5 h. ago Plan to demolish Toronto mall for huge condo development falls flat after no one buys

One of the numerous Toronto-area shopping centres on track to be converted into a sprawling condo development has suddenly been left in limbo after the companies involved found themselves unable to sell enough units to justify construction.The 1956-built Cloverdale Mall at Highway 427 and the QEW was one of the first in a growing pack of "dying malls" in and around Toronto whose valuable properties are being reconsidered for use as high-density housing. A plan tabled in 2020 imagined 4,050 units along with tons of retail and community space across the 12-hectare site, and, over the years, the vision has been updated with a more modern, refined design for a complete neighbourhood.But, the first phase of the project, called Clove condos, has just come crashing down at the final hour in light of the present housing market, with virtually no one willing to buy in. Less than 10 per cent of the site's thousands of homes managed to pre-...
