A Shopping Hub at the Centre of Richmond
CF Richmond Centre traces its roots back to 1964, when Richmond Square Shopping Centre first opened on land that was once part of the Brighouse racetrack. A separate Hudson’s Bay store was built next door two years later, and the two properties operated side by side until they were joined into a single mall in 1989, the shape most visitors recognize today.
The mall sits along No. 3 Road with additional entrances on Minoru Boulevard and Granville Avenue, directly across from Richmond City Hall. Unlike many enclosed malls that stack several levels, most of Richmond Centre is built on a single floor, which makes it easy to move between stores without hunting for an escalator.
Shopping and Brands
Richmond Centre is managed by Cadillac Fairview and holds one of the larger store counts of any mall in Metro Vancouver, with fashion, beauty, electronics, and home goods retailers filling out the corridors. Regulars include Aritzia, Arc’teryx, Zara, Uniqlo, H&M, Lululemon, Sephora, Muji, London Drugs, Sporting Life, Apple, and Telus, alongside independent and local shops.
Sport Chek anchors the south end of the building, a spot that has held onto sporting goods retail through several changes of ownership over the decades. The former Hudson’s Bay department store at the north end closed permanently in 2025 after Hudson’s Bay Company wound down its remaining stores nationwide, and that space is now part of the site’s broader redevelopment plans described further down this page.
Homegrown Names Worth a Stop
Alongside the national and international chains, Richmond Centre has made room for local brands with a story. ATACZ, a Vancouver-based label that turns recycled plastic bottles into knit bags, opened its first-ever storefront here in 2025, choosing to keep much of the original unit’s tile flooring and sliding wood walls rather than gutting the space.
It is a good example of how the mall mixes long-standing anchors with newer, smaller retailers that reflect Richmond’s own design and manufacturing scene, so it is worth wandering past the familiar storefronts to see what has opened recently.
Dining Terrace and Food Options
An upper-level food court known as the Dining Terrace serves as the mall’s main dining hub, with a wide mix of quick-service counters and seating that stays busy through midday and into the evening. Richmond’s large Chinese Canadian population, which makes up roughly half the city’s residents, is reflected in a stronger-than-usual lineup of Asian food options compared to many other regional malls.
Several full-service, sit-down restaurants also operate on the property outside the food court itself, giving visitors options beyond a quick counter meal.
Getting There
Richmond Centre sits directly above Richmond-Brighouse, the terminus station of the Canada Line, which makes it one of the easiest malls in the region to reach without a car. Trains connect straight through to downtown Vancouver and Vancouver International Airport, and the station opens right into the mall.
Multiple parkades and surface lots surround the property for those driving in, though some parking areas have shifted or closed in stages as construction on the surrounding redevelopment continues, so it is worth building in a few extra minutes to find a spot.
A Mall in the Middle of a Major Redevelopment
Cadillac Fairview and developer SHAPE Properties are partway through a 27-acre master plan that will eventually ring the existing mall with new residential towers, a retail high street, and open public plazas, built in phases over several years. The first residential buildings along Minoru Boulevard have already opened, with more construction planned along No. 3 Road in the years ahead.
Grocery chain Fresh St. Market has been announced as a future grocery anchor for the redeveloped site. Because the property is an active construction zone in parts, expect some entrances, parking areas, and store locations to shift from one visit to the next.
Tip: Weekday mornings, shortly after opening, tend to be the quietest time to browse the mall before crowds build up in the afternoon.
Note: Parts of the property are an active construction site as the surrounding redevelopment continues. Some entrances and parking areas may be closed or relocated depending on the phase of work underway.
Richmond Centre has spent six decades adapting to whatever Richmond needed next, from a 1960s strip of separate stores to a single connected mall, and now to a neighbourhood being built around it.
The mall is generally open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., though individual stores and restaurants may keep their own hours. Hours can also change around holidays, so it’s worth checking the official CF Richmond Centre website before you go.
Parking availability and rates have shifted as redevelopment work has progressed on the site, so it’s best to check current parking signage or the official mall website for up-to-date details rather than relying on older information.
The mall connects directly to Richmond-Brighouse Station, the end of the line for Canada Line trains, which also run through to downtown Vancouver and Vancouver International Airport.
Most of the mall is built on a single level, which limits the need for elevators in the main shopping corridors. Elevators and escalators are available for the Dining Terrace food court and any multi-level sections.
The Hudson’s Bay location at Richmond Centre closed permanently in 2025 when Hudson’s Bay Company wound down its department stores across Canada. The former space is expected to be reworked as part of the mall’s ongoing redevelopment.
Yes. Cadillac Fairview and SHAPE Properties are working through a multi-year, 27-acre master plan that will add residential towers, a new retail high street, and public plaza space around the existing mall, with construction happening in phases.
