Location & Neighbourhood
The Port Lands area of Toronto is set to undergo massive and exciting redevelopment in the years to come. This area is more than twice the size of Toronto’s Financial District, and its industrialized past will soon be left behind as the city’s planned East Harbour Redevelopment converts the neighbourhood into a thriving transit-supported mixed-use community.
In the spring of 2021, the Province of Ontario and Cadillac Fairview came together for a Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) partnership for the city’s East Harbour area, presenting a vibrant future. This goal-oriented plan proposes adding nine residential towers to this waterfront area, along with nine new office towers and improved transit options. The idea is to create several new, vibrant districts with unique identities throughout the region.
At present, residents have immediate access to two surface bus routes at this location. Metrolinx’s SmartTrack Stations Program will vastly improve this by bringing the East Harbour Transit Hub just 600 metres away.
