History
Erin Mills Town Centre was built on a land that had been accumulated by E. P. Taylor's "Don Mills Developments" in 1954. The mall opened in 1989 and was owned and managed by Cadillac Fairview until it was purchased by the Ontario Pension Board in 2010 for $370 million(CAD). Excavation for the mall was started in 1987, and completed in 1989. There was a large clock tower at the centre of the mall, though this was replaced with a glass sphere during the (CAD)$100 million redevelopment. A Cineplex Odeon movie theatre was closed in 2000 and was replaced by Old Navy and Sport Chek stores. In addition, there was a daycare which was converted to retail space in 2005. The mall also had a mini-golf course located in the centre court, but it was converted into an upscale café. In 2008, a plaza outside the mall, but on the mall grounds was built. The plaza consisted of Indigo Books, LCBO, and more. There was also an older plaza located on mall grounds which consisted of Dollarama, Home Sense, Menchies, and also a salon.
Redevelopment
In July 2013, a $100 million redevelopment was announced which would include the replacement of the centre court clock tower with "an outstanding and iconic glass sphere 283 feet in circumference" that would open up sightlines and increase the amount of natural light. This renovation would be the first major renovation, since mall opening in 1989. Other renovations would include elevating the skylights and replacing them with modern clerestory windows, new LED lighting, new European limestone flooring and a new main entrance. The food court was completed in Spring 2015 and was completely redesigned and expanded. It featured high ceilings and large windows. Many stores, including Shoppers Drug Mart, were renovated for a modern look, matching the redevelopment. The remainder of the redevelopment was completed in late Summer 2016, five months over schedule.
The construction developer was Broccolini Construction Inc. and mandated by 20Vic Management, renovating approximately 800,000 square feet (74,000 m2) and adding an extra 25,000 square feet (2,300 m2) of expansion through the food court and other shopping areas. Erin Mills Town Centre remained open throughout the redevelopment, but opened at 8:00 AM every weekday.
Incidents
Erin Mills Town Centre has not had many incidents since opening in 1989. But the mall did have a few incidents and they include:
2012 Robbery
The 2012 robbery at Erin Mills Town Centre was the first crime to occur at the mall. It happened shortly after 8 p.m. on October 16, 2012 at the Peoples Jewellers store at the mall. The robbers managed to take an undisclosed amount of money, and jewellery. Fortunately, there were no injuries.
Renovation Incident
During the $100 million mall renovation, there was one incident, injuring a worker. On June 11, 2014, shortly after 11 p.m., a roof truss collapsed, causing other beams to fall, one falling on the worker, pinning him under a steel beam. The worker was airlifted from Credit Valley Hospital, by Ornge air ambulance to a nearby trauma centre in Toronto.
