History

The 631,000 sq ft (58,600 m2), built on 40 acres (160,000 m2),[1] opened 17 October 1979 and is located by the intersection of St. Mary's Road and Abinojii Mikanah.[2] It opened with Eaton's, The Bay, and Woolco as anchor tenants.[3] The mall was renovated in 1986, 1998, and 2013.[2]

The building has six anchor tenants and 160 smaller stores, and has a gross leasable area of 926,310 sq ft (86,057 m2) including the freestanding Co-op grocery store, Montana's Cookhouse, Old Navy, CIBC, McDonald’s, and Earls.[4] St. Vital Centre is owned by the Ontario Pension Board and was previously managed by 20 VIC Management Inc. to 2017 and Cushman & Wakefield Asset Services ULC to December 2020. Management of St. Vital Centre is now done by BentallGreenOak (Canada) LP.

The mall has 4,661 parking spaces, as well as a city transit bus depot positioned close to an entrance.[2][5] As of 2001, the mall serves approximately 53,825 households within a 5 kilometre radius, with an average household income of $56,925.[3] The location sees approximately 178,000 pedestrians per week.[2]

The mall recycles plastics and aluminum in their food court, and paper in their offices, and recycles 4,315 metric tons (4,247 long tons; 4,756 short tons) of cardboard every year.[6]

In 2012, the mall underwent a $10 million renovation, which was completed in November 2012. The renovation included new flooring, ceilings, wall coverings and energy efficient lighting.[7]
