Didn’t the Coverdale ones get put on hold

I would think this has more appeal than cloverdale. But I don’t expect it to go forward in this market. But they know that. They are getting approval for the future. At some point we will build again. Maybe not 300 sq ft investor condos but people need places to live.

Resubmitted plans call for four new buildings rising to 41 storeys above the surface parking lot of Sherway Gardens, split between condominium and purpose-built rental. https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2025/1...wer-phase-1-redevelopment-plan-reworked.59600

I'm not sure that Street C on the diagram above really needs to be a through street. I think it's currently used as part of the mall parking lot to let cars circle the mall without going on Queensway. If those surface lots all get developed however, I wonder if a through street is still needed. You could make more of a sheltered park space if you closed the part between Block R2 and Block C1.

Absolutely, to compare Cloverdale and Sherway just because they are both nominally malls is nonsensical. For someone desiring a more suburban lifestyle, Sherway is stunning. Gardiner + 427 at your footstep, best shopping in the west end and about two dozen restos ranging from cheap mall food to high end Italian within spitting distance. Would it be my pick? No, but a lot of people like the area, and at a price point more attainable than the 1.5m bungalows nearby, it is very attractive for some.

This is actually an improvement over the last iteration.

But there are still many issues. the grade-level expression key among them.

Agreed, but the Queensway frontage is about 100x better than the typical arterial frontage we get from new devs. Separation from the roadway with a tree boulevard and a wide sidewalk with direct connections to building faces (not interrupted by useless lawns) is exactly what's needed in these contexts to make walking more than just tolerable.

Please, what is the point of such silliness in a dead market? How long before this is cancelled?

Others already pointed to the synergies at play for Sherway compared to Cloverdale, but more importantly, this can still advance as purpose-built rental.

Sherway is in a really difficult spot right now with how much empty square footage of space they have (Former Saks, Hudson's Bay, SportChek/Atmosphere, Nordstrom, even the former Holt Renfrew space). I wouldn't say it's "stunning" when it looks so empty and struggling financially.
