Planning for a new mall (1969-1973) Construction of the mall was announced on February 27, 1969, by
Steinberg's and
Eaton's. The consortium announced that a 150-store mall would be built on a property next to the
Laurentian Autoroute, subject to the construction of the necessary infrastructure by the newly formed city of
Laval. Construction was intended to start in 1971 but the project had been delayed after a zoning bylaw proposed by mayor
Jacques Tétreault, that would effectively have given the Carrefour Laval consortium a monopoly over the development of the proposed downtown core of Laval, was challenged by the opposition and by members of his own party who founded his idea to be discriminatory and too restrictive towards other businesses. Carrefour Laval finally broke ground the following year and undertaken by
Fairview Corporation which had previously developed the shopping malls
Fairview Pointe-Claire and
Galeries d'Anjou.
