Layout

McArthurGlen Vancouver Airport is an outdoor outlet lined with three horizontal pedestrian paths and three vertical pedestrian paths, which when intersected creates piazzas. The dining areas are located in the southeast corner of the outlet.

A phase two planned to open in 2018 was expected to expand the mall to 400,000 square feet and up to 150 retailers.[7] However, the expansion was later scaled back to 84,000 square feet, eventually opening on August 29, 2019 just before the Labour Day weekend.[6] Phase two was built to be integrated into the existing outlet centre, expanding on the European village theme to create one additional piazza.[6]
