I would guess the same thing for indoor malls and I believe they were the ONLY large indoor malls built since the 1980s!!!
Tsawwassen Mills opened in 2016 in Tsawwassen BC.
CrossIron Mills opened in 2009 in Calgary AB.
Vaughan Mills opened in 2004 in Vaughan ON and is still the largest mall to have opened in Canada so far in this century.
All three are owned by Ivanhoe Cambridge.
I don't know of any large shopping mall that opened in Canada during the 1990s. In fact, I'm not sure if even a smaller one opened. A recession and high unemployment during that time really hurt many retailers. It was also the beginning of Walmart entering Canada and other big box stores.
Other recent large retail developments that should be mentioned are the factory outlet ones.
