  • Introducing Toronto's Downtown East
    Introducing Toronto’s Downtown East by Linda Mitchell Young & Hunter Milborne River & Fifth - looking west from the Don Valley Introducing Toronto’s Downtown East by Linda Mitchell Young & Hunter Milborne Historically, the most important factor in real estate investing has always been location. The wrong locations can cause property values to stagnate or see very limited interest, while the best locations will always be in high demand. But today’s market is more like playing hockey. In a city where there are so many well-established neighbourhoods already – if you’re trying to score, you don’t skate to where the puck is already, you need to go where the puck is going next. Introducing Toronto’s Downtown East by Linda Mitchell Young & Hunter Milborne Corktown is a prime example of a neighbourhood that has not yet reached its full potential but is undergoing rapid infrastructure growth. The neighbourhood has been identified by real estate developer Broccolini – and should easily be identified by investors. River & Fifth sits in between Corktown and Riverside, just east of the financial core, south of Dundas, north of Queen/King. It is perfectly situated to take advantage of existing features and upcoming developments in the area, dubbed now as the emerging Downtown East. Location Map It has already been long established that proximity to downtown and to transit are the first things to look at when assessing a potential location for investment, and Corktown enjoys this strategic location. There are also several designated bike lanes and streetcar lines providing quick access to Toronto’s financial district and waterfront.

  • Waterfront Toronto Master Licence Agreement
    RA12.4 REPORT FOR ACTION Waterfront Toronto Master Licence Agreement Date: July 3, 2018 To: CreateTO Board of Directors From: Head, Legal & Corporate Secretary Wards: Ward 30 SUMMARY CreateTO has been working closely with Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation (TWRC) and City Divisions to facilitate the implementation of the Port Lands Flood Protection Project. While the Project will cause significant dislocation to Toronto Port Lands Corporation (TPLC) tenants and material loss of revenue in the short term, the long term results will be a signature new "City Building" addition to the Toronto waterfront, as well as enhanced value to the TPLC portfolio, which will now be "flood protected" for future redevelopment. TWRC will require continuing access to TPLC properties until 2024 for project construction. Rather than execute single purpose licence agreements on a property by property basis, TPLC and TWRC have agreed to enter into a master licence agreement (the "Licence") which will give TWRC access to all of the affected TPLC properties as and when required. RECOMMENDATIONS The Head, Legal and Corporate Secretary of CreateTO recommends that: (i) the CreateTO Board approve a master licence agreement (the "Licence") between the City of Toronto Economic Development Corporation ("TEDCO", acting as "TPLC") and Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation ("TWRC") pursuant to which TPLC will licence approximately 30 of its properties in the Toronto Port Lands to TWRC so as to permit TWRC to undertake the Port Lands Flood Protection and Enabling Infrastructure Project ("Project"); and (ii) the CreateTO Board authorize CreateTO management to enter into the Licence on behalf of TPLC, and to take such steps and enter into such additional documents as Waterfront Toronto Master Licence Page 1 of 5 are necessary to protect the interests of TPLC and to facilitate the completion of the Project by TWRC.
