Oakridge Park Officially Opens—And Vancouver May Never Shop The Same Way Again

After years of anticipation, Oakridge Park has officially opened its doors—and Vancouver’s retail, dining and cultural landscape just got a major glow-up.

Marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim and key stakeholders earlier today, the massive 28-acre development is now welcoming visitors into what is being positioned as one of the most ambitious lifestyle destinations in North America.

Developed by QuadReal Property Group and Westbank, Oakridge Park blends luxury fashion, immersive art, elevated dining and experiential programming into one sleek, future-forward destination designed to feel less like a mall and more like a mini city within the city.

And yes—the shopping lineup is as major as expected.

The newly opened centre features more than 100 brands across 650,000 square feet, including luxury heavyweights like Chanel, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Tiffany & Co., Bvlgari, Valentino, Versace, Loewe and Moncler, alongside contemporary favourites like Aritzia, Veronica Beard, Sandro, lululemon, Sephora and Sporting Life.

But Oakridge Park is aiming for far more than retail therapy.

One of the biggest draws? Vancouver’s first-ever Time Out Market, bringing together 18 of the city’s top chefs, restaurateurs and food concepts under one roof. The culinary lineup includes local favourites like Feenie’s, Lunch Lady, DownLow Chicken, Barnacle by Bar Bravo, PiDGiN, Via Tevere, Kishimoto, Heritage Asian Eatery, Beaucoup Bakery Café and more—creating what may quickly become Vancouver’s newest foodie obsession.

Art and culture are also deeply woven into the experience. Throughout the property, visitors will encounter large-scale public art installations from celebrated local and international artists, including Musqueam artist Diamond Point, Brian Jungen, Haegue Yang and Howie Tsui. From glowing sculptural skylight installations to interactive digital walls and rooftop art canopies, the space feels intentionally immersive at nearly every turn.

And this is only the beginning.

Oakridge Park plans to roll out a year-round calendar of events and activations spanning fashion, food, wellness, music and culture, positioning itself not just as a shopping destination—but as a new social and cultural hub for Vancouver.

In a city constantly evolving its identity, Oakridge Park feels like a bold statement about where Vancouver is heading next: more global, more experiential and more connected than ever before. —Noa Nichol
