History
Built between 1971 and 1973, it was an unofficial Eaton Centre. The Pacific Centre was home to an Eaton's department store, succeeded by Sears Canada after 2002 and vacated in the fall of 2012. A Nordstrom store opened in its former space in 2015.
The City of Vancouver approved an 578,000 sq ft. expansion of Pacific Centre, including retail premises that will extend to the street on both sides of West Georgia Street, and a direct link connecting the shopping centre with the new Vancouver City Centre SkyTrain station on Granville Street. The link opened in the summer of 2009 in conjunction with the opening of the Canada Line.
On January 20, 2017, Cadillac Fairview announced an agreement to sell a 50% interest in its Vancouver properties, including Pacific Centre, to the Ontario Pension Board and Ontario's Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, each to hold a 25% stake. Cadillac Fairview, itself a subsidiary of the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, will retain the remaining 50% interest and continue to manage the properties.
Incident
In 2012, an incident at Pacific Centre Mall sparked an investigation by the Ministry of Justice and the Vancouver police. A security guard was shown on videotape striking a disabled man suspected of shoplifting, throwing him from his wheelchair on the floor and yelling profane language. The guard in question — Ali Rahnumah, 30, an employee of Genesis Security — was fired over the incident and criminally charged. He is suing Genesis Security for wrongful dismissal. The investigation itself ultimately concluded that the guard acted with unnecessary force and had used profanity contrary to the Security Services Regulation of that province.
