Sherway Gardens

Sherway Gardens opened in 1971 at 25 The West Mall in the Etobicoke district of Toronto, with approximately 110,000 sqm of gross leasable area following the 2015-2017 expansion that added a new wing and elevated the property’s luxury positioning. The property is owned and managed by Cadillac Fairview as the leading premium regional shopping centre for Toronto’s west end.

The 2015-2017 expansion fundamentally repositioned Sherway Gardens from a standard enclosed regional mall into Etobicoke’s premium fashion destination, adding Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and a renovated Hudson’s Bay as three simultaneous department-store anchors. That configuration proved short-lived: Nordstrom closed all its Canadian stores in 2023, and Hudson’s Bay and Saks Fifth Avenue both closed on June 1, 2025 as part of Hudson’s Bay Company’s national liquidation, leaving the property without a traditional department-store anchor within roughly two years. Splitsville Bowl is taking approximately 34,000 sqft of the former 140,000-sqft Nordstrom space, with the remainder still awaiting redevelopment. The highway 427 and QEW junction immediately adjacent to the property provides accessibility from across Etobicoke, Mississauga’s east end, and the airport corridor. Sporting Life, H&M, and Zara anchor the current fashion and lifestyle floors alongside premium jewellery and lifestyle boutiques.

The Etobicoke catchment of approximately 400,000 residents forms the primary residential base, with the Mississauga east end and the airport-area professional and corporate community supplementing the residential draw. The 427/QEW interchange gives the property exceptional highway access from across the western GTA. Surface parking for over 3,500 vehicles accommodates the predominantly car-dependent Etobicoke and Mississauga catchment.

Cadillac Fairview manages Sherway Gardens as the Toronto west end anchor alongside the Eaton Centre and Fairview Mall. The 2015-2017 expansion was the decisive commercial repositioning, it moved the property from regional community mall competition with suburban counterparts into premium fashion destination competition with Yorkdale, a shift that elevated retail productivity per square foot substantially.
