City of Lougheed Shopping Centre

Lougheed Town Centre in the past

Originally opened in 1969 as a $15 million shopping complex, Lougheed Mall was a pioneer in the era of suburban malls, boasting a massive parking lot for 2,600 cars and anchor tenants like Woolco, The Bay, and Safeway. It was a trendsetter, featuring Canada's first three-screen movie theater and a "moving sidewalk" to facilitate shopping cart use between levels.

Growing Retail and Dining Hub

Fast forward to today, and The City of Lougheed is evolving into a modern, pedestrian-friendly destination offering best-in-class homes, shops, services, dining options, meticulously planned parks, and public plazas. The vision is to create a lively, mixed-use community that caters to the needs and wants of the area, providing local favorites, hidden gems, and culinary diversity.

Currently, The City of Lougheed boasts over 90 shops and services, including major retailers like London Drugs, Walmart Supercentre, and Sport Chek, catering to daily needs and wants. The recently opened Eateries section offers a diverse array of quick, quality fare, from local poke to authentic Persian cuisine, in a fresh and inviting space adorned with living walls and stone finishes.

With its central location in Burnaby, where three SkyTrain lines converge, The City of Lougheed is poised to become a nexus of energy, diversity, and community, redefining the urban experience in Metro Vancouver. As this ambitious project unfolds, visitors can look forward to experiencing a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly city center that seamlessly blends residential, retail, dining, and entertainment offerings into a cohesive and sustainable urban environment.
