Vancouver, BC: QuadReal Property Group is pleased to announce that the purchase of Vancouver’s Oakridge Centre from Ivanhoé Cambridge closed today.

“Oakridge Centre is an iconic property with transformative potential,” said Remco Daal, President of QuadReal’s Canadian real estate division. “It is one of Canada’s premier malls, and has been an important part of Vancouver’s evolving community fabric for generations. We look forward to building upon its remarkable legacy.”
