Mattamy Homes and QuadReal Property Group have officially launched The Clove, marking the first phase of the ambitious Cloverdale Mall redevelopment in Etobicoke. The project's launch sets the stage for a community aiming to bring modern living to a neighbourhood filled with history and one of Toronto's first malls, dating back to 1956.
Situated at the northwest corner of Dundas Street West and The East Mall Crescent in Etobicoke's Cloverdale neighbourhood, The Clove will be a sleek 33-storey tower alongside a complementary nine-storey mid-rise building, collectively offering 606 residential units. The design by Giannone Petricone Associates, with landscape architecture by Janet Rosenberg & Studio and interiors by U31, draws inspiration from the modern heritage of the original Cloverdale Mall.
The Clove's architecture will showcase a textured facade combining terracotta panels, metal accents, and expansive glass elements. Horizontal ribbons wrap around the tower's corners, contrasting the strong vertical lines of the mid-rise. With the tower set to terrace down towards a new park to the north, a central garden courtyard will provide more welcoming green space for residents and visitors, while a mix of retail will fill much of the adjacent ground floor space.
Residents will have access to amenities totalling approximately 26,000 ft² across the complex. Indoor amenities will include The Maker Space, a dedicated area for creative pursuits, including a recording studio for aspiring musicians and podcasters. The Family & Game Lounge and The Kids Lounge will be a versatile space for communal activities and personal relaxation. Outside on the second floor, The Terrace will offer greenery and views, complete with grilling stations, dining tables, and lounge seating.
Sustainability is a major driver of the building's design, with the development employing geothermal heating and cooling systems, with energy recovery ventilators and heat pumps providing energy efficiency and better air quality. Select parking spots are to be equipped with electric vehicle charging stations.
Smart thermostats will enable residents to control their home's climate remotely. Residents will have digital access control via smartphones to enter the lobby and amenities, as well as to lock and unlock their suites. A resident communications app will keep everyone informed about community events and allow easy booking of amenities.
Each residential unit is designed with high-quality finishes. This includes kitchens that boast quartz countertops, tile backsplashes, and stainless steel. Bathrooms include quartz counters with undermount sinks, complemented by modern fixtures and tiling. Balconies and cascading terraces will allow for ample outdoor space, with some over 700 ft².
The Clove is the first phase of QuadReal's Cloverdale Mall redevelopment, a project transforming the 32-acre site. Upon completion, the masterplanned development will include approximately 15 new buildings, adding over 5,000 residential units to the area. The plan includes more than 180,000 ft² of new retail space and green space, with public parks, trail systems, and community amenities totalling over 23,000 ft².
The Clove is a short TTC ride or four-minute drive to Kipling station, providing access to GO Transit, the TTC, and MiWay services, while a Dundas Street bus stop is a minute's walk away. In addition, drivers will have quick access to Highway 427. The masterplan emphasizes walkability, with interconnected streets and public spaces.
Community engagement has been a critical part of the redevelopment process, with input from over 15,000 local residents helping shape the project's direction. Both Mattamy Homes and QuadReal Property Group emphasize their commitment to preserving Cloverdale's legacy while encouraging future growth.
