Hillside Shopping Centre

Hillside Shopping Centre is the principal Victoria regional shopping centre at 1644 Hillside Avenue in the Hillside-Quadra neighbourhood of Victoria, British Columbia, opened in 1962 with the 47,000-sqm regional format spanning approximately 100 retail and service units. The property is owned and managed by Cadillac Fairview as the flagship CF Victoria retail asset, serving the Capital Regional District of approximately 430,000 metropolitan residents as the principal enclosed regional mall in British Columbia’s provincial capital city.

The format combines the Sport Chek, Winners, and Shoppers Drug Mart anchor stores with the comprehensive Canadian and international retail register featuring H&M, Lululemon, Sephora, Dynamite, and the broader Canadian fashion programming. The Cineplex Cinemas multiplex anchor, the comprehensive food court and dining circuit serving the Victoria residential and public sector professional demographic, and the broader retail-and-services programming serving the Capital Regional District catchment complete the contemporary Victoria regional offer.

The catchment combines the dense Victoria and Capital Regional District residential demographic of approximately 430,000 metropolitan residents, Victoria is the provincial capital of British Columbia and home to the BC Legislature, major provincial government departments, the University of Victoria, and Royal Roads University, with the substantial American tourist catchment from Pacific Northwest visitors via the Victoria Clipper and BC Ferries Washington State routes. Direct accessibility includes the direct Hillside Avenue arterial at the principal Victoria inner-city commercial node, the BC Transit bus network serving the major Victoria residential clusters, and the dedicated parking infrastructure for approximately 2,500 vehicles.

Cadillac Fairview coordinates the property management of Hillside Shopping Centre as the flagship CF Victoria retail asset. The asset’s commercial role within the Canadian retail map is the dominant Victoria enclosed regional destination and the principal CF retail address in British Columbia’s provincial capital, serving the Capital Regional District residential, government, and university catchment within the broader BC retail register, where Victoria’s insular geography, separated from the BC mainland by the Strait of Georgia, establishes Hillside as the primary enclosed retail destination for a captive provincial capital market without competitive proximity to the Greater Vancouver super-regional cluster.
