Edmonton International Airport in Canada, Alberta will soon be richer for unique mall called Premium Outlet Collection. The partners behind it are Ivanhoe Cambridge, which is based in Quebec, and U.S-based Simon Property Group. This will be Simon's fourth outlet center in Canada, joining very successful projects in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. Both companies will continue to work in close collaboration with Edmonton International Airport (EIA), who fully supports the project as a key component in its 340-acre airport masterplan.
The stunning number of 6.5 million tourists visit the Edmonton area annually and arrive through one of Canada’s busiest airports. This would be the great chance for them to use all the facilities that are being constructed within this project, started in spring 2016. The shopping center is scheduled to open in spring 2018. Approximately 100 stores will open at Premium Outlet Collection Edmonton International Airport, many of them making their first appearance in Alberta. Located south of Airport Road, directly adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth II Highway, this mall will feature 428,000 square feet of retail outlets. According to the official information, it seems like it will cater to all tastes and budgets.
By doing this kind of project, it is crucial to mention that investors will secure future aviation-related use and generate sustainable income to support air service. This matters a lot, because EIA is a key economic driver for the Edmonton region and also a not-for-profit corporation which is entirely self-sustaining. This project will create 1,000 jobs, position EIA as a tourist generation, and stimulate further growth on airport lands.
