It looks like Etobicoke’s Cloverdale Mall is getting a totally new, cool look. 

According to Urban Toronto, a major developer, QuadReal, has submitted zoning applications for the mall and the surrounding area. If approved, the empty space around the mall will be built up to be a series of multiple different condo buildings, ranging in size from low, mid, and high-rise. 

The ground level of the complex will feature many storefronts and restaurants for both residents and passersby to enjoy. Additionally, there will also be plenty of parks and greenspace throughout the area, including rooftop greenery as QuadReal focussed on creating a sustainable community.

The ground level will also include a food market building and a community centre. 

Basically, everything you need can be found in the new area surrounding Cloverdale Mall. 

When finished, this area is going to turn into its own mini-neighbourhood. 

With a glass-covered roof, you don’t have to worry about bad weather ruining your trip to the mall. The space also includes multiple levels of above and underground parking, along with bicycle and pedestrian paths. No matter how you choose to get to Cloverdale Mall, you will be able to get around the area. 

QuadReal’s main goal for this new development is to encourage residents of its buildings as well as community members to enjoy the new retail stores and greenery. 

This redevelopment is much needed for Cloverdale Mall in order to give it a modern look that will bring a new group of shoppers in.

Yorkdale could look drastically different in the upcoming decade. The CBC is reporting that Yorkdale and the surrounding area has a plan to radically add to Yorkdales offering and include condos, offices and even a hotel.  The city invited local residents to a town-hall style meeting to get feedback on the possible changes to the neighborhood.

The CBC reports that the mall owners plan on submitting an application that asks the city to amend city by-laws in the area to allow the north and west parking areas to be developed into a mix of commercial and residential space.   While a concept like this is certainly intriguing, city residents and city councilors are concerned that adding that level of property to the neighborhood will cause even more pedestrian and driver congestion in an area that is already a trouble zone. If you’ve ever tried to get onto the 401 from Dufferin you understand the headache-inducing traffic that typically surrounds Yorkdale mall.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the potential new development is the proposed eight-storey boutique hotel that would cater to an upscale clientele. The project will develop over the next 20 years, and could potentially be the catalyst to revitalizing the entire Dufferin corridor.
