MIXED USE
Shops on Steeles
Toronto | Ontario
Our concept for Shops on Steeles in Markham is designed to bring vibrancy and life to an underused commercial property–a retail mall and restaurant pads surrounded by big parking lots. We needed to improve the mall while intensifying the use of land to bring the area to life.

Our plan includes consolidating all the retail to create room for high density residential on the site. It achieves many smart growth objectives by enhancing the commercial floor area, adding population that will support the commercial activities, redefining the public realm with new street front buildings and uses, hiding the majority of parking in decks or below grade, and providing alternative and affordable housing to the neighbourhood. The result is a sustainable mixed-use precinct in an existing community that provides necessary intensification.
