McArthurGlen Vancouver Airport Soars
It’s feels like a mere blink of the eye, but it was actually eight years since we hired Rob Thurlow to spearhead McArthurGlen’s first Designer Outlet in North America, at Vancouver International Airport.
And since opening its doors in July 2015, the 240,000ft² Centre has performed exceptionally, breaking footfall and sales records on the opening weekend and throughout the year.
From winning the highly-esteemed Commercial Retail Estate Award of Excellence in Retail Development, to overseeing development Phase II (+84,000ft²) in 2019, and weathering the headwinds of the pandemic, it’s fair to say it’s been quite the ride!
But guided by Rob’s steady hand, their recovery has been swift, confidence has returned and now they’re preparing the break ground on the third - and final - phase of the development, adding a further 30-35 premium and lifestyle brands, bringing the total footprint up to 389,000ft².
We’ll be keeping a keen eye on progress from this side of the pond, but in the meantime, congratulations to both Rob and our good friends at McArthurGlen on their resounding success.
