The two-story building is covered in a 30-foot-tall mural by Canadian designer Mooren (Mo) Bofill, with contributions by Musqueam First Nation artist Debra Sparrow. It features products including the AirPods, Apple Pencil, and other designs.

The building is part of the CF Pacific Centre shopping mall complex, and has a total floor area of around 14,000 square feet, according to a 2019 development permit application.

A report from Daily Hive says the opening has been confirmed for Friday, November 18.

Celebrations will be happening all weekend, featuring Apple Sessions that include a guided meditation with JoAnna Hardy, a live performance from local rapper Boslen, an art lab with Mia Ohki, and more.

People will also be able to explore the architecture of downtown Vancouver and learn how to capture cityscapes on an iPhone during a Today at Apple Photo Tour.

Online registration has opened for the public to attend, and people can sign up through Apple's web page.

    That’s really cool, and the building is beautiful.
    Still don’t know why they have multiple Apple Stores in Vancouver but NONE on Vancouver Island. You know so we could just drive down to Victoria to get our Apple fix, without having to take a $150R/T ferry ride. There’s a hell of a lot of us on VI.

    Featuring music by a rapper in Vancouver?
    maybe Los Angeles, but most likely not here.

    Vancouver has a really active music scene. Seems like nearly everyone I know plays music, and has a band. Country, Hip Hop, Jazz, Rock, Classical, and more.
