Aritzia to Open 40,000-Square-Foot, Four-Level Vancouver Flagship at CF Pacific Centre in 2027

The move anchors Cadillac Fairview’s reconfiguration of the vacant Nordstrom site into several large retail spaces.

Overview

  • The flagship will occupy the prominent Robson and Howe corner within the former Nordstrom footprint at CF Pacific Centre.
  • Demolition and subdivision of the roughly 230,000-square-foot former department store are underway into about four large units, with Aritzia’s store representing just under 20% of the total area.
  • Aritzia describes the site as one of its most expansive and immersive destinations and teases a casual‑yet‑elevated in‑store dining concept.
  • CEO Jennifer Wong positions the Vancouver flagship as a key step in the brand’s growth strategy following major openings in New York and Chicago.
  • Cadillac Fairview CEO Sal Iacono calls the location a landmark for the mall, and no additional tenants for the remaining units have been announced.
