Oakridge Park to open May 28 with 500,000 sq. ft. ready
oakridge park will open to the public at 11 a.m. on Thursday, May 28, 2026, beginning with a ribbon cutting ceremony. Chrystal Burns, executive vice president of Canadian retail experience at QuadReal Property Group, said about 500,000 sq. ft. will be open on the first day.
The opening gives shoppers access to the indoor mall and rooftop public park that sit inside the 28-acre redevelopment. The first phase will include over 100 retailers, restaurants, services, and other businesses, out of 650,000 sq. ft. of leasable retail space.

Burns said, “All of our retailers have been working feverishly to be ready to open with us.” The first-day lineup also includes Time Out Market, which will be the anchor tenant at 50,000 sq. ft.
Time Out Market will be the chain’s 13th location worldwide and its second in Canada. The mall opening follows the demolition of the former Oakridge Centre and the years of redevelopment that rebuilt the site from scratch.
