Big plans are being made for the area surrounding CF Sherway Gardens. The first phase of a new Master Plan has officially been announced, which will transform the Etobicoke region into a hub of residences, offices, parks, and more.
The new neighbourhood is described as a “vibrant, complete community” that will also open up opportunities for cyclists and pedestrians to enjoy the area. This would be a big change from what the area looks like now, which is basically just busy roads with heavy traffic around the mall.
Being one of Canada’s “most successful shopping centres,” Sherway Gardens will serve as the centerpiece of the new mixed-use community, which will urbanize the area and help it thrive, according to a press release by Cadillac Fairview (CF).
The first phase of the new community will be built on the north side of the shopping centre, fronting The Queensway.
