The redevelopment of the 10-acre site at the corner of Bloor and Dundas Streets seeks to bring strategic commercial and residential density to Toronto’s west-end neighbourhood. Situated near Dundas West Subway station, the development will integrate a significant new transit hub, West Toronto Station, that will foster connections with Go Trains, the UP Express, and major streetcar routes. Earmarked as the terminus of the downtown relief line, the site presents the unique opportunity to create a neighbourhood that is connected and accessible from anywhere in the city. The proposed development will add three new streets – two running east-west and one north-south through the site. A pedestrian promenade lined with retail will bring people in to the heart of the development from the south-east corner of Bloor and Dundas, creating a lively and animated streetscape.
The mixed-use development will be sixty percent residential units and amenities and forty percent commercial space, contributing to a lively mix of work and play. Nine residential towers, containing a mix of condos and purpose-built rental units, are located on the northern and western edges of the site along Bloor and Dundas Streets.
