Oakridge Park, the retail and residential redevelopment under construction in Vancouver, is scheduled to open its shopping mall component on May 28, developers QuadReal Property Group and Westbank announced.

The project, located at the former Oakridge Centre site, is part of a broader redevelopment expected to total about five million square feet by its planned completion in 2029. Developers have previously estimated the full project cost at approximately $6.5 billion.

According to project details released by QuadReal and Westbank, the first phase opening later this month will include about 2.8 million square feet of completed space. That phase includes roughly 650,000 square feet of retail space, close to 1,400 residential units, and about 720,000 square feet of office space.

Retail tenants announced for the mall include Louis Vuitton and Aritzia. The public opening is scheduled for 11 a.m. on May 28.

The development will also include a 3.6-hectare municipal park built on the project rooftop. Developers said portions of the park will be open when the retail component launches, while additional construction phases continue through the decade.
