A resubmission has been filed with the City of Toronto for the first phase of the Sherway Gardens Redevelopment<\/a>, setting the stage for the transformation of the major mall’s surface parking areas in Etobicoke. Led by Diamond Corp<\/a> and Cadillac Fairview<\/a>, the reworked plan is designed by Adamson Associates Architects<\/a>, replacing Hariri Pontarini Architects<\/a>. Four new buildings rising to 41 storeys are planned, split between condominium and purpose-built rental.<\/p>\n The Phase 1 lands occupy a portion on the north side of the wider property, alongside of The Queensway just west of North Queen Street. Besides the enclosed mall, the surroundings include Queensway Health Centre hospital to the west, big box retail and restaurants to the north, and condos built in the last decade to the south. To the immediate east is the Highway 427\/QEW\/Gradiner Expressway interchange.<\/p>\n The developers first submitted an Official Plan Amendment in 2019, coinciding with the adoption of the City’s Sherway Area Secondary Plan, which the developer initially appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal. Zoning and subdivision applications for the first phase followed in 2021<\/a>, with resubmissions in 2023 reflecting adjustments to height and site area. After Council endorsed a settlement of the developer\u2019s appeals in late 2024, the OLT approved a modified version of OPA 469 in early 2025, clearing the way for the current Zoning By-law Amendment resubmission.<\/p>\n The new proposal calls for four towers from 14 to 41 storeys (54.15m to 136.77m). Compared to the 2021 version, which envisioned towers of 30 to 45 storeys, and the 2023 plan with heights of 12 to 41 storeys, the latest scheme redistributes massing with one shorter building offset by three taller towers. Podiums have been reconfigured, with the shared base of the condo towers split to create a north\u2013south pedestrian mews.<\/p>\n Altogether, Phase 1 would deliver 1,650 homes, up from 1,578 in 2021 and 1,495 in 2023, across 940 condominium and 710 rental units. Residential uses would account for 110,295m\u00b2 of the 111,688m\u00b2 total Gross Floor Area, complemented by 1,393m\u00b2 of retail at grade. This reflects a shift from the 118,392m\u00b2 and 110,290m\u00b2 totals in 2021 and 2023, respectively, with a Floor Space Index of 5.56 times coverage of this 3.22-hectare portion of the site. The updated layout introduces three new public streets.<\/p>\n The amenity program has been scaled back in the latest resubmission, with 2,462m\u00b2 of indoor space and 1,812m\u00b2 outdoors. This marks a reduction from 3,599m\u00b2 indoors and 3,493m\u00b2 outdoors in 2021, and 3,514m\u00b2 indoors with 3,204m\u00b2 outdoors in 2023. Vertical circulation would be supported by four elevators in each high-rise and three in the 14-storey building, resulting in ratios ranging from one cab per 66 units in the shortest building to one per 110\u2013125 units in the towers, necessitating high-speed motors in the tallest towers for adequate response times.\u00a0<\/p>\n Phasing has been sequenced to prioritize rental housing, with a 41-storey rental tower advancing first under a separate site plan application, followed by a 40-storey condominium tower, and finally a 35-storey condo and the 14-storey rental building.<\/p>\n Public realm contributions would include a 2,120m\u00b2 POPS (Privately-Owned Publicly-accessible Space) and 2,131m\u00b2 of unencumbered parkland, paired with 946m\u00b2 of additional encumbered open space. Together, these parcels provide about 3,077m\u00b2 of landscaped space, compared to 3,061m\u00b2 of parkland in 2021 and 2,333m\u00b2 in 2023. A new north\u2013south mews would link The Queensway to the POPS.\u00a0<\/p>\n Below grade, a three-level garage would accommodate 829 vehicular spaces for residents and 84 for visitors, a drop from 1,671 stalls in 2021 and 1,395 in 2023. Bicycle infrastructure has grown, now offering 1,244 spaces (up from 1,188 in 2021 and 1,160 in 2023) split between 1,124 long-term and 120 short-term stalls.<\/p>\n TTC buses ply The Queensway and North Queen Street just steps from Phase 1, while the Sherway Bus Terminal at the southwest corner of the mall \u2014 a five-to-ten-minute walk \u2014 offers more TTC bus routes as well as Mississauga’s MiWay bus routes. A right-of-way is being protected for a potential west extension of the Bloor Line 2 subway, which could one day have a subway stop at The Queensway and The West Mall. For cyclists, future plans include a widened 9.5-metre boulevard on The Queensway with a bi-directional cycle track and sidewalks.<\/p>\n There is other development activity nearby the mall. To the west, the Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre<\/a> is being expanded with new hospital wings of eight and nine storeys. To the north, 1750 The Queensway<\/a> is seeking approval for eight buildings rising between 6 and 38 storeys, while to the southeast, 580 Evans<\/a> is planned with five towers ranging from 9 to 38 storeys.<\/p>\n UrbanToronto will continue to follow progress on this development, but in the meantime, you can learn more about it from our Database file, linked below.
