In the late 1960s, London housing developer Sifton Properties began planning for a massive residential community in the southwest area of the city. The subdivision named Westmount was to be the largest planned community in London with over 30,000 residents. It would combine high-density residential apartments with low-density houses and townhomes. Also, recreational facilities including an outdoor pool and parks would be built.

The centerpiece of the community would be a commercial shopping mall. Westmount Shopping Centre's first phase opened originally in 1971 with 15 stores including a Dominion and Shoppers Drug Mart.
