History

Capilano Mall was originally built in 1967. Woolco and Super-Valu were the initial anchor tenants. In 1974 an expansion added a Sears store. The mall underwent an upgrade and expansion in the late 1980s, and again in 2001 [1]. The most recent renovation added an updated food court, new entrances, and a major update to the mall's appearance, which dated back to its original design. A movie theatre complex was proposed as part of this project, but never materialized.

Transportation

The mall is located on Marine Drive, a major east-west street across the North Shore. Vehicle access is also available from Hanes Avenue and Mackay Road. TransLink bus routes 236, 239, 240, and 255 (West Vancouver Blue Bus) offer service to the mall, along with connections to Lonsdale Quay, Lynn Valley Centre, and Park Royal. Capilano Mall is approximately two kilometers to the east of the Lions Gate Bridge, which connects the North Shore to Downtown Vancouver, and is approximately the same distance south and to the east of the Capilano Road interchange with the Trans-Canada Highway.
