Henderson Place: Mall and Henderson

henderson place: Celine's got a simile to describe the mall Henderson Place is to Coquitlam Centre like Crystal Mall is to Metrotown, according to Metro News. Locals call malls like Henderson Place and Crystal Mall Asian malls because of their clientele. Celine and Tara just got off school and are having a snack with some friends at Henderson Place. These suburban malls function like Chinatowns, only indoor, with independent shops and services catered to East Asian immigrants. The company is also behind Vancouver's International Village Mall, once known as Tinseltown. But Henderson Development, which built its namesake mall in 1999, wanted it to be multicultural, said Vivian Zhang, the company's leasing and marketing manager. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
