History
Erin Mills Town Centre was built on a land that had been accumulated by E. P. Taylor's Don Mills Developments in 1954.[2] The mall opened in 1989 and was owned and managed by Cadillac Fairview until it was purchased by the Ontario Pension Board in 2010 for $370 million.[3] There is a large clock tower at the centre of the mall.[4] A Cineplex Odeon movie theatre was closed in 2000 and was replaced by Old Navy and Sport Chek stores. In addition, there was a daycare which was converted to retail space in 2005. The mall also had a mini-golf course located in the centre court, but it was converted into an upscale café. [5]
Redevelopment
On Thursday July 11, 2013, it was announced that the mall would receive a $100 million Redevelopment. The Redevelopment would include the replacement of the centre court clock tower with "an outstanding and iconic glass sphere 283 feet in circumference" that would open up sightlines and flood the shopping centre with natural light. In addition, the Redevelopment would bring a host of new amenities throughout the centre including: elevating the existing skylights and replacing them with modern clerestory windows, new LED lighting, new European limestone flooring and a spectacular new main entrance. The beautiful new food court, completed in Spring 2015, was completely redesigned and substantially expanded, now offering shoppers a fresh new dining experience. The new food court features unprecedented 30' ceilings and wall to wall, floor to ceiling windows with amazing views of the city of Mississauga. The remainder of the Redevelopment is set to be completed by Spring 2016. [6][7][8]
The construction project is being handled by the developer Broccolini and is mandated by 20Vic Management Inc., renovating the existing approx. 800,000 sq ft. and adding an extra 25,000 sq ft. of expansion through the food court and other shopping areas. Erin Mills Town Centre will continue to operate throughout the Redevelopment to "preserve the shopping experience of customers coming to visit the mall". [9]
