Here’s the latest on Oakridge Mall, focusing on the Vancouver redevelopment commonly referred to as Oakridge Park.

• Opening status and timeline

  • Oakridge Park in Vancouver is undergoing a phased opening after more than a decade of redevelopment, with public access beginning in late May 2026 and full completion anticipated by 2029. This phased approach aims to gradually bring retailers, residences, and community spaces online.[2][5]
  • Earlier plans had targeted a 2025 opening, but delays pushed the broader completion timeline into the 2029 range as construction and phased occupancies progressed.[2]

• Retail lineup and tenant mix

  • The redeveloped Oakridge Park is positioning itself as a major mixed-use hub, with luxury and high-end Canadian brands among the initial and forthcoming tenants; several large Canadian retailers have been reported as joining the lineup.[9]
  • The project’s retail component is reported to be largely preleased, underscoring strong demand for the upscale, community-focused center being created around the Oakridge site.[1]

• Historical context and scope

  • Oakridge Park represents one of Vancouver’s most ambitious redevelopment efforts, transforming the former Oakridge Centre into a multi-use district that includes significant residential and office components in addition to retail.[3][8]
  • The redevelopment has been described by developers as moving toward a new “town center” concept for the area, though observers note the scale and pace of such projects can be highly variable and subject to broader market conditions.[3][2]

• Notable events

  • The project has experienced several delays tied to construction challenges, supply chain factors, and broader industry disruptions, contributing to the updated timeline for full completion.[2]
