This is such a good location at the nexus of Etobicoke City Centre to the east and all the stuff happening along the West Mall with a motorway interchange to boot.
 
A huge pickle ball (sigh) facility has opened in the former Target/Covid space. It's free to play apparently. As much as I kind of hate this joke of a sport since it's geared towards those too incompetent for actual tennis and has thus exploded in popularity, I may just take my little boy there in the hope that an introduction to a racquet sport will induce him to take up actual tennis in the future...

I highly doubt this is the case, that wouldnt make sense for a number of reasons. Cloverdale Mall is a revenue generator (not the greatest but they still generate some cash for QuadReal), so why would QuadReal shutdown the whole mall and lose out on all that cash flow until they fully build out this whole project?

They havent even started building the first phase, do you really think they would empty out the whole mall before they even get around to building around the areas of the mall that arent in active use right now?

That particular tenant (whoever they are) will probably close by January 31, 2025 for whatever reason, but the whole mall is not going to close by that date. Unless QuadReal is completely crazy and/or have discovered a piggy bank worth billions that they can use to mobilize very quickly.

Depending on who this tenant is; they may close at that date. Perhaps they're one of the stores in the northern end of the mall. I noticed that all the cellphone stores at that end are gone and all grouped together near the LCBO. I would image there are a handfull of stores that will make the transition into the future development like the Winner, Metro, Pearle Vision and maybe Kitchen Plus or whatever.

No knock on the overall development, but I must say, I really dislike that style of pedestrian light fixture. Its very light polluting and exudes all the charm of an overfull garbage truck on a hot summer's day.

So we're going with "The Clove" for a marketing name.

What did the consultant get for that one? LOL

I mean we've all seen much, much worse as marketing names go........ but the first thing it makes me think of is Garlic. LOL

Not sure on who or their fees haha, but sometimes simple is best and doesn't stray too far from familiarity of the current use.

Maybe, "Lucky Charm City" would be better? lol

I don’t know why everyone needs to shorten everything. At least they didn’t initialize the name. TCD. TC. I dunno… sounds too corporate and we’ll stale.
