SmartCentres Planning 372,000 SF Retail Centre in Richmond

SmartCentres has submitted an application to the City of Richmond to build a open-format shopping centre on a 17-acre site in the West Cambie area of Richmond. The project, known as Central at Garden City, is located on Garden City Road between Alderbridge and Alexandra Road. The site is proposed to be developed with a 3-storey, 162,000 SF Wal-Mart, a 4-storey retail/parkade structure, and several 1-2 storey retail buildings centred around a High Street running through the site. There will be 20-70 CRU’s and a total leasable area of 372,000 SF.central garden city 2

SmartCentres had initially made a rezoning application in 2003, but was delayed due to a variety of issues including assembly of lots and the development of the West Cambie Area Plan by the City of Richmond.central garden city 1
