  • Fairview Park Mall: Fairview Park Mall is the largest mall in the Waterloo Region. It has 730,000 ft² of retail floor area and 120 stores. The Mall received a major $33.4 million facelift in 2007.

The Waterloo Region is “one of the brightest stars in the Canadian economic skies…..Waterloo-Guelph’s high-tech sector is growing by leaps and bounds…..The area is an attractive place to live and work, as demonstrated by the number of people who move in each year… the area has a relatively youthful population and strong net in-migration.”
