Initial Construction
The Sherway Gardens mall, a $21.5 million project, was revealed to the public by Sherway Gardens Limited on February 24, 1971. The mall was originally built in an “S” shape design. Communal events and promotional activities took place at the center of the mall. This location was exceptionally popular because of the 31 ft high skylight featured there. Similar to other shopping centres, Sherway Gardens contains fountains, lush indoor greenery, benches and couches to help maximize the experience and enjoyment of shopping. Unlike the designs of other malls, such as the Toronto Eaton Centre, Sherway Gardens was built with “intimate low ceilings” which provides an inviting atmosphere for shoppers.

Famous quotes containing the words initial and/or construction:
“No punishment has ever possessed enough power of deterrence to prevent the commission of crimes. On the contrary, whatever the punishment, once a specific crime has appeared for the first time, its reappearance is more likely than its initial emergence could ever have been.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
