The former Six Points Plaza is remembered by many today for the iconic Westwood Theatre that showed top movies for almost 50 years and saw many glory days.
FOUR CITY BLOCKS are being planned for redevelopment in the Bloor, Kipling and Dundas area.
Six Points intersection where Kipling Avenue meets both Bloor and Dundas Street W.
The famed movie house, where a number of movies were filmed, shut its doors in 1998 and sat vacant until 2013. It is now the site of a new development hub that will feature an upcoming Etobicoke Civic Hall, public library branch, gym and health centre.
Many residents have great memories watching movies at the olden and comfortable theatre back in the day with family and friends. It was a more laid back time.

An application is now underway for a zoning by-law amendment from the City of Toronto to permit the redevelopment of the Six Points Plaza to include four mixed-use blocks of land for high-density and medium-density buildings and parkland.
The park will be located on the south side of Bloor Street West, between Jopling Avenue South and Beamish Drive, and north of Dundas Street West.
Liberty Development has proposed seven towers ranging from 10 to 45 storeys, of mostly residential space on the 13.8 acres (5.6 hectare) site.
Block 1 is east of Jopling and when completed will consist of a 45–storey and 42-storey condo towers that would provide 918 residential units, of which 572 would be one-bedrooms, 175 would be two-bedrooms and 127 three-bedrooms.
Block 2 consists of a 30–storey residential tower and 10-storey building with 451 residential units, 287 one-bedrooms and 93 two-bedrooms.
Block 3 is south of Bloor Street and consists of a 10-storey mixed use building and 25-storey tower that would provide 333 units. Block 4 consists of a 35-storey residential building with 428 units.
Some 914 parking spaces are proposed for the redevelopment of which 645 are for residents, 53 for non-residential uses and 216 for visitors. Also planned are 1,652 bicycle parking spaces.
The site is about 300 metres from Kipling subway and GO stations, including the Kipling Metrolinx Transit Hub, from where trains and buses across the Greater Toronto Area can be accessed.
The application is going through the hearings process.
