The retail environment surrounding Pacific Centre is attracting newcomers and revitalizing the shopping experience in the neighbourhood. Construction is in full-swing at the corner of West Georgia Street and Hornby Street where Pacific Centre’s iconic glass dome will be replaced by 14,000 square feet of retail podium. The Four Seasons Hotel vacated the hotel portion of the shopping centre earlier this year. Cadillac Fairview has announced plans to renovate the 28-storey hotel tower for a new hotelier. H&M and Sephora both expanded their Pacific Centre locations this year; the Swedish fashion retailer adds a full floor to their store — bringing their retail footprint to 40,000 square feet over three levels; Sephora renovated their location at the northwest corner of the mall and now occupies 7,000 square feet. Earlier this year, UGG Australia closed its doors on Robson Street and is now taken over by Lululemon- adding 2,300 square feet of additional space to their 4,500 square foot store on the corner of Burrard Street and Robson Street. Foot Locker is confirmed to be the tenant at the new retail building at 1067 Robson Street, occupying 20,000 square feet. New tenants to the shopping corridor include OVO, Uncle Tetsu, Oomomo, and Mountain Warehouse. Vancouver’s “Luxury Zone” bordering the streets of West Georgia, Alberni, Thurlow, and Hornby, had a significant influx of tenants such as Van Cleef Arpels, Oliver Peoples, and Off-White. Hermes’ flagship store relocates to a two-storey location on the corner of Burrard Street and West Georgia Street. Quadreal’s “The Post” development at the corner of Homer Street and West Georgia Street will be the future location of Amazon’s Vancouver offices as well as a Loblaw’s City Market — the 50,000 square foot store will become the largest grocery store in Downtown Vancouver. Gastown | Railtown Gastown, a historically renowned destination for tourists and locals alike, has evolved into a trendy part of Downtown Vancouver. The retail landscape has evolved with the influx of boutiques, up-scale restaurants, cafés, stylish art galleries and unique fashion retailers. Herschel, Le Labo, and Gravity Pope are notable new retailers in this area.

High-end apparel and furniture retailers such as Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, EQ3, and Anthropologie have established themselves in this affluent shopping district. There has been some recent activity in the market as higher rates are forcing some retailers to reconsider their presence in the market. Typically vacancy rates are very low as retailers benefit from the central location and high traffic. Kitsilano (Kits) Within close proximity to The University of British Columbia, this area is popular with students and lifestyle conscious residents who enjoy Kitsilano for its organic food markets, fashion, eateries and close proximity to beaches along the south shore of English Bay. New retail tenants to Kits and its main retail corridor — West 4th Avenue — include the first Vancouver locations for eCommerce turned brick-and-mortar retailers Casper Sleep Shop, Warby Parker, and KNIX.
