GRAND CENTRAL MIMICO™ - TORONTO'S NEW TRANSIT TAILORED COMMUNITY GRAND CENTRAL MIMICO™ WILL TRANSFORM THE NEIGHBOURHOOD WITH HIGH DESIGN CONDOMINIUMS, NEW PUBLIC PARKS, CHARMING PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS AND DIRECT ACCESS TO CONVENIENT TRANSIT
FROM HISTORIC TRAIN STATION TO TRANSIT FRIENDLY COMMUNITY
It was the building of the first railway in Ontario in the 1850’s between Hamilton and Toronto that put Mimico on the map. The Grand Trunk Railway pulled into the Old Mimico Station on Royal York Road where passengers departed their coach for a daytrip at the lake or a return trip home.
Today, Vandyk Properties will usher in a renewed vitality for Old Mimico by reimagining the existing Mimico train station and its surrounding lands into a visionary master-planned redevelopment that will celebrate 21st century rail connectivity and the best of modern urban living.
Mimico circa 1928
