context_page_description: Pacific Mall is an Asian shopping mall in Markham, Ontario, Canada. It is the largest indoor Asian shopping mall in North America, and has been reported as the largest Asian shopping mall in the Western world. The mall is located on the northeast corner of Steeles Avenue and Kennedy Road, along the city limits with Toronto. Opened in the mid-1990s amid a period of significant Chinese immigration to Canada, the mall operates as a condominium corporation with 450 individual units. The mall also includes Heritage Town, a food court and market that functions as a notable tourist destination in the Greater Toronto Area.
  An addition to Pacific Mall that would occupy the site formerly held by Market Village, a now-defunct mall adjacent to Pacific Mall, was announced in 2005. The expansion would see the construction of a structure that would bring the combined size of the malls to 1,000,000 square feet, though the project has faced numerous delays.
