Premium Outlet Collection EIA is a 39,800 m2 (428,000 sq ft) fully-enclosed outlet shopping mall[1] in Leduc County just east of Edmonton International Airport. It opened on May 2, 2018, after being delayed from fall 2017.[2][3] It was developed by Ivanhoé Cambridge and Simon Property Group. The mall has around 100 retailers and the main anchors are Designer Shoe Warehouse, H&M, Nike Factory Store, Old Navy Outlet, Urban Planet (formally Forever 21), Designer Depot, and Marshalls.[4]
History
In December 2013, Ivanhoé Cambridge announced that an outlet mall, then-called "The Outlet Collection at EIA", would be built near the Edmonton International Airport and slated to open in fall 2016. Simon Property Group also announced plans to open a second outlet mall in the city's west end at the corner of Anthony Henday Drive and Stony Plain Road.[5] However in January 2016, the latter plans were cancelled after both companies reached a partnership deal to co-develop the mall at the airport.[6]
A groundbreaking ceremony was held in May 2015 with construction officially beginning in spring 2016.[7] The mall opened on May 2, 2018.[2]
