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 May 1974, Fairview merged with Toronto's Cadillac Development Corporation, forming the Cadillac Fairview Corporation. With the consolidation, the enterprise became Canada's largest shopping centre owner-operator (trumping Trizec). Major Cadillac Fairview projects were THE EATON CENTRE-TORONTO EATON CENTRE (1977) and Quebec's LES PROMENADE SAINT-BRUNO (1978).
