Another Toronto-area mall is about to be engulfed by futuristic towers Ontario Mall
Opened all the way back in 1956 as Dixie Plaza, the mall was at the leading edge of shopping plaza development in the then-sleepy suburb.
Over 1,200 new residential units are proposed, along with 3.5 acres of parkland and public trails. New pedestrian connections are planned to provide access to area parks and an existing transit terminal located south of Queen Elizabeth Way and west of Dixie Road. "We identified these sites years ago as high-impact urban infill projects where we could apply our placemaking experience to bring to life more sustainable, people-centered developments," said Brandon Donnelly, Managing Director, Development at Slate, in a press release Wednesday morning.
