West Edmonton Mall is the principal Edmonton super-regional shopping and entertainment centre at 8882 170 Street NW in the West Edmonton district, opened in 1981 through successive expansions reaching its current 350,000-sqm format spanning more than 800 retail units as one of the largest enclosed shopping malls in the world and the largest in North America. The property is owned and managed by Triple Five Group, the Edmonton-founded global development company, as the flagship Triple Five asset that established the company’s reputation for integrated mega-destination retail and entertainment development.
The format combines Hudson’s Bay Company, Sport Chek, and the full spectrum of Canadian and international retail with an unparalleled entertainment and leisure offer that has defined West Edmonton Mall’s identity as a destination rather than a conventional shopping mall. The World Waterpark indoor water park with 17 water slides as the world’s largest indoor water park, the Galaxyland indoor amusement park with the world’s largest indoor roller coaster (the Mindbender), the NHL regulation-size ice skating rink, the Sea Life Caverns marine exhibit, the Ship’s Bow mini-golf, the Palace Casino, the 25-screen Scotiabank Theatre IMAX multiplex, the 27 hotels and the Fantasyland Hotel themed suites, and the 100+ dining establishments collectively define the world’s most complex integrated retail-entertainment destination.
The catchment combines the dense Edmonton CMA concentration of approximately 1.5 million metropolitan residents with the pan-Canadian and international tourist catchment that generates approximately 30 million annual visits, positioning West Edmonton Mall as a tourism destination that rivals Banff and Lake Louise as one of the principal Alberta tourism attractions. Direct accessibility includes the West Edmonton Mall LRT station on the Valley Line West LRT, the principal Stony Plain Road and 170 Street arterial, and the dedicated parking infrastructure for approximately 20,000 vehicles as the largest parking facility in Canada.
Triple Five Group coordinates the property management of West Edmonton Mall as the flagship Triple Five asset alongside American Dream in New Jersey. The asset’s commercial role within the Canadian retail map is categorically distinct from all other Canadian malls functioning simultaneously as a regional retail hub, a national tourism destination, and an entertainment complex of global scale positioning Edmonton on the world map as the home of North America’s largest mall and establishing Triple Five as the global pioneer of the mega-destination retail-entertainment model.
