The Downtown core is experiencing major rejuvenation with several large construction projects currently
underway. The retail environment surrounding Pacific Centre is attracting newcomers and revitalizing the
shopping experience in the neighbourhood.

Construction is in full-swing at the corner of West Georgia Street and Hornby Street where Pacific Centre’s
iconic glass dome will be replaced by 14,000 square feet of retail podium. The Four Seasons Hotel
vacated the hotel portion of the shopping centre earlier this year. Cadillac Fairview has announced plans
to renovate the 28-storey hotel tower for a new hotelier. H&M and Sephora both expanded their Pacific
Centre locations this year; the Swedish fashion retailer adds a full floor to their store — bringing their retail
footprint to 40,000 square feet over three levels; Sephora renovated their location at the northwest corner
of the mall and now occupies 7,000 square feet.

Earlier this year, UGG Australia closed its doors on Robson Street and is now taken over by Lululemon-
adding 2,300 square feet of additional space to their 4,500 square foot store on the corner of Burrard Street
and Robson Street. Foot Locker is confirmed to be the tenant at the new retail building at 1067 Robson
Street, occupying 20,000 square feet. New tenants to the shopping corridor include OVO, Uncle Tetsu,
Oomomo, and Mountain Warehouse.

Vancouver’s “Luxury Zone” bordering the streets of West Georgia, Alberni, Thurlow, and Hornby, had a
significant influx of tenants such as Van Cleef Arpels, Oliver Peoples, and Off-White. Hermes’ flagship store
relocates to a two-storey location on the corner of Burrard Street and West Georgia Street.

Quadreal’s “The Post” development at the corner of Homer Street and West Georgia Street will be the
future location of Amazon’s Vancouver offices as well as a Loblaw’s City Market — the 50,000 square foot
store will become the largest grocery store in Downtown Vancouver.

Gastown | Railtown
Gastown, a historically renowned destination for tourists and locals alike, has evolved into a trendy part of
Downtown Vancouver. The retail landscape has evolved with the influx of boutiques, up-scale restaurants,
cafés, stylish art galleries and unique fashion retailers. Herschel, Le Labo, and Gravity Pope are notable new
retailers in this area.

South Granville is a sophisticated shopping district where premier brands have assembled outside the
Downtown Core. High-end apparel and furniture retailers such as Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, EQ3,
and Anthropologie have established themselves in this affluent shopping district. There has been some
recent activity in the market as higher rates are forcing some retailers to reconsider their presence in the
market. Typically vacancy rates are very low as retailers benefit from the central location and high traffic.

Kitsilano (Kits)
Within close proximity to The University of British Columbia, this area is popular with students and lifestyle
conscious residents who enjoy Kitsilano for its organic food markets, fashion, eateries and close proximity to
beaches along the south shore of English Bay. New retail tenants to Kits and its main retail corridor — West
4th Avenue — include the first Vancouver locations for eCommerce turned brick-and-mortar retailers Casper
Sleep Shop, Warby Parker, and KNIX.

Suburban Markets Overview

THE AMAZING BRENTWOOD | SHAPE PROPERTIES

Suburban Markets Overview
The suburban markets have seen significant retail and residential growth over the past year,
most notably Richmond, Burnaby and New Westminster. With the exception of high demand
lease opportunities in close proximity to rapid transit stations, the overall tone of retail leasing
activity in the suburban markets has retailers cautiously evaluating new locations.

Burnaby | New Westminster
The Amazing Brentwood project in North Burnaby is nearly complete and has started
opening stores to the public. Shape Properties’ re-developed shopping centre houses
1,100,000 square feet of retail and 500,000 square feet of office space. One SkyTrain stop
away, construction started earlier this year at ONNI’s Gilmore Place development along
Lougheed Highway and Gilmore Street; this project is comprised of 10 towers with 450,000
square feet retail and over 1,000,000 square feet of office space. Over in Central Burnaby,
Anthem Properties and Beedie Group are redeveloping Metrotown at Station Square.
Started in 2012, it will be fully completed in 2021 and will incorporate seven towers with
1,500 homes and over 450,000 square feet of new retail.

New Westminster continues to see strong multifamily residential growth and with it, increased demand from consumers. Uptown (Sixth
Street & Sixth Avenue) and Downtown New West continues to be the most desirable area for retailers. The other notable retail is the new
Brewery District development; the redevelopment of the Labatt Brewery is a nine-acre site centred around Sapperton Skytrain Station
