Agincourt Mall provides a unique city-building opportunity, founded on the retail history of the site while leveraging connections to existing neighbourhoods, transit, parks and open spaces.
Renewal at Agincourt Mall can be a catalyst in strengthening one of Scarborough’s most significant neighbourhoods. Creating new community infrastructure will make this area of Toronto more vibrant, more connected and better suited for tomorrow.
U of T’s Institute for New Suburbanism says: "What if the suburbs were actually the centre of a city? A collection of urban islands—complete communities for residents to work, dine, shop, gather with friends and family, and travel throughout with multiple transportation options."
