7 Most Exciting Proposals in Toronto
Toronto is growing through a major growth spurt and there are some incredible new proposals (condominium and otherwise) being put together that will continue to put Toronto on the map.
The proposals listed below are all large in scope and show the direction that Toronto is headed as we work towards becoming a “World Class City”.
The list below are 7 proposals that we are extremely excited about.
1. Holt Renfrew Tower
The proposal for an 83 Storey mixed use tower above Holt Renfrew on Bloor Street has created a lot of early buzz given the location and the scope.
2. 1-7 Yonge Street (Toronto Star Redevelopment)
Renderings released earlier this week show 5 brand new towers ranging in height from 70-88 storeys and a reworking of the Toronto Star building. This could be the new gateway to Toronto.
3. Mirvish+Gehry Proposal on King West
Three proposed high design towers that will be the backdrop to the CN Tower in the Toronto Skyline. The proposal has mixed opinions as the development plans to replace the historical Prince of Wales Theatre.
4. Oxford Casino Proposal at Toronto Metro Convention Centre
The Casino debate has gone back and forth with strong opinions on either side. Casino or not, the proposal from Oxford is incredible and features two twin towers that will include a casino complex, hotel and residences.
5. Ordnance Triangle Development by Cityzen
Cityzen’s new master plan just north of Liberty Village will create a new neighbourhood that will feature 5 new residential towers (ranging 23 to 49 storeys), a brand new 4 acre park and commercial and retail space.
6. Downtown Relief Line & Subway Expansion
There is enormous need for an improved transit and subway expansion in Toronto. A number of new transit options have been proposed (the Eglinton LRT is under construction and expected to be completed in 2020) and it is understood that the “Downtown Relief Line” has become a priority.
7. East Bayfront – Toronto’s Newest Waterfront Community
The East Bayfront re-development has already begun and will become one of Toronto’s leading waterfront communities combining residences, office space, restaurants and retail space. Monde Condominiums is the first residential condominium project in the neighbourhood and Hines is expected to launch new residential condominiums later this year.
Let us know your thoughts and if there are any that we missed!
