Pacific Centre is a shopping mall in Vancouver, British Columbia. Based on the number of stores, many of which are underground, it is the largest mall in downtown Vancouver with over 250 stores and services. Anchor stores include Sears and Holt Renfrew, Sport Chek and Coast Mountain Sports. The mall is also connected to The Bay, and the Four Seasons Hotel, a 385-room luxury hotel.

As of 2007, the mall is undergoing a massive renovation project. A brand new food court has already been completed, and the common area has now been updated.

Stores within Holt Renfrew

The Holt Renfrew department store serves as an upscale galleria within Pacific Centre. Boutiques in the Holt Renfrew store include:

The Hermes store recently moved their anchor store to the upscale street front at 755 Burrard Street, at the corner of Alberni and Burrard Streets, in the location of the former Saitoh anchor store. (Fall 2006) Many of the aforementioned boutiques also have anchor locations in the Burrard/Robson corridor.

Mall Expansion

The City of Vancouver approved an expansion of Pacific Centre, which will include retail premises that will extend to the street on the North and South sides of West Georgia Street. Included will be a station for the new Canada Line Skytrain subway.

New retailers for Pacific Centre will include Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Sephora, H&M, and an expanded flagship Roots location. A new Holt Renfrew flagship store is now open at the north end of the centre. The new store is approximately 135,000 square feet in size, compared to their now-closed former location which was approximately 68,000 square feet. A rooftop restaurant is also planned at the new location.
