Vaughan Mills

Vaughan Mills is the principal Vaughan super-regional shopping and entertainment centre at 1 Bass Pro Mills Drive in the Jane Street and Highway 400 interchange in the City of Vaughan north of Toronto, opened in September 2004 with the 120,000-sqm super-regional format spanning approximately 200 retail and service units anchored by a unique factory-outlet and entertainment hybrid format. The property is owned and managed by Ivanhoé Cambridge as the principal Ivanhoé Cambridge Greater Toronto Area retail asset.

The format combines Bass Pro Shops as the principal experiential anchor the largest Bass Pro Shops flagship in Canada with the outlet and value retail register featuring Coach, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Under Armour, Nike, Adidas at outlet pricing, and the broader Canadian and international designer outlet programming. The Cineplex Cinemas multiplex cinema anchor with VIP auditoriums, the dedicated Playdium gaming and entertainment complex, the Rainforest Café themed restaurant anchor, the dedicated dining circuit, the premium beauty register, and the broader retail-and-services programming combining full-price and outlet retail complete the contemporary Vaughan mixed-format offer.

The catchment combines the dense Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and Woodbridge residential demographic of approximately 500,000 York Region residents with the broader Toronto CMA concentration of approximately 6.7 million metropolitan residents and the substantial Highway 400 corridor draw from the Barrie and Simcoe County catchment. Direct accessibility includes the direct Highway 400 and Highway 400/Jane Street interchange positioning Vaughan Mills as the principal northern Greater Toronto Area automobile-anchored retail destination, the York Region Transit bus network, and the dedicated parking infrastructure for approximately 7,200 vehicles.

Ivanhoé Cambridge coordinates the property management of Vaughan Mills within the broader Ivanhoé Cambridge Canadian retail portfolio. The asset’s commercial role within the Canadian retail map is the dominant northern Greater Toronto Area destination retail and entertainment centre distinguished by the Bass Pro Shops flagship and the outlet pricing model that attracts a regional draw substantially wider than a conventional suburban mall, complementing rather than competing with the luxury positioning of Yorkdale and the mass-market positioning of Square One through its distinct outlet-and-entertainment format within the broader Greater Toronto Area retail register.
