The future of malls is here and I like it! Think of Oakridge park as the exact opposite of Kingsgate, now don't get me wrong, I love Kingsgate for what it is and I also love Oakridge Park for what it is - completely high-end designer stores that are beautiful to window shop in and on occasion worth a splurge. For someone looking to shop more more everyday items, this ain't your mall so know that before going. The more reasonably priced clothing shops that I go to more frequently here are Sporting Goods, Alo, Lululemon, Browns, Coach and Sephora. I will say the Sephora is definitely on the smaller side but they always have what I need. You will find some good deals at Sporting Goods. High end stores include places like Loewe, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Mui Mui, Dolce and more! I love just admiring all the beautiful clothes, bags and shoes! You will also find the world's best Safeway here, it's huge, has tons of awesome takeaway food and for cheap! They also have a dim sum bar. The parking is free for 3 hours too which is a bonus and the lot is huge and has indicators for what stalls are free. If you really wanna ball out you can do valet. There are grand pianos in the mall and beautiful stages and art pieces. There's an absolutely stunning roof garden that's massive and has plenty of seating. I can't wait till it's all done and finished so the mall is complete. My favourite part of the mall is Time Out Market! So many great places to try from local chefs! You'll see my review of that on the Time Out page. All in all I'm really loving the new look, vibe but you have to go in knowing that it's gonna be a pricey experience! read more

The new Oakridge Park (the artist formerly known as Oakridge Centre) isn't even complete yet, but so far it is absolutely amazing. It is beautiful & gorgeous, opulent & dripping in elegance. The decor outstanding, the soft lighting, the flooring supreme, grand artwork throughout, stunning high-end retailers & a diverse food hall. All the big players in retail are right here - Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Prada, Dior, BLVGARI, Christian Louboutin, Moncler, Tiffany, & more. This is only the first phase of this massive $6.5 billion dollar redevelopment project. Some issues - Oakridge Park if you're reading this - turn the AC up. Or get a few industrial type fans set up on the ceiling to circulate air throughout the mall. It was stuffy throughout the entire mall. Due to the extremely high ceiling setup, fans will be required. You're welcome. One other thing, the wooden seating decor (see my pics) at one of the future entertainment areas - reminds me of the pews in older churches = very uncomfortable. Put some padding down on the seats for people sit on. & my butt won't hurt. At the Time Out Market Vancouver food hall, I had a Fennie Burger - it was too salty. However, Mello donuts continues to deliver the finest donuts in Metro Vancouver - don't miss out on taking a few home on your way out. Time Out Market is an extremely pricey food court. I'd rather spend this kind of cash on a full on restaurant experience. However, the food court options are spectacular ie Lunch Lady, Espana, Mee Bar, Via Tevere Pizzeria, Downlow Chicken & more. For dessert try - Mello donuts & Beaucoup Bakery Cafe. In terms of the layout of this food hall compared to The Amazing Brentwood Mall, it disappoints. The seating arrangement is too crowded. Take note, there's a few cocktail bars scattered throughout the mall. So if you're grown & sexy & feel like chilling out at the bar - cheers. Otherwise it's a stunning mall & I can't wait to see what comes in via the next phase. Ps bring all 5 of your credit cards - it's mighty high-end in here all the way. read more

I went on a Monday morning during FIFA to check out the newly opened mall. It got off to a bad start: the skytrain exit was still under construction with hoarding covering the stairway to street level. How is that station going to serve the population that is about to descend on this mega-complex? From the street level, the mall entrance is grand and at the moment a bit empty and cavernous. Before entering I am greeted with "coming soon" signs on retail spaces. a foreshadowing of things to come... I wandered the retail level. It was beyond quiet, but it was a Monday morning. There were great hunks of the retail real estate hoarded behind pretty graphics on temporary walls. I stopped at a Christian Louboutin window admiring a pair of shoes when I was assaulted with a death glare from a dower sales person on the inside shewing me away. Overall I'd say the retail level has a tranquil ostentatiousness that well serves the many luxury brands, and lululemon. I then went upstairs to the food court branded "Time Out", where soundtrack of a FIFA football match was blaring over the sound system throughout: a stark contrast to the zen grand hall of luxury retail one floor below. I wandered through quickly noting none of the vendors branding was anywhere in sight. Each kiosk appearing identical to the next. The only difference being the menu items themselves. I felt I had stumbled across an incongruous oasis of toxic masculinity: a massive sports bar. After a quick walk about I headed back to the skytrain via the grand second floor exit. I won't be returning anytime soon... read more

I really wish I knew more about this mall before we ventured here. I heard how pretty it is, but there really is only a few pieces that were of note. We walked from Queen Elizabeth Park, mind you we started from BC Place. Yes it was our choice to walk and check out neighborhoods. With that being said, there were only a handful of upscale shops open. The food court is not the typical fast food but their version. They were all restaurant types-but their version of "fast". I never heard of a single one. I definitely would try these places had we not eaten. This was perhaps their saving grace. read more

after years of construction, oakridge park has finally opened, and it bears little resemblance to the old oakridge centre. aside from the location itself, hardly any trace of the former mall remains. in its place is a bright, airy, and unapologetically upscale retail destination that feels designed to compete with luxury shopping districts rather than traditional suburban malls. arriving can be a bit confusing, with numerous staff in brightly coloured vests directing vehicles and pedestrians through the still evolving site. despite the logistical challenges, the scale of the redevelopment is immediately apparent. the interiors are impressive, filled with natural light, soaring ceilings, and polished finishes. luxury brands dominate much of the retail mix, reinforcing the premium positioning of the project. time out market was by far the busiest area during my visit. lineups felt chaotic, crowds spilled into the aisles, and finding a table seemed almost impossible at peak times. the energy was undeniable, but so was the sense that everyone wanted to experience the newest attraction in the city at once. read more

Handful of upscale shops no one can afford anymore, yummy but overhyped and overpriced food court, and... that's it. It's very empty. Some nice art pieces but not worth a visit. More security than patrons, which makes it feel weird. There's a ton of construction still going on so it's hard to navigate the parking garages. read more

It's exciting to visit the new Oakridge Park after years of redevelopment. There are many traffic guides to direct us to the parking lot. It was quite packed and we felt like we were in a maze. As we finally got in the Park, we are impressed with the architectural designs and the spaciousness. Many brand names shops are opened. It has a main sitting area in different levels and would be perfect set up for performance within the Park. The food court has a long line up to get entry today. It's the most artfully and elegantly designed shopping mall in the greater Vancouver area. Definitely worth visiting. read more

All hype. Review of Oakridge Park Time Out Food Court Let me tell ya! It is a beautiful place, nice European feel to it but badly laid out and very poorly signed. To find the washrooms is a feat in itself and once you're there you have some sort of Rosetta Stone signage that takes you a while to figure out what's the men's and what's the females ( and of course they've got PC correct welcome signs for any gender!) The seating plan is nothing short of ridiculous as they've put giant tables in the center and you have to walk half a mile to get to your spot after picking up your food. They also have high stools and metal tables which are wobbly, so much so that the slightest bump against them sends your coffee slopping all over the table. And the food? Well as almost everyone has said, it's way overpriced for what you get, And they've gone over the top with electronic gizmos to let you know when your food is ready ... buzzing you from across the park to let you know your food is ready and getting cold while you fight your way to get it. Just the worst set up imaginable They leave it standing on the counter no matter what and my factory-bought fries were only warm when I got them back to my table. Warm fries and a so-so burger from Feenie's left me underwhelmed. I've had better at A&W and these were way more expensive than the already expensive A&W $60 for 3 burgers won't get many repeat customers. Plus they charge a buck for extra dips.. come on ... get real. Even though they shake you down with the price, they still can't help themselves with the electronic stuff, THEY DON'T TAKE CASH and then they have the nerve to embed a minimum tip option in the pay module..... at a fast food joint? A tourist with no credit card can't buy food there.. After the hype dies, so will this concept I fear, there's simply not enough people around with the sort of money it takes to sustain a viable long term business and it's very expensive to maintain all of that fancy electronic gear. I'll go back but I won't be in any hurry. read more

The Oakridge Mall has plenty of seating areas where you could enjoy people watching while having a nice lunch. The innovative design of space was indeed inspiring. Even though it was busy at noon, people were all over the place but not crowded. Security guards and hosts were pretty welcoming with smile. The selection of foods in the food court were eye opening - Italian, Chinese, Greek, Indian, bubble tea, donuts, Vietnamese pho, pizza and waygu beef! The price range were $$-$$$ suited for families and everyone actually. It would be fun to set a goal to try all of each of them every 2-3 days. read more

Oakridge Mall is amazing, I went to this watch store, Tag Heuer if i can remember, the owner is so kind and polite, showed me all kinds of watches, and even one priced at $11,400 dollars, i was quite shocked lol. We exchanged greetings, and even let me have a photo with a racing suit. The food court was awesome too, the Pidgin's Daily Fried Rice for $24 was so delicious, a fried rice with a pork blend, had a perfect fat to rice texture and taste, and not too dry. I would love to go again. read more

Mall is pretty dead during the coronavirus scare. Went for a nice walk in the parkade and they've actually torn down half of it. Pretty cool looking at that giant hole in the ground. There's also a brand new food court under construction in this part of the mall I didn't even know existed. It's close to where the medical towers are. Some stores are open inside the mall but they're the minority. Hopefully this virus goes away soon. read more

It is pretty sad that due to the construction or maybe other reasons, the few shops which drew me to Oakridge Mall have closed or are closing.

The construction has also made parking a nightmare. read more

Who even shops at Oakridge anymore? Theres nothing left! I used to come here about 10 years ago, when they actually had a variety of stores to choose from. Now its a complete ghost town, they don't even have a food court anymore. I'd honestly rather shop at ghetto Kingsgate mall! All thats remaining at Oakridge are a few crappy high end stores. What a complete waste of space. read more

Oakridge Park - The only cool thing left at Oakridge Mall - Shopping Centers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

The mall is starting to look like a ghost town as there were quite a few stores and restaurants in the food court that were gone. The mall itself is under going a major renovation in the next few years. A friend told me he wanted to pickup groceries at Safeway last week but found many of the shelves empty as they're getting prepared to move. Even Starbucks had a make shift location inside Safeway. There are several high end stores here. With the renovations, they are promoting it as 'reinventing' but it'll need more of reviving, if the stores are going to survive. Sad for those that are still there if business is slow. Tip: if you have to come to this mall by car, the entrance is off Cambie street and 41st. The skytrain station is conveniently located near the mall that's in a corridor. It's good that you avoid being outside especially if the weather is wet and cold out. read more

This mall is a bit sad. I know its tailor to older people and as well the things they sell are higher branded. I used to live near by and love to come here so I have seen the changes of the mall from what was kids friendly, family friendly to all age friendly to now only tailored to senior. For some reason, I feel that the mall is smaller than what it was before. My sister said its the same probably because I am bigger. Well I used to have a great time with the wishing fountain in the center of the mall and now they covered the wishing fountain and its more like a display item. No more wishing (guess they want people to be realistic)! There is a pro to this mall is the fact that its close to a skytrain. This is a plus for people who don't want to drive. read more

The mall is not particularly large but it has a decent selection of stores. There is a farmer's market/produce market as well as fish market on the side of the mall next to the public library. There is a sit down chinese restaurant as well as a decent chinese bakery. The "clientele" at this mall is shall we say "well mannered." As usual, you should google the store directory of the mall and check to see if the stores there are actually of interest to you before you decide whether or not you want to go there. Overall, it's a nice well maintained mall and if the expansion plans are to be believed this place will really be amazing in a a few years. read more

Aging mall still offers customers a good experience. I've been coming to Oakridge for over almost 40 years, and it is NOT aging gracefully. Cracking/fading floors, leaking ceilings, cratered asphalt in the parking lots and 1970's style exteriors all betray Oakridge's age. I keep coming back because Oakridge has a good selection of anchor stores: Safeway, Bay, Source, White Spot, Kin's Market and Crate and Barrel. They also have a healthy variety of specialty stores like Lego, EB Games, Apple and Henry Birks. The west-end of Vancouver deserves a modern, upscale mall. Hopefully, this will be addressed in future renovations. read more

My daughter and I came here the other day to explore, and although this was a smaller-scale mall compared to others, it still packs a punch, and we were impressed. There are larger, anchors stores like The Bay (which we love!) and Safeway and Crate & Barrel, a nice food court, and lots of designer, higher-end shops inside (ex, Tiffany's, Birks, Lululemon, Michael Kors, DKNY, Armani Exchange, Coach, L'Occitane, Aveda, and tons more). I liked how immaculate the mall was, and how the massive sky light brings in so much natural light. I must add, too, how beautiful and well-appointed the women's bathroom is! Sure, you have to walk down some narrow corridors to get there, but the facility really was swanky and pretty! read more

If I could give a 0 star review, I would. The "highlights" of this mall are unclear directions (due to the entire mall being under construction) and rude construction staff. This morning I was attempting to exit Oakridge mall and the signage to exit was very unclear (I do not go there very often). there was a group of 4 or 5 construction workers standing in the parking lot so I drove up to them to ask how I could get out of there. One of them gave me directions and another one loudly said "the same way as you got in here". Apart from the fact that it was NOT the same way I got in there (there are multiple entry and exit points), the signage in the parking lots is confusing and unclear. More importantly, Im surprised that Oakridge thinks its acceptable for their construction crews to verbally harass mall customers. I would expect anyone working at Oakridge, regardless of who they are, to have a basic minimum level of civility towards customers or visitors to the mall. I let the mall know about this and have heard nothing in response. read more

I can't wait to see for what this mall (soon to be Oakridge Park) will bring in store for my community.

These towers will be one of the tallest buildings in Vancouver! read more

The one thing that has always been perceived is that Oakridge is in some ways an Elitest, High End mall, known for being located in an area that is filled with over million dollar houses and expensive shops this mall definitely carries a reputation. In some ways Oakridge also has an identity crisis, of having some real high end shops, and some shops, or stores that just don't mesh with what their 'vision' if you call it that..... actually is. This is one of those malls that has never really grown in size ever since it was built (rumour has it that it is finally getting an expansion). Most people who have had their childhood in the Lower Mainland have some found vivid memory of this mall. For me (and this is really dating myself) where the food court is located right now, I remember a store called Abercrombie & Fitch, where it was such a novelty store (not the over cologned store many of you are thinking about that sells close, and that as long as you had a nose that could smell, or a cold, the scent would pierce right through that!) as they had leather elephants I used to hop on when I was young. I still remember the Marks & Spencer, and then later on there was a Pet Habitat and music store that are no longer there. There used to be the big Woodwards department store, and a big Superstar where the food court was. Many changes over the years, and many styles of stores have been funneled out, as this is the Cadillac Fairview group, who does not like to renew leases, and wants to have a higher echelon group of stores in their shopping centres! It is 2012, and due to the 'big screen, big sound' of the big Silver City style of theatres, the small theatres here have closed their screens for good as of January 2, 2012. Amazing how the hairdresser beside them is still around after all this time. White Spot has been a staple to this mall, and even though I do not consider their food 'high-end' their prices are 'high-end' enough to justify them staying put. As in my other review, I still do not understand why they are where they are, but it probably has something to do with big brother (The Bay) being next door. The parking is wonderful here, as it is abundant, all over the mall, at every angle. If you know the 'in's-and-out's' of this place, it is not hard getting in, and also getting to the right exit, direction and street you want to go to. If your looking for deals, this mall has some, but really not many, and even though it is a high end mall with high end shops (Tiffany's, Hugo Boss, Coach, etc, etc, etc) you may be sent into downtown, as most likely due to traffic, they don't get as much stuff as the downtown stores do. It's an odd type of mall in my opinion, I work close, so I frequent this quite often, and even I get bored as there is not much variety of stuff here, but it is very accesible to say the least. read more

My favorite centre in Greater Vancouver. They mall is constantly upgrading and remodeling. When new shops come in its always a nice touch and an upgrade. The Apple store here is front and centre, always great. Lots of covered and open parking. All the major phone company's and wireless wave. An Asian bakery along with Safeway and Oakridge library. Overall a beautiful layout with skylights that run the length of the mall. Santa here, at Christmas is second to none. read more

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of this mall. It is like alot of people say, a more upscale mall with stores like Birks, Hugo Boss, Harry Rosen, DKNY etc. Maybe cuz of that I find the people (shoppers & workers) quite snooty. They also have the Bay and Safeway and had Zellers but I guess Target is moving in now. The Crate and Barrel also moved in not long ago. I only come here to go to Safeway or get a lottery ticket or something since it's on the way home from work but besides that, there's not really much here for me.......oh and they have an Apple Store here as well.......... read more

UPDATE -- I'm loving how Oakridge has their "security guards" at the new corridor advising everyone to watch their step? You realize a sign adequately does this job and if it's such a concern, make it a ramp. Concept: instead of paying your security guards to do the job of a sign, have them actually MONITOR the parking lots you want staff to park in so damn badly. If you can't provide a safe environment for the staff in our office (MOSTLY WOMEN) to park in then how dare you ticket us for trying to park a safe distance from the offices we work in? We've already had cars broken into and damaged. And don't even get me started on how Oakridge didn't maintain the parking lot during the snowfall resulting in my coworker sustaining a horrible arm injury. Your attempts at trying to be a high quality mall are laughable with the low quality staff and security you can barely provide. Metrotown is triple the size with a security team that actually does the job. read more

This mall is a bit disappointing to shop when quite a few number of shops have closed down. The mall felt empty on a weekend.

If you know you want a particular brand, you might be able to skip downtown and just head right here. read more

Right on the main north-south street between Richmond and Vancouver, the OC is a nice neighborhood mall (a mall in a neighborhood!). Nice corridors, lighting, colors... It has a fairly typical variety in store brands foo-foo fancy and budget bargains, awesome nibbles, coffee and a subterranean library. The bathrooms felt clean and up-to-snuff. As evident if you look around, though, you will notice signs of what's to come: a massive face-lift! I admit the new design looks super awesome and will come with, um, various sacrifices, for sure. However, if I was a local there, I would look forward to the new LQQK of the future Oakridge Centre. read more

Closer than Richmond Centre or Burnaby's Metrotown, and easier to navigate than downtown's Pacific Centre, Oakridge is one of my shopping mall staples. Housing over 150 stores and services, many of them higher-end and related to women's fashion and accessories, plus tons of unique gift ware, it's a great place to go when you need to find an outfit fast or birthday present on the fly. So just what kind of "high-end" shops will you find? For women, Oakridge offers boutiques like MaxMara, BCBG, Aritzia, Edward Chapman Ladies Shop (check out their amazing Burberry selection), Zioni, Benetton, and bebe, to name a few. Men can also go fashion forward at Oakridge, with shops like Boys Co, Hugo Boss, and Harry Rosen. Unisex retailers include Banana Republic, lululemon, and Lacoste. Bling-wise, choose from jewellers like Birks, Swarovski, and Rodeo. And let's not forget the shoes: Try Coach, Nine West, Browns, and Kris + Cris. All that shopping makes a girl hungry. Oakridge includes a sizable Safeway and generous food court. The mall is also home to a cinema, bank, and various health-related services. read more

This is my old stomping ground since I was a child. Back then there were a lot more casual stores where a kid would be able to buy something, mind you not a big item but at least some toys or clothes. Now it's more of a 'higher end' mall where you'll find Coach, Tiffany & Co, DKNY, Harry Rosen, etc. There's still some reasonable stores such as Aldo, EB Games, Lego, Banana Republic, etc for someone to shop at. Also there's a bunch of wireless stores and Apple store. The food court was revamped so its a lot nicer and so far, the washrooms my food court has always been clean. Usually mall washrooms are ok but there's always a worker nearby to clean them, should it need it. It is very accessible by bus and Canada Line so you can leave your car at home, unless you are getting a lot of stuff or heavy items. Parking is ample but can get packed on the weekend, especially around lunch time as there's a White Spot by the entrance. Target is replacing the old Zellers location so expect it to be busier. read more

This mall has changed quite a bit since the 90s. It used to have stores such as Dynamite, Jacob etc. but has evolved into a very high end mall. There are still great options such as a newly renovated Aritizia, Wilfred, Papyrus, Purdy's and a Hudson Bay. Pros- it's not flooded with teenagers as the price point is mainly out of their range lol. There are not many options as the bigger malls but I find it convenient and go here quite often due to proximity and they carry a few of my favourites. As the new design and renovations start to be implemented, I believe this mall will get better and better. read more
