ULI Toronto: The Final Urban Frontier: Developing the GTA’s Mall Sites
The GTA's never-ending development pressures, which necessitate massive urban, mixed-use housing supply to counter suburban sprawl, have one final frontier: major shopping malls. As a wave of redevelopment and densification projects sweeps across the region, redefining both the retail experience and community living, the GTA has emerged as a North American leader.
Join ULI Toronto as we explore four projects at the forefront of this development wave and meet the people leading the way.
