Metropolis at Metrotown

Metropolis at Metrotown is the principal Burnaby super-regional shopping centre at 4800 Kingsway in the Metrotown district of Burnaby, opened in 1986 with the 165,000-sqm super-regional format spanning approximately 450 retail and service units making it the largest enclosed shopping centre in British Columbia. The property is owned and managed by Ivanhoé Cambridge as the flagship Ivanhoé Cambridge British Columbia retail asset and the dominant suburban Greater Vancouver retail destination.

The format combines the Hudson’s Bay Company, Winners/HomeSense, and Sport Chek anchor stores with the comprehensive international and Canadian retail register featuring H&M, Zara, Uniqlo, Lululemon, Apple, Nike, and the broader international fashion programming. The Cineplex Cinemas multiplex anchor with approximately 1,900 seats, the dedicated Family Entertainment Centre, the comprehensive food court and dining circuit with a substantial Asian food offer reflecting the Burnaby demographic, the Sephora flagship, and the broader retail-and-services programming complete the contemporary Burnaby super-regional offer.

The catchment combines the dense Burnaby residential demographic of approximately 280,000 city residents with the broader Vancouver CMA concentration of approximately 2.9 million metropolitan residents and the Tri-Cities (Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody) corridor catchment. Direct accessibility includes the Metrotown SkyTrain station immediate adjacency on the Expo Line one of the highest-ridership SkyTrain stations outside downtown Vancouver the dedicated bus exchanges serving the Burnaby residential network, and the dedicated parking infrastructure for approximately 4,700 vehicles.

Ivanhoé Cambridge coordinates the property management of Metropolis at Metrotown as the flagship BC Ivanhoé Cambridge retail asset. The asset’s commercial role within the Canadian retail map is the largest enclosed shopping centre in British Columbia by GLA and the dominant suburban Greater Vancouver super-regional destination, complementing rather than competing with the downtown Pacific Centre CF destination through its distinct suburban residential and transit-hub positioning as the principal eastern corridor gateway retail destination within the broader Greater Vancouver retail register.
