The southwest corner of Burrard and West Georgia streets in downtown Vancouver has received a serious makeover, the result of an expansion of the Alberni Street luxury retail district.

Recently, two floors of retail space received a notable splash of orange, a hint of the new upscale retailer that’s preparing to take over the prime retail position.

French fashion and luxury goods manufacturer Hermes will be opening a two-storey flagship store on the corner.

The new location takes over ground-level retail space previously occupied by Bell and a second-level space that belonged to Suki’s Salon & Spa.

A report by Retail Insider, released in late 2017, noted that the flagship store would be similar in size to Toronto’s 12,000-square-foot flagship space.
