A formal announcement on all of the confirmed retailers and restaurants is forthcoming, but at this point of time, we are now aware of about a dozen brands, some of which are planning a big splash.
A new public street, dubbed Brentwood Boulevard, provides access through the site for both pedestrians and vehicles, and it is seamlessly integrated with the city street grid. Along the boulevard, expect nearly two dozen retailers, including Adidas, Nike, Wilfred by Aritzia, and a two-level H&M flagship store — complete with the H&M Home collection.
...
To the southwest, perched on the upper levels of the mall podium is Cineplex’s VIP Cinemas and Rec Room, which is the theatre chain’s first entertainment and gaming centre in the Metro Vancouver market. Cineplex will occupy 64,700 sq. ft. of space over two levels, providing five VIP auditoriums, three eateries including a sports bar and upscale casual restaurant, a bowling alley, and over 100 arcade games and simulators. A Steve Nash Fitness Club is also located near this theatre area.

The plaza’s centrepiece is a significant water feature with programmable oscillating fountains, amplified at nighttime by ever-changing LED lights — quite possibly the closest thing Metro Vancouver will have to the Bellagio fountain, other than the Aberdeen Centre fountain. The project team worked with Toronto-based Crystal Fountains, which has choreographed the fountain system with music for scheduled shows.
...
The plaza is also activated by its perimeter of restaurants and patios, including a two-storey Cactus Club Cafe — plus a rooftop patio — on the north side and a significant Starbucks Reserve pavilion to the south, adjacent to the pedestrian bridge to SkyTrain.
Immediately below the Starbucks is a two-storey McDonald’s restaurant located on the ground level, right on the Lougheed Highway frontage.
And for those looking for more a more premium cafe option, Small Victory plans to open an outpost near the plaza area.
...
The retail portion will include yet-to-be-named anchor tenants such as a yet-to-be-named grocery store and an upscale department store.
Construction on the second phase could begin in two years, but this is dependent on whether a decision is made to renovate or demolish and replace the existing enclosed galleria mall — the structure with a distinctive white teflon fabric roof — located at the centre of the property.
As for the current phase of construction, the new public realm and the first stores are slated to open this fall, with the full slate of first phase stores opening by late spring of 2020.
