Lanterra Developments and Cadillac Fairview go way back when it comes to transforming Toronto.
More than a decade ago, the companies partnered on the development of Maple Leaf Square, a mixed-use condo project that pioneered South Core, now a bustling retail-entertainment destination. They followed it up with Ice Condos, landmark towers at the foot of York Street that have helped further reclaim what was once a no-man’s land between the railway corridor and the Gardiner Expressway.
“We have an excellent working relationship,” Lanterra chairman Mark Mandelbaum tells Epoch Times. Which is why Cadillac Fairview invited his firm to partake in the next stage of residential development at CF Shops at Don Mills—another transformative project, Ontario’s first outdoor urban-lifestyle retail centre.
Lanterra will develop four condo buildings, all with retail at the ground-level lining a southward extension of O'Neill Drive (where Joey Restaurant is located, and Taylors Landing just opened). The first phase, launching this fall, is Rodeo Drive, a 32-storey tower with 425 units (priced from $280,900 to over $586,900).
