New Shopping Center Coming @ Mt Lehman Interchange

A new shopping mall is planned @ the site near Abbotsford's Mount Lehman interchange across from the Fraser Valley Automall. The project, which has been given approval in principle by Abbotsford city council, will have access off Trans Canada Highway (# 1) and is expected to draw shoppers from Hope to Langley. It is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2011. Shape Properties developments is behind this 600,000-square-foot shopping mall. It is estimated to cost $170 million. Some new papers suggest that a Wal-Mart Supercentre could be the anchor tenant in the new development.
