  • Sugar Wharf Is a Community of Extraordinary Proportions
    A WHOLE NEW COMMUNITY From Humber Bay to the Eastern Beaches, Toronto’s magnificent waterfront spans 46 kms. 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. THE LAKE. THE LIFE. THE CITY. LAKE SHORE BLVD E NEW ST COOPER ST Rising on the shores of Toronto’s waterfront, Sugar Wharf is a community of extraordinary proportions. FREELAND ST Striking the perfect work-life balance, this exceptional development will be the future-forward ideal today’s urban population seeks.

  • 2017 Global Awards of Excellence
    For Immediate Release TORONTO’S WEST DON LANDS MASTER-PLAN COMMUNITY WINS 2017-2018 ULI GLOBAL AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE TORONTO (Nov. 15, 2017) – A major Toronto redevelopment project has been recognized on the international stage, alongside projects from the United States, Japan, Spain and Singapore, for achieving a high standard of excellence in the development industry. West Don Lands, an industrial area currently being redeveloped as a mixed-use neighbourhood in Toronto's downtown east end, was named one of thirteen winners in the Urban Land Institute’s 2017- 2018 ULI Global Awards for Excellence. It was selected by an international jury made up of ULI members from a wide range of professional backgrounds who are recognized as leaders in their fields. According to ULI, while architecture and design are key components for all developments that have been recognized, winners are selected based on a broader set of criteria encompassing the “full development process of a project.” “The West Don Lands is Toronto urbanism at its best,” says ULI Toronto Executive Director Richard Joy. “Its evolution is a global showcase of city building that confirms our city’s reputation as a place that’s for and about the people it serves.” Hailed by local media for “changing the face of Toronto,” the West Don Lands is a huge revitalization effort led by Waterfront Toronto that has spanned two decades. The 80-acre site features robust and inventive public spaces, including Corktown Common and Underpass Park. Condominium residences developed by Dream Unlimited and Kilmer Group served as the Athletes’ Village when Toronto hosted the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games.
