Aritzia is set to open a massive flagship store in its hometown.

The Vancouver-headquartered clothing company announced its plans to open a 40,000-square-foot retail store at CF Pacific Centre in 2027. The four-floor boutique will be located at the corner of Robson and Howe streets, in the space previously occupied by Nordstrom.

There has been much speculation surrounding who would take over the vacant department store space, which has stood empty s ince the Seattle-headquartered retailer wrapped up its Canadian operations in June 2023.

To give a sense of the scale of the planned retail space, an acre measures approximately 43,560 square feet. Safe to say, this will be a giant retail presence for Aritzia, which was founded in Vancouver in 1984.
