History

Fairview Pointe-Claire was inaugurated on August 12, 1965 with anchors

Ogilvy's and Woolworth's.[7] Fairview Pointe-Claire was a single level mall at the time; only tenants Simpsons, Eaton's, W.H. Smith Books, and Pascal's had two floors. Although they initially had only two floors, Simpsons and Eaton's were both built with the capacity to each house a third level in the future.[8] Simpson's was located on the east end of the mall and had on the parking its own auto centre with an Esso.[9] Eaton's was in the west end and back then used the English name (with the letter "s") for the store signage of this location.[10]

At the time of its opening, Fairview Pointe-Claire was the first enclosed shopping mall in the West Island, the first shopping centre in Quebec with either a Simpsons or Eaton's store, as well as the second largest mall in all of Canada.[11] Simpsons purchased a replica of Michelangelo's Statue of David and installed it in the mall's hallway, a move that was met with criticism.[12]

In 1985, Fairview Pointe-Claire was extensively converted to a two-level shopping mall whose renovation was completed on August 14, almost to the day of its 20th anniversary.[13] The mall went from 88 to 201 stores and its first floor was completely renovated.[13] Among the additions was the introduction of the food court.

Simpsons was taken over by

The Bay on January 29, 1989, with no layoffs in the store.[14][15]

Pascal's declared bankruptcy in 1991.[16]

A Sears store of 164,000 square feet opened on August 12, 1992.[17] It was a new construction built on the south side of the shopping centre.[18]

Eaton's closed on October 17, 1999 after 34 years in the mall.

On July 26, 2001, Déco Découverte opened one of its first two Quebec stores in Super C's former space.[22][21]

A Best Buy opened in the fall of 2005.

Complexe Pointe-Claire
. Like Aventure Électronique (but unlike Pascal's), Best Buy can only be access from outdoor.

It was announced in September 2017 that the Sears at Fairview Pointe-Claire was targeted for closure along with nine other stores all located outside of Quebec.[24] The Pointe-Claire location closed in December 2017.[25] The first level was repurposed for dining with the food court moving into the space on April 1, 2021.[2] The second and third floors of the location were replaced a year later by Simons on May 5, 2022.[26] The old food court was subdivided for Dollarama and Linen Chest.[2]

Ownership

Sears' second location. This Sears store had three floors. Originally Eaton's, the building was partially transformed after Sears closed and is today shared between Simons, the food court and Lucille's restaurant.

Fairview Pointe-Claire was originally the joint property of Simpsons Limited and Cemp Investments, and managed by Fairview Shopping Centres Ltd (a subsidiary of Cemp Investments).[27][28] The mall was built by Cadillac Development Corporation.[29]

In 1974, Cadillac Development Corporation and Fairview Corporation merge to form Cadillac Fairview.[30] From then on, Fairview Pointe-Claire was the joint property of Cadillac Fairview and Simpsons.[31]

In 1984, Markborough Properties replaced Simpsons as co-owner of the mall.[32] Cadillac Fairview retained its share of the mall.[13]

In 1997, Markborough Properties was swallowed by

Ivanhoe Corporation to form Ivanhoé Cambridge.[33][34]

In 2021, Cadillac Fairview swapped the 50% share it held in Galeries d'Anjou for Ivanhoé Cambridge's in Fairview Pointe-Claire to become the sole owner of the mall.[35]

Public transportation

The north parking lot of Fairview Pointe-Claire is home to Fairview

bus terminus of the Société de transport de Montréal. A new light metro station Fairview–Pointe-Claire station of Réseau express métropolitain is under construction next to the mall.[36]
