【4K】Toronto’s 50-Year-Old Dead Mall 🛑 | Cumberland Terrace

Join me for what may be one of the final looks inside Cumberland Terrace, Toronto’s quietly fading mall nestled in the heart of the Yorkville neighborhood. Once a bustling destination in the 1970s and 1980s, this now near-empty shopping center stands as a haunting reminder of a bygone retail era.

In the mall's final days, I captured this walking tour through Cumberland Terrace, a mall that once housed over 60 storefronts—high-end clothing stores, local eateries, salons, flower shops, and more. Today, most shops are shuttered, corridors are dim, and '70s architecture lingers beneath the quiet.

Scheduled for demolition to make way for a major redevelopment project, this is one of the final chances to see Cumberland Terrace in its raw, almost ghostly state. We’ll walk past boarded-up stores, silent escalators, and the last few remaining tenants.

From its role as one of Toronto’s first indoor stroll malls to its now deserted state, Cumberland Terrace has witnessed five decades of city evolution. Whether you’re into urban exploration, mall nostalgia, or documenting Toronto history, this farewell tour captures the fading soul of a once-loved downtown landmark.
