Vancouver’s Oakridge Park to welcome Louis Vuitton, Prada and more

Vancouver’s Oakridge Park, Canada’s largest redevelopment endeavour, unveiled this month its lineup of inaugural brands set to grace to new shopping destination in spring 2025.

Among them are luxury names such as Louis Vuitton, Prada, Brunello Cucinelli, Moncler, Versace, and Max Mara. Joining them will be Maison Margiela, Miu Miu, Christian Louboutin, and Alexander Wang, marking the first standalone luxury fashion boutiques in Vancouver.

The journey of Oakridge Park began in 2017 with a partnership between QuadReal Property Group and Westbank with plans to transform the former Oakridge Centre into a vibrant town center. Upon completion, the retail portion of the centre is expected to total 850,000 square feet and feature over 140 leading global brands, including flagship and boutiques stores.

The retail destination has been open for 65 years and was celebrated as Vancouver’s “most stylish shopping destination” and consistently ranked among the top two shopping centres, in terms of sales per square foot, in Canada.

“In the world of luxury retail, Oakridge Park in Vancouver stands out as a global exemplar. Located in one of the most livable cities, it features a unique nine-acre park at its heart, blending nature with the fusion of East and West cultures for an unparalleled experience that will further build our economy, and attract diverse consumer bases from around the world,” said Andy Clydesdale, executive vice president of global retail at QuadReal Property Group. 

“We have so much to be proud of with this ambitious project. It sets a new standard for transformative projects by seamlessly integrating retail, residential, and sustainability elements through innovative design and functionality. Oakridge Park promises a holistic and exceptional cultural environment for both residents and visitors, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of luxury retail real estate.”

In addition to its retail offerings, the centre will feature a Time Out Market, the second for Canada, offering culinary cuisine from across the globe in a culturally immersive environment inspired by traditional European food halls and contemporary Asian markets.

Moreover, Oakridge Park is set to become a cultural hub for Vancouver, hosting the annual Lunar New Year Celebration at the Fairmont Pacific Rim, now in its sixth year. Anticipation is also building for Oakridge Park’s residential phase, slated to open alongside the retail complex in spring 2025. 

“Oakridge Park goes beyond physical retail, our aim is to offer an extraordinary experience” added Ian Gillespie, founder and CEO of Westbank. “We hope the new Oakridge Park will serve as a cultural hub for Vancouver that the world will look to for inspiration.”
