West Vancouver is situated at 49 degrees 19' N 123 degrees 9' W, in the Pacific Time Zone. The city is part of the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, northwest of the city of Vancouver on Burrard Inlet and Howe Sound. It is located on the North Shore and is adjoined by the District of North Vancouver. West Vancouver is also home to Canada's first shopping mall, Park Royal Shopping Centre.
Park Royal Shoppping Centre is Canada's first covered shopping mall.
The mall is physically divided into two locations on Marine Drive, a major thoroughfare on the North Shore. The two sides are named North Mall and South Mall and are connected by overhead vehicle and pedestrian overpasses spanning over Marine Drive. The entire mall covers roughly 990,000 square feet.
The Village
In late 2004, The Village was opened as an expansion of the South Mall, allowing for more stores and retail services. This 238,000 square foot expansion cost approximately $30 million CAD. The Village is Canada's first lifestyle centre specifically designed for the affluent West Vancouver market, where all the retail locations offer mid to upscale lifestyle services. The Village is unique in that it aims to replicate the experience found at Whistler Village, where consumers are predominantly outside to browse the stores.
West Vancouver is located only one hour and 20 minutes driving time from Whistler, home to the 2010 Olympics.
