Eastgate Square Mall might be getting a massive makeover according to concepts released earlier this year.
Harrison Equity Partners – the owner of Eastgate Square – is planning to redevelop the southern portion of the 45-acre property into a high-rise, transit-oriented community spanning 10 blocks and over 5,000 residential units.
This new development will reduce the shopping area from approximately 511,300 square feet to 300,000 square feet. The heights of the towers range from 3-storey townhomes along Kenora Avenue to towers reaching at least 42 storeys in the southwestern portion of the property.
While these early concepts were submitted to the City back in May, the timeline for the project remains unknown. However, it will likely not begin construction for at least a couple of years.
The plans propose that the development will occur in three phases. Harrison Equity Partners also plan to build a new public road between Centennial Parkway and Kenora Avenue.
The redevelopment proposal is yet another in a trend of commercial redevelopments in Hamilton including a similar project proposed at Lime Ridge Mall.

25.04.2023 11:31 pmBesides building all these buildings that are going to be unaffordable housing, why is Eastgate Mall the only mall that closes at 8pm? It use to 9pm. 10pm during xmas. Is it so people who are renting spaces lose that one hr of business? Pretty sneaky! What’s going to happen to the stores all of us low income use?
