Oakridge Centre's interior

Oakridge Centre (and formerly known as Oakridge Mall) is a shopping centre in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is located at the intersection of West 41st Avenue and Cambie Street.

It was originally opened in 1959 by Woodward's Stores which anchored the centre until it was sold to Hudson's Bay in 1993. A Target was originally planned but however in 2015 Target Canada filed for bankruptcy protection and announced the closing of all stores cancelling 4 locations.

Redevelopment

Oakridge Centre is now the centre point for the Oakridge Municipal TownCentre Project, part of a Vancouver urban densification project creating a new high density region with tall apartment towers much like Vancouver's West End in an area now occupied and to be surrounded by single family residences. The application was approved in 2014 and construction is scheduled to begin by the end of 2018.

Transportation access

The Oakridge–41st Avenue Station on the Canada Line is under the plaza at the southwest corner of 41st and Cambie. The mall is also served by TransLink bus service along 41st Avenue and Cambie Street. Parking can be accessed from any of the surrounding major roads.
