Yorkdale Intensification

The Yorkdale Mall Masterplan is an exciting redevelopment for one of the Greater Toronto Area’s largest and most iconic shopping malls. While working around and maintaining the existing mall, the redevelopment will concentrate on the surrounding space, utilizing the crescent-shaped site’s approximate 5 million sq ft to introduce 19 mixed-use new towers, including a mix of retail, office, and hotel spaces. The masterplan places an emphasis on sustainability and a resilient public realm, allocating about 24% of the site’s area to open space functions including dynamic community spaces and three new public parks in the site’s western corner which will act as a welcoming, natural gateway into Yorkdale. Pedestrianized pathways, neighbourhood-focused promenades, an underground network for parking, and retail-oriented high streets will be woven throughout the site, further defining the Yorkdale Mall masterplan as a cohesive and dynamic mixed-use community.
