A Markville Shopping Centre entrance
Elevator inside the shopping centreMarkville Shopping Centre is a shopping mall located at 5000 Highway 7 East (at McCowan Road) in Markham, Ontario, Canada. Markville Mall opened in 1982. The mall is owned by Cadillac Fairview, and was named for its proximity to both the historical villages of Markham and Unionville (now both incorporated in the town of Markham). With a gross leasable area of 981,000 square feet (91,100 m2), Markville is the 28nd-largest mall in Canada and the second-largest in York Region after Vaughan Mills.[1]
The mall has been remodeled extensively in recent years, including the recent additions of standalone East Side Mario's and Swiss Chalet restaurants in front of the mall facing Highway 7. For several years the Swiss Chalet location supplemented a pre-existing location on the other side of McCowan, but the old location closed in early 2010.[citation needed] This may have been the closest proximity of two operating Swiss Chalets in all of Canada.[verification needed] Markville Mall is currently going through a extensive renovation.
