History

Lansdowne Centre mall was built on a horse racing track originally called Lansdowne Park.[4] The current mall that exists today was constructed in 1977 as Lansdowne Park Shopping Mall, with the now-defunct Woodward's as one of its first tenants.[5]

The mall will be demolished in 2025 as part of a 20-hectare (50-acre) development, consisting of 24 towers.[6]

Stores

The mall has 120+ stores and services. Anchor stores include Best Buy, HomeSense, Jysk, Toys "R" Us, Winners, Dollarama, and T&T Supermarket which replaced Target as a result of the Target Canada failure.[7][8]

Food chains include Bubble Waffle Cafe, Grill King, and Villa Vietnamese.
