  • Twelve Malls in Retail Renaissance
    Business In Vancouver: Printable story Page 1 of 5 Published August 14, 2012 RETAIL AND MANUFACTURING Twelve Malls in Retail Renaissance Boom in expansion and overhaul of enclosed malls hits Metro Vancouver By Glen Korstrom Vancouver's enclosed retail sector is undergoing a boom with a dozen malls across the region either being built or expanding. Retail analysts say that it has been a long time since there has been so much activity in the enclosed mall retail sector but that the renaissance in new space does not necessarily mean that there will be a glut of retail space or that current retailers will suffer lost sales. New malls, such as the outlet-style mall that the Vancouver International Airport Authority and McArthurGlen Group are planning to build near Vancouver International Airport, target a new niche and lure shoppers that might normally have shopped at a conventional regional mall, said Thomas Consultants managing principal and retail consultant Michael Penalosa. "They're creating a new destination," he said. "Sure, there's more retail, but they're trying to grab a new type of customer segment – one which is looking for specific goods at a specific price point." He pointed to Colliers International statistics released earlier this year showing that Vancouver has comparatively little enclosed retail square footage per capita compared with Toronto. The study showed that Toronto has 24.11 square feet of mall and power centre retail space per person. In Vancouver, there is only 13.73 square feet of mall or power centre retail space per person. Much new square footage is also planned around rapid transit.
