Oakridge Park, Canada’s largest redevelopment, is now open, bringing together global retail, dynamic dining, and immersive cultural experiences in a single, interconnected environment.

Developed by QuadReal Property Group and Westbank, the highly anticipated project officially welcomed its first visitors this morning, marked by a ribbon cutting ceremony alongside Mayor Ken Sim and key stakeholders.

“Today marks an important milestone for Oakridge Park and for Vancouver,” said Chrystal Burns, Executive Vice President, Canadian Retail Experience at QuadReal Property Group. “This opening represents years of collaboration across partners, designers, and the community to bring forward a destination that reflects how people want to gather, shop and spend time. Oakridge Park has been thoughtfully curated to bring together global retail, local culinary talent, and cultural programming in a way that feels both elevated and accessible for residents and visitors alike.”

With its doors now open, Oakridge Park shifts from vision to reality as a cultural hub designed for discovery, connection, and everyday experience. Across the 28-acre site, visitors and locals can experience a sophisticated showcase of 100+ premier brands across 650,000 square feet including:

Time Out Market has also opened, bringing together 18 of the best local chefs, restaurateurs and cultural talents under one roof to create the newest culinary and cultural landmark in the city. The market features a curated mix of local concepts including Feenie’s, Mee Bar, Lunch Lady, MaKaam, DownLow Chicken, Barnacle by Bar Bravo, Peacock, Via Tevere, Kishimoto, SANTO TACO, Heritage Asian Eatery, Mello, Boba Run, Pasta e Basta, PiDGiN, Blnd Tger, España, Beaucoup Bakery Café and The Creamery by Beaucoup.

The offerings at Oakridge Park expand well outside traditional retail offerings. With a big focus on culture and experience, Oakridge Park will feature four public art displays, including a mix of murals and sculptural work, throughout the 28-acre centre. From local and international artists, these pieces bring a mix of color and identity to the development. Key pieces include:

• First Ancestors: Musqueam artist Diamond Point’s First Ancestors transforms the transit entrance glazing and walls into a contemporary Coast Salish statement. The work connects movement and place with ancestral knowledge, making every arrival a cultural acknowledgement as well as a physical one.
• Glyphs of the Epicure: Howie Tsui’s Glyphs of the Epicure is a series of surreal portraits — culinary ingredients and cooking tools CNC-etched into charred wood, revealing the bare grain beneath. Each figure works like a pictogram, translating regional cuisines into characters decipherable like ancient inscriptions, echoing the nearly lost craft of hand-carved mahjong tiles.
• Opalescent Cumulus Swirl: Haegue Yang’s Opalescent Cumulus Swirl hovers beneath the central skylight as a luminous formation of 226 opalescent venetian blinds. Capturing shifting daylight by day and glowing from within at night, the installation transforms the atrium into an immersive landscape of colour, crystalline shadows, and hypnotic movement.
• Bush Capsules: Bush Capsules by Brian Jungen creates a field of large-scale sculptural canopies at the rooftop park. Built from reconfigured everyday forms, they blur design, shelter and symbolism, inviting pause, conversation and a different sense of scale outdoors.

In addition to these commissioned public art works, Oakridge Park will feature:

• Kio’s Wall: Kio’s Wall is a large-scale installation built to respond, transform and accumulate meaning. Step into the Living Canvas and watch your movement paint itself in watercolour. Fold paper into form and watch it take flight in AR. Each visit leaves a mark — on the wall, and in the space.
• Sky Stage: Positioned high within the South Atrium, the Sky Stage brings live programming into the heart of Oakridge Park. Home to a Steinway Spirio player piano, it transforms vertical space into a shared experience, giving every visit the possibility of something unplanned, energetic and entirely its own.
• Glass Art Installations by Lasvit: Inspired by the beauty and rhythm of the natural world, renowned Czech glassmaking company Lasvit has produced a collection of four art installations for Oakridge Park. Among the highlights is Glass Meadow designed by Petra Sošťáková, an installation capturing the fragile moment just before beauty fades. Reflecting the short-lived intensity of blooming flowers, delicate glass floral forms unfold above the East and West Gallerias, guiding visitors through a luminous landscape that glows with light.

“At Oakridge Park, art is at the center of the experience,” said Burns. “Through our collaboration with local and global artists, we are creating immersive installations that showcase creativity and diversity, giving visitors and locals a cultural experience on par with the best in the world.”

Beginning this week, Oakridge Park will host a year-round calendar of community programming and events, including activations centered around food, wellness, jewelry, fashion and the holidays. A calendar of events can be found at oakridgepark.com/events/.
