CB2 Comes to Vancouver
Modern home furnishings brand to open a second Canadian location, in Vancouver’s Pacific Palisades this February
Chicago, IL (January 2012)—Modern home furnishings brand CB2 (www.cb2.ca) proudly announces the opening of its first Vancouver store and second Canadian location, slated to open Saturday, February 18, 2012. Located on Robson Street in downtown Vancouver, the street-level property anchors the lower level of the newly-renovated Pacific Palisades, a mixed-use, retail and residential development. CB2 Pacific Palisades will join CB2 Queen West, which recently opened in Toronto this month.
Founded in 2000, CB2 is headquartered in Chicago, and has stores in 11 metropolitan locations across the United States, in addition to the brand’s rapidly-growing ecommerce and catalogue divisions. Known for its combination of high design and approachability, CB2 will offer Vancouver residents and design enthusiasts access to home furnishings that are as affordable as they are original. Opening with the new spring 2012 collection as well as the brand’s go-to staples, CB2 offers innovative and accessible design solutions for apartment, home and office.
“We’re excited to join the dynamic Pacific Palisades development and Vancouver’s vibrant design community,” said Marta Calle, Director of CB2. “The city’s aesthetic and great energy are a perfect fit for the CB2 brand, and we look forward to sharing our modern design proposition with the local community.”
The new Pacific Palisades, formerly the historic Pacific Palisades Hotel, touts a West Coast Modern style, making it the ideal location for CB2’s first Vancouver outpost. With more than 12,550-square-feet, CB2 Pacific Palisades will feature a modern aesthetic that includes concrete, exposed steel framing and metal floor tiles. The store will also offer customers convenient street level access in this busy retail district.
“We are thrilled to welcome CB2 to Pacific Palisades,” said Andrew Abramowich, President and CEO of Austeville Properties Ltd. “Having great design and decorating options at renters fingertips makes CB2 a welcome neighbour for residents of our 234 rental suites.”
Grand opening details to follow. Store opens to the public Saturday, February 18, 2012. CB2 Pacific Palisades: 1277 Robson St, Vancouver, BC, Canada.

CB2 OPENS IN TORONTO
The media was all a buzz last weekend as CB2 opened its first Canadian store. CB2 is calling the popular Queen Street West address their news home and has us at PaPa all the more excited for the brands Vancouver opening.
Style at Home blogger Elaine Song was one of the local media covering the opening. Below is an excerpt of what she had to say about the launch. For her full review check out the Style at Home blog.
Back in August 2011, we were given a sneak peek into what was in store for us (literally) while waiting for renovations to be completed on the historic Big Bop concert hall. The projected opening date in November had quickly come and gone, which can only be expected of a building dating back to 1876. But after the ups and downs of massive repairs and renovations, this corner unit on Queen West and Bathurst Street shines once again!
This new store features two floors of beautiful, chic furniture and home decor accessories with those signature pops of colours that just scream CB2.
Speaking of colour, I couldn’t get enough of these kelly green throw pillows!
These bright, graphic plates also caught my eye. The table setting section had a fantastic selection of classic dinnerware to colourful, graphic, and even urban prints.
The entire space is outfitted from floor to ceiling, including this gorgeous lighting installation I came across. About two dozen glass orbs hang from the ceiling on bright yellow wires, each orb holding a tealight candle.
