The 631000square feet, built on 40acres,[1] opened 17 October 1979 and is located by the intersection of St. Mary's Road and Abinojii Mikanah.[2] It opened with Eaton's, The Bay, and Woolco as anchor tenants.[3] The mall was renovated in 1986, 1998, and 2013.[2]

The building has six anchor tenants and 160 smaller stores, and has a gross leasable area of 926310square feet including the freestanding Co-op grocery store, CIBC, Montana's Cookhouse, McDonald's, Old Navy, and Earls.[4] St. Vital Centre is owned by the Ontario Pension Board and was previously managed by 20 VIC Management Inc. to 2017 and Cushman & Wakefield Asset Services ULC to December 2020. Management of St. Vital Centre is now done by BentallGreenOak (Canada) LP.

The mall has 4,661 parking spaces, as well as a city transit bus depot positioned close to an entrance.[2] [5] As of 2001, the mall serves approximately 53,825 households within a 5 kilometre radius, with an average household income of $56,925.[3] The location sees approximately 178,000 pedestrians per week.[2]

The mall recycles plastics and aluminum in their food court, and paper in their offices, and recycles of cardboard every year.[6]
