More businesses are getting set to open at Tsawwassen Commons.
The outdoor shopping centre next to Tsawwassen Mills on the Tsawwassen First Nation will soon welcome another large tenant in the space next to Canadian Tire as Club 16 (Trevor Linden Fitness) was confirmed last week.
鈥淲e anticipate that tenant improvements should commence in the next few months,鈥� said Novy Cheema, associate director of real estate for Gracorp Capital Advisors Inc. 鈥淲e also anticipate Meraki Therapeutics to open in the next couple of weeks, with Sally Beauty, Menchies and Starbucks following closely behind. Work on the other buildings continues to progress and we should see Tim Hortons and Metro Liquor opening sometime in the summer.鈥�
Cheema said construction on phase five has also commenced with a target date of September 2018 for the opening of Kal-Tire and late 2018 for Core Education & Fine Arts (CEFA), a pre-school and junior kindergarten. CEFA has 17 other locations in the Lower Mainland, including Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey and Coquitlam.
Cheema said the mall is also close to finalizing leases for a restaurant and a quick service restaurant close to A&W.
Anchored by Walmart, Canadian Tire, Rona and others, the 100-store mall was expected to open in October 2016 in conjunction with the adjacent 200-store fashion mall, but a slower than anticipated retail market stalled some of the construction.
Last June, activity on the site increased substantially, with construction at a steady pace ever since.
