Tsawwassen’s largest outdoor-mall complex, Tsawwassen Commons, has revealed a future set of store openings that will be part of its phased launch.
Canadian Tire, Petsmart, Dollarama and Nando’s are the only retailers currently open at the mall’s 332,500-square-foot first phase, which is a series of contiguous big-box retailers and not an enclosed mall.
The destination is across Canoe Pass Way from the 1.2-million-square-foot Tsawwassen Mills mall, which opened in October.
Developer and Property Development Group partner David Coon told Business in Vancouver that he expects a Walmart and a Rona store to open at Tsawwassen Common’s first phase on January 26.
HomeSense and Mark’s would then take possession of their first-phase units and complete tenant improvements in February or March. Staples would then do the same thing in April.
Construction of the Tsawwassen Commons’ 217,500-square-foot second phase will break ground in January, Coon said.
“Our next phase will have smaller-pad buildings ranging anywhere from a single-pad building of 1800 square feet to a larger building of 15,000 square feet.
He added that for both phases combined, there is still available space.
“We’re sitting at about 73% leased,” he said.
