and commercial space as well as a public park. The retail footprint alone measures some 650,000 square feet and includes several unique-to-the-centre brand boutiques.
In a 30-second announcement video on the Vancouver shopping centre’s website, a list of 50 brands was teased as being scheduled to open May 28. Doors are to open at 11 a.m.
The list of bold-name businesses includes Time Out Market , the much-anticipated food court concept that’s been long in the works for the new Oakridge development.
An elevated, 50,000 square foot dining area, Time Out Market is expected to include 18 kitchens, a coffee counter and a dessert offering, and more than 1,000 seats. The new dining space is also slated to include three bars and an outdoor terrace.
High-profile names from Vancouver’s food scene, such as Rob Feenie, The Lunch Lady and DownLow Chicken, are among the confirmed tenants of the dining space.
Skewing toward a luxury shopper, the preliminary list of grand-opening stores includes designer brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co. and Rolex. Hometown companies such as Aritzia, Lululemon and Arc’teryx are also represented on the early list of shopping options.
Additional details and dates for the remaining stores have yet to be announced. An estimated 140 retailers, restaurants and businesses are set to have outposts at Oakridge Park.
