Well, it's also a basement...

I've heard rumours that Apple was looking into part of the art gallery space for its flagship. Since the VAG's relocation is looking to be in doubt (and if the rumours are even true), then maybe Apple has chosen their preferred venue and they no longer need a larger mall space to hold them over until the flagship opens.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread - and to be clear, I'm completely speculating on this...

Wasn't that an April fools joke by Vanity Buzz last year?

I'm pretty sure that Apple would never open a minor Apple store in the basement of a building with Microsoft offices and sign above, ever.

They two stores like to be near eachother. The deal did not go through due to a lack of proper space, not co-tenancies.

See my response above. Microsoft was not the issue.

Apple is currently (still) looking for a flagship location, but their Pacific Centre location will remain regardless. It's not a temp location and will not be replaced by an external flagship.

Thanks! Yeah, I assumed the PC location was staying.

Apple can glass over the entire art gallery lawn a la Portland, everyone would love that!

That store is huge! We need one at least that size

Microsoft likes to be near Apple. Apple wanting to be near Microsoft is a laughable implication.

Apple will maintain their PC location but their visions for growth must be elsewhere.

There are only 3 Apple Stores in all of Oregon. We have double that in the lower mainland.

As all the office folk in suits made a mad dash for the West Coast Express, Canada Line and Skytrain to avoid the stinky fumes - escape from downtown

I bailed at 3 PM, hoping to avoid the gong show. I had to drive downtown that day and traffic was already a mess, well before the traditional rush hours.
