About the project
In June 2019, the Reimagining the Mall Directions Report was presented and endorsed at Planning and Development Committee. We are now preparing an Official Plan Amendment to implement the recommendations outlined in the Directions Report.
On September 28, 2020 we presented the final draft Official Plan Amendment and Recommendation Report related to Mississauga’s mall-based nodes to the City’s Planning and Development Committee at a public meeting.
Mississauga is growing and our communities are evolving. To ensure the healthy development of our City, we are creating policies to direct potential redevelopment and intensification at strategic areas. The Reimagining the Mall project will guide the long-term evolution of six (6) areas anchored by the following indoor shopping malls:
The study will help to ensure that future intensification in these areas is done in a way that fosters healthy, mixed-use communities. The idea being that you can live, work, play and raise a family all within your own “complete community". The purpose of the project is to make sure that land use policy is proactively in place should a landowner choose to redevelop in the future.
Reimagining the Mall is being led by the City of Mississauga in partnership with the Region of Peel. A consultant team led by Gladki Planning Associates, and supported by DTAH and urbanMetrics, is providing specialized expertise in land use planning, policy development, urban design, and finance.
COVID-19 Community Engagement Update: While we continue to respond to this pandemic, we are working hard to deliver essential services and projects to keep our City moving and safe. While we can’t connect in-person at this time, we still want to connect! Please find on this site the ways you can keep updated on this project’s progress and share your opinions and ideas.
Have your say
Have suggestions about how we can reimagine our malls and the areas around them? We want to hear from you! Each phase of the engagement process will have a variety of ways to participate. Check back often to learn about the ways you can get involved online and in-person.

Also is their going to be a service desk area in the mall for people to go to and ask questions regarding the mall and get a map for the mall or directions to each store.

The
Reimagining the Mall project has created policies for the future redevelopment
of the City’s mall-based nodes, including the Malton Community Node. The City
has not received development applications from the landowner of Westwood
Square, which is part of the Malton Community Node. Leasing and operational
issues are not controlled by City policy but are decided by the landowner of
the mall.

Any Update on whats exactly going to happen to the sheridan centre.
We know dunpar developments (townhouse makers) purchased it
Rumours are a condo is going up and metro, shoppers, lenscrafters are staying put?
Is part of the mall being torn down ?

The City has not received a
development application nor a demolition permit for the Sheridan Centre.
It will be up to the owners to
determine if and when they want to redevelop their property.

Since Sheridan Mall has recently been sold to Dunpar Homes, a residential and commercial developer, what are the immediate plans for the Mall. It would be tragic for many if they did not agree to have retail, i.e. grocery store, in the Mall.

Dunpar has purchased the Sheridan Centre and is
aware of the Reimagining the Mall project, but they have not approached the
City with a development application or a proposal to date. The desire to
maintain and improve everyday retail shopping such as grocery stores, aligns
with the project goals of Reimagining the Mall.

With the recent addition to green standards across the GTA, I think it would be great to see some electric car charging stations somewhere on these sites. I know this has been adopted by surrounding area malls - is this something that can be considered?
JJ
asked

Mississauga has Green Development Standards which are used to
encourage applicants to incorporate sustainable elements into proposed
buildings and sites. The Standards are applied when staff receive a development proposal, not on existing properties. However, they have not been updated to incorporate
electric vehicle charging stations.
It's worth noting that many shopping malls are voluntarily incorporating electric vehicle charging stations into their parking lots.

What were the parameters that you used to choose these six indoor malls?
Moaz
asked
over 3 years ago
Thanks for the question! The site selection criteria for the study
were:
1. The site is identified
as a ‘Major Node’ or ‘Community Node’ in Chapters 13 and 14 of the City’s
Official Plan;
2. The
node is anchored by an indoor shopping mall.
For more details on the function and characteristics of Major
Nodes and Community Nodes, please refer to Chapter 5 of the Official Plan.

Would large strip malls like woodchester benefit from a project like this? Mavis/Britannia?
brandon
asked
over 3 years ago
The results of Reimagining the Mall may help to inform future policies that address large strip malls. However, the six mall areas included in
Reimagining the Mall were selected because they are designated as either a
‘Major Node’ or ‘Community Node’ in Chapter 5 of the City’s Official Plan. These areas have different functions and characteristics than strip
malls. They are identified as key areas for intensification, mixed use
development, with enhanced connectivity, transit, and community infrastructure.
