Bayview Village Shopping Centre is a shopping mall in the North York area of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, containing over 110 stores. The shopping mall is located at Bayview Avenue and Sheppard Avenue in the community of Willowdale, and neighbourhood of Bayview Village. ==History== Bayview Village was built in the 1960s as an open air mall. It was one of the numerous post-World War II small neighbourhood community malls that were built in the inner suburbs of Toronto where residential neighbourhoods were growing. All of these community plazas were strip malls with one or two anchors. By the 1990s, shopping trends changed to power centres anchored by big-box stores, and many of these community malls such as Honeydale Mall declined during this time. However Bayview Village stayed competitive as its owners frequently overhauled the property to keep up with current trends. To distinguish itself from larger shopping centres, the owners of Bayview Village gentrified and sought out high-end independent boutiques not available in larger malls.〔 Bayview Village was the host of the first GAP store in Canada. Bayview Village is located in the affluent neighbourhood of Bayview Village where significant transit-oriented condominium development has enabled it to thrive despite being close to the larger Fairview Mall.〔 In 2013, the mall was conditionally sold for $500 million to a British Columbian property company. This was the biggest single property sale of 2013.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bayview Village Shopping Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
