Alberni Street

Alberni Street is a road in Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, once considered a nondescript commercial street. In the 2010s, the street transformed into a centre for fine restaurants[1] and high-end luxury retail stores.[2] Beginning with a flagship store for De Beers diamonds that opened in 2013, Alberni Street and its environs are now home to the majority of luxury brands in Vancouver, including Burberry, Escada, Tiffany & Co., Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Gucci and Ferragamo. Several high-rise condominium buildings have been constructed along the street as well.
