Under the direction of Waterfront Toronto, this highly desirable section of the city is undergoing a sea change. Created by the federal and provincial government and the City of Toronto, Waterfront Toronto has the mandate to transform the area into a vibrant public and cultural space for all Torontonians. Unequalled in size, it’s one of the largest urban revitalization projects in the world. The total area for development is 800 hectars in size, and is one of the largest revitalization projects in the world! Collaborating with developers like Menkes, Waterfront Toronto aims to create 40,000 new residences and approximately 40,000 new jobs. With the introduction of mixed-used neighbourhoods, offices, expanding public transit, parks, and public spaces, the waterfront will be a coveted place to live, work, learn and play. By adopting an economically and environmentally sustainable design approach, this reimagination will change the face of Toronto and deliver a positive, meaningful relationship between the lake and the city.

  • Development Planning Application for 373 Front Street East and 90 Mill
    TE19.5.9 LANA MCINNIS & JÖRG BOLLMANN 912-80 Mill Street Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5A 4T3 October 14th, 2020 TO: CITY OF TORONTO CITY CLERK C/O Toronto-East York Community Council Ellen Devlin, Secretariat 2nd floor, West Tower, City Hall 100 Queen St. W. Toronto, ON M5H 2N2 Re: Development Planning application for 373 Front Street East and 90 Mill Street Planning Application Number: 19 228307 STE 13 OZ; Oct 15th 2020 Community Council Meeting item TE19.5 Delivered by Email ([email protected]) Dear Secretariat, Toronto-East York Community Council, We have been residents of the Distillery District since 2007. We made the conscience decision to move into this area as we were inspired by the City’s vision for the neighbourhood outlined in the City-endorsed West Don Lands Block Plan 2006 (WDL Block Plan 2006) that is currently partially realized as the Pan Am Athletes’ Village. From our point of view, the proposed development at 373 Front Street East and 90 Mill Street, Planning Application Number: 19 228307 STE 13 OZ, AKA Block 3, 4, 7 of the WDL Block Plan 2006 deviates significantly in built form, set-backs, heights and density from the City-endorsed WDL Block Plan 2006 and the internationally recognized and award winning Public Realm Master Plan 2011 for the West Don Lands (West Don Lands, 2017–2018 Global Awards for Excellence Winner). These significant deviations have not only a direct negative impact on our current living quality, as our unit will be deprived of direct sunlight by the new development and exposed to increased noise levels, but also bears a high risk of long lasting negative social economic effects for the whole neighbourhood including the Distillery District and the Canary District.

  • Top Picks for Pics
    Top Picks for Pics Toronto has plenty of public art and tourist attractions that provide fun and memorable photo opportunities. Here are our top picks for Toronto pics. The Toronto Sign The Toronto Sign, originally installed as part of the Pan American Games in 2015, was such a hit with residents and visitors that it’s stayed. See it in Nathan Phillips Square in front of City Hall (in itself a photo-worthy Mid-Century architectural gem) in all its multicolour splendour during the day or lit up in various dramatic ways when night falls. Find The Toronto Sign on Google Maps. Canoe Landing Park Adjacent to the Gardiner Expressway and Rogers Centre, Douglas Coupland’s Red Canoe is a snapshot of Canadiana where you can also get a great view of the CN Tower in the background. Find Canoe Landing Park on Google Maps. CN Tower’s EdgeWalk EdgeWalk offers the best background shot and vantage point of our fair metropolis from the ledge of the CN Tower. You can’t take your own photo here but two photos and a video are included in the experience price. Find CN Tower EdgeWalk on Google Maps. Simcoe WaveDeck Inspired by the shorelines of Ontario’s Great Lakes, it replaces a narrow sidewalk with impressive curves that soar up to 2.6 metres above the lake and provides a great photo backdrop. Find Simcoe WaveDeck on Google Maps.. Dundas Square Our square is reminiscent of New York’s Times Square with myriad billboards in the background. The lights and colours showcase the excitement of our downtown core.
