Walmart is coming to Tsawwassen. So, too, are Bass Pro Shops and Rona.
The Tsawwassen First Nation joined with development partners Ivanhoe Cambridge and Property Development Group Friday morning to mark the start of construction as well as announce a trio of tenants for two mega malls scheduled to open in the spring of 2016.
Bass Pro Shops will be one of 16 anchor tenants for Ivanhoe Cambridge's Tsawwassen Mills, a 1.2 million-square-foot mall at Highway 17 and 52nd Street. The outdoor retailer, which is unique to the B.C. market, will be housed in a 145,000-square-foot store.
Names of other anchor tenants for Tsawwassen Mills were not released, although developers say they will be a unique mix of premier fashion brands and factory outlets.
The mall, modeled after CrossIron Mills in Calgary, will also include an 11,000-square-foot food court.
Property Development Group, which is building the 550,000-square-foot Tsawwassen Commons adjacent to Tsawwassen Mills, introduced Walmart (108,000-square-feet) and Rona (44,000-square-feet) as anchor tenants.
More details to come from the news conference.
