Like many suburban malls, Shoppers World is encircled by vast expanses of surface parking. We see these underused lands as an opportunity to create a place where people can live, work, shop, and gather. Our Landscape First strategy weaves together retail, residential, and public spaces into a connected whole. Informed by the site’s agricultural heritage, location at the crest of two watersheds, and surrounding natural ecology, the master plan establishes a coherent design framework to guide the next 20 years of transformation, grounded in its authentic landscape identity.

The plan centres on a major open space that extends Kaneff Park through new streets and green corridors linking to Etobicoke Creek, Fletcher’s Creek, and the regional trail system. Medium- and high-density buildings frame pedestrian-oriented streets and plazas, integrating stormwater management, native planting, and climate-resilient design. This approach strengthens transit ridership, supports retail vitality, and reconnects the site to its broader ecological network—showing how intensification can create both economic and environmental value.
