VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – There are some major changes coming to the retail landscape in downtown Vancouver this year.
One of the most anticipated arrivals is Nordstrom. The 230,000-square-foot flagship store will open in the Fall in what was previously Sears in Pacific Centre.
Charles Gauthier with the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association says a lot more luxury retailers are on the way, as well.
“It’s been driven, in large part, by the increase in Chinese visitors coming to our city and looking to buy luxury brands, as well as our own population. There’s also the aspirational buyers that in some point in time, they do want to look at buying luxury brands.”
Holt Renfrew is also planning a major renovation and expansion this year.
Also this year, an outlet mall is set to open near YVR.
