Current Story

In 2007, a proposed Bridlewood Mall Development Project was introduced by the city council to build eight condominium buildings in the Mall parking lot. The original plan included 1,370 units with a maximum building height of 38-storeys.

Three years later, in 2010, the developer agreed to reduce the number of units to 975 and the maximum height of the buildings to 25-storeys after numerous negotiations with the Citizens' Working Group and the office of Mike Del Grande and City staff to have a more reasonable development instead.

In 2011, changes are proposed to this project since a new Target Canada store is planned to be built in this mall. Target indicated to the mall owners that it requires a clear sight line to

Finch

for their signage. Accordingly, to build 25-storeys at the corner of Warden and Finch Avenues was now not feasible and subsequently the plans have changed.

The developers- Malibu Inc.-indicated that the number of units will remain unchanged at 975, however, the size of each individual unit will be reduced. In addition, they are now proposing to build all three buildings at the north end of the mall (Warden and Glen Springs Avenues) instead of in phases. These changes would mean that construction would finish sooner. In addition to the accelerated timeframe, there would also be a larger green space at the corner of Warden and Finch Avenues.
