Move over Yorkdale Mall. Toronto’s East Harbour is now home to the largest commercial project planned in Canada. New developments like this have the ability to transform several neighbourhoods and change the dynamic of a city. For Toronto condo investors, this exciting development should be followed closely.

The Project:

  • 10-million square feet+ (60 acres) of commercial space.
  • A mix of retail sites, public spaces, entertainment, parks and restaurants.
  • Will employ an estimated 50,000 people.
  • The project entitled “East Harbour” is a project of First Gulf.
  • The project breaks ground in 2018 with the first phase set to be completed in 2023.

There has been a lot of development in the past few years east of the downtown core. In a previous article, we highlighted the city’s $1.25 million dollar commitment to revitalizing the Toronto Portlands. Added to that are a great deal of new Toronto condo projects that are poised to take advantage of the rejuvenation of this part of town.

Here’s How Toronto Condo’s In The Area Will Benefit

Needless to say, demand for condos in Leslieville, Riverside, Corktown, and around the East Harbour are only to heavily increase in demand. First and foremost an increase in property values should be expected to climb well past the completion of first wave of development in 2023.

Better Neighbourhood Amenities

This project will help transform the areas that neighbour the Don Valley Parkway. Current projects In Toronto’s East usually boast their quick access to the downtown. Those selling features will soon be directing to this new giant development. With the number of amenities this development is set to bring, residents will have access to just about everything they need.

 

The is area will be transformed into both a walkable and cycle-friendly neighbourhood that connects to the Don Valley and Martin Goodman Trails.

Better Public Transit Infrastructuredowntown relief line

Many are concerned about this project’s location and lack of current public transit. A project of this magnitude will increase the need for more public transit infrastructure.

As we touched on in the past, this location would benefit greatly from the inclusion of the city’s proposed Downtown Relief Line (a subway connection that would run along Queen Street East along the water and North through the Danforth Line). In fact, this development is centred right in the middle of it. One should expect there to be a bigger investment in the cities LRT, Go Transit, bike lanes and buses connecting to this stop.

Vice President of First Gulf Development, Derek Goring, told the Toronto Star, that building the new transit hub is “the first, second, and third most important thing to this development.”
