11 towers to rise in place of shuttered Hudson's Bay location
An Ontario mall anchored by a recently shuttered Hudson’s Bay location will be totally demolished to make way for an enormous new community with 11 towers.
Pre-application plans revealed in April highlight plans to redevelop a portion of the Burlington Centre mall lands at 777 Guelph Line, just the latest in a series of planned and active mall redevelopments reshaping the region’s retail landscape.
A numbered corporation has submitted plans that would see the mall’s former Hudson’s Bay location and an Active Green + Ross service centre razed and replaced by a collection of high-rise towers centred around a new public park.

The Turner Fleischer Architects-designed community would create its own localized skyline on the north side of Prospect Street at Dynes Road, with the proposed buildings ranging in height from 23 to 37 storeys.
A whopping 3,476 residential units are planned across the site, along with almost 7,280 square metres of new retail space.
Concept plans include a proposed park measuring 4,582 square metres, exceeding the mandatory 10 per cent minimum site area parkland contribution.
The concept rendering of this park shows a greenspace flanked by towers and offering winding paths.
Locals will have the chance to learn more about the project during a pre-application community meeting on Tuesday, April 22, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at Makwendam Public School, or by remote Zoom link.
