The Edmonton International Airport plans to expand its proposed retail outlet centre and build a new shipping facility to boost cargo transport.
Developers Ivanhoe Cambridge plan to build a 415,000-square-foot retail space next to Highway 2, just south of Airport Road. The indoor shopping space will include up 100 brands.
The mall will be “Edmonton’s first and only pure outlet centre” and will help make the the city a destination, said Paul Gleeson, executive vice-president with Ivanhoe Cambridge.
Gleeson said the outlet would be accessible by a shuttle from the airport. It is expected to open in the fall of 2017.
