Reimagining a Sprawling Suburban Mall Property as a Vibrant Urban Centre

Across North America, malls in urban and suburban settings with large surface parking lots are transforming to meet increasing demands for additional housing and outdoor public spaces that are freely accessible and adaptable to community needs.
 
Promenade Mall–originally built in 1986 as a suburban shopping centre–is undergoing a profound transformation that aligns with this urban design movement.
 
In our role as landscape architect and urban designer, we're collaborating with Liberty Development and a multi-disciplinary project team to recast the mall's surrounding lands into a place for people to gather, socialize, shop, work, learn and live.
