Fairview Mall is a major shopping centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Just under 1 million ft2, it is on the northeast corner of Don Mills Road and Sheppard Avenue. It is owned by Cadillac Fairview, one of Canada's largest real estate property managers and developers. The mall is currently undergoing renovation.[1]
Notable stores include: the first Canadian H&M, Rainbow Cinemas, Roots Canada, Laura Secord, and Baskin-Robbins.
It is adjacent to the Parkway Forest, Henry Farm, Don Valley Village, and Seneca Hill neighbourhoods. The Peanut is immediately to the north, and Fairview Public Library is located just outside the mall.
Cadillac Fairview also operates Fairview Park Mall in Kitchener, Ontario, often simply called 'Fairview Mall' by locals.

[edit] History
The mall opened in 1972 with the Bay and Simpson's as its department store anchors. It was the fourth fully-enclosed and the first multi-level mall in Metropolitan Toronto. The Hudson's Bay Company, parent company of the Bay, purchased Simpson's in 1978. In 1991, it sold the Simpson's store in Fairview (along with five others that were co-located with the Bay) to Sears Canada.
[edit] Public transportation
A portion of the mall's parking lot was redeveloped into a bus terminal as part of Don Mills station, the eastern terminus of the Sheppard line and the southern terminus of the Viva Green line.
Since the closing of nearby Don Mills Centre in June 2006, there has been a free shuttle bus between the two malls on weekdays.
