The first enclosed shopping mall in Toronto was the Toronto Arcade in the downtown core. The first shopping mall of the enclosed, automobile-centred design type was Yorkdale Shopping Centre, which opened in 1964.Table of ContentsMajor shopping centres[edit]District or neighbourhood shopping centres[edit]Ethnic malls[edit]Malls located within major office buildings and condominium towers[edit]Path underground shopping complex[edit]Open-air shopping plazas[edit]Power centres[edit]Flea markets[edit]Former shopping malls[edit]Former flea markets[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]Major shopping centres[edit]Toronto’s five major shopping centres each have over one hundred stores and are anchored by multiple department stores, international brands and luxury retailers. They are also the five largest malls in Toronto by floor space. Each provides thousands of automobile parking spaces. With the exception of Sherway Gardens, all of these malls have direct pedestrian connections with the Toronto subway system, though Sherway Gardens has a bus terminal connecting Toronto Transit Commission and MiWay bus routes. Yorkdale Shopping Centre is Toronto’s first of its kind and was the world’s largest shopping mall at the time of opening,[1] while Toronto Eaton Centre is the most visited shopping mall in North America. These five malls were completed within a 13-year span in the 1960s and 1970s. The five malls are owned by either Cadillac Fairview or Oxford Properties, two of Canada’s largest commercial real estate investment companies. A sixth major mall is planned by Cadillac Fairview in Toronto’s planned East Harbour neighbourhood by the intersection of Don Valley Parkway and Gardiner Expressway\/Lake Shore Boulevard and be also served by the East Harbour station on the Ontario Line.[2]  NameDistrictMajor intersectionDirect subway connectionDeveloper\/operatorRetail spaceYear openedFairview MallNorth YorkDon Mills Road\u2014Sheppard AvenueDon MillsCadillac Fairview81,874\u00a0m2 (881,280\u00a0sq\u00a0ft)1970Scarborough Town CentreScarboroughMcCowan Road\u2014Highway 401Scarborough CentreOxford Properties121,467\u00a0m2 (1,307,460\u00a0sq\u00a0ft)1973Sherway GardensEtobicokeThe Queensway\u2014The West MallCadillac Fairview109,800\u00a0m2 (1,182,000\u00a0sq\u00a0ft)1971Toronto Eaton CentreOld TorontoYonge Street\u2014Dundas StreetYonge Street\u2014Queen StreetDundasQueenCadillac Fairview159,979\u00a0m2 (1,722,000\u00a0sq\u00a0ft)1977Yorkdale Shopping CentreNorth YorkAllen Road\u2014Highway 401YorkdaleOxford Properties171,473\u00a0m2 (1,845,720\u00a0sq\u00a0ft)1964District or neighbourhood shopping centres[edit]The district or neighbourhood level of shopping centres in Toronto are typically built around one or a few department stores or grocery supermarkets and are enclosed. These shopping centres typically provide a surrounding free parking lot. Most of these are located in the suburbs of Toronto, where land was available for parking. There are only two shopping malls of this type within Toronto’s pre-1998 city limits: Dufferin Mall (on Dufferin Street south of Bloor Street and north of College Street) and Gerrard Square (on Gerrard Street East east of Pape Avenue and west of Jones Avenue). The third shopping mall in Old Toronto, Galleria Shopping Centre (at Dufferin Street and Dupont Street), was demolished in January 2020. There are a few ethnic malls of this type as well.

This type typically does not provide a surrounding parking lot. These malls typically house from a dozen to several dozen stores. Most of these are connected to a station of the Toronto subway system. In the case of the Hudson’s Bay Centre, the mall connects the department store to the Toronto subway system at Bloor\u2013Yonge station. Some of these malls can be located in the taller condominium towers. These malls are located in the core (Old Toronto), unless marked otherwise:Path underground shopping complex[edit]  In Downtown Toronto, primarily in the Financial District, there are interconnected shopping malls located at least one flight of stairs underground. The complex as a whole is named ‘Path’. The Toronto Eaton Centre (see above) is connected to the complex. The complex has 1,200 stores, and according to Guinness World Records, the Path is the largest underground shopping complex in the world with 371,600\u00a0m2 (4,000,000\u00a0sq\u00a0ft) of retail space.[4]Open-air shopping plazas[edit]Open-air shopping plazas are larger collections of stores built with surrounding parking areas, with parking spaces separated from the storefronts by sidewalks. These shopping centres generally serve the local surrounding area and have a large proportion of family-run businesses, some of which serve ethnic communities.
