Character

Storefronts face a network of private internal streets centred on a square which includes a clock tower, a fountain and interpretive historical plaques about the neighbourhood. The layout is similar to a regular neighbourhood retail area. On-site parking is available along the internal streets, in surface lots along the east side of the shopping centre and within a multi-level parkade at the west side.[6] Prominent tenants (with floor space) include: McEwan Fine Foods (22,000 sq ft),[7] Anthropologie (7,000 sq ft),[8] and Eataly (9,800 sq ft).[9]

The 10-metre (33 ft) clock tower in the square is an artwork by Douglas Coupland. The top of the tower sports a cluster of miniature houses, evocative of housing development in the Don Mills area.[10] A piece of wall-art is displayed on the Lawrence Avenue side; it was preserved following the demolition of a nearby 1962 Eatons department store building.[6]

Cadillac Fairview is promoting condominium buildings adjacent to Shops at Don Mills. These are being developed by FRAM Building Group and Lanterra Developments. A park and public spaces are also to be included in the community as part of Cadillac Fairview's master plan.[11]

History

The centre is located on the site of the demolished Don Mills Centre shopping mall. Increased competition from other shopping malls and the closure of main anchor tenant T. Eaton Co. meant declines in mall revenues and the exodus of many fashion retailers. The mall owner, developer Cadillac Fairview, decided to redevelop the site in 2003 to attract more up-scale retailers and shoppers, without a main anchor tenant. The developer proposed to demolish the indoor shopping mall and replace it with an open-air setting, along with an intensification of the site. The intensification meant the construction of a parking garage to replace the large surface parking lot. The development also included using Centre lands for new residential buildings. After community consultation, the plan was approved by the City of Toronto and the development proceeded. The Shops at Don Mills opened on April 22, 2009.[6][12]

McNally Robinson, a Canadian book-selling chain, was one of the first tenants, but the chain later decided to close the location in 2009, the same year it opened, due to a bankruptcy restructuring. The store had 1,900 m2 (20,000 sq ft) of retail space including an 80-seat restaurant.[13]

On August 15, 2014, Cineplex VIP Cinemas Don Mills opened at the Shops at Don Mills. It has five auditoriums with a combined capacity of 500 seats.[14]

In the first half of 2024, Eataly will open its third location in Toronto within the shopping centre. The food hall will occupy two retail spaces having a combined area of almost 910 m2 (9,800 sq ft).[9]
