Formed in 1958, the Fairview Corporation was a real estate division of Montreal-based CEMP Investments. Fairview was instrumental in the development of several of Canada's early shopping centres. A listing would include Winnipeg's POLO PARK (1959) and Edmonton's BONNIE DOON CENTRE (1958).

In 1974, Fairview worked out a deal with the Toronto-based Cadillac Development Corporation. The two entities merged, forming the Cadillac Fairview Corporation. With the consolidation, the enterprise became Canada's largest shopping centre owner-operator (trumping Trizec). Some of the major Cadillac Fairview projects were TORONTO EATON CENTRE (1977) and Quebec's LES PROMENADE SAINT-BRUNO (1978).
