Oakridge Centre's interior

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. It is one of the two largest malls located within the city of Vancouver, the other being CF Pacific Centre, and along with Pacific Centre are two of the most profitable shopping centres in Canada.[1]

Redevelopment

Oakridge Centre is now the centre point for the Oakridge Municipal Town Centre 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 2022 through 2025. The Design Architect is Henriquez Partners (see Gregory Henriquez) of Vancouver and the Executive Architect is Adamson Architects from Toronto, the redevelopment estimated to cost over $5 billion.[2]
