A developer is proposing to build three rental towers with nearly 800 apartments, which the mayor says is needed attainable housing for the city.
For decades, Toronto’s skyline has been shaped by office towers. From Scotia Plaza to the TD Tower, new office developments have long been seen as a sign of economic prosperity and growth. But UTPro data now paints a different picture: the development of new office space in Toronto has plummeted.
Four 23-storey residential towers have been proposed at 10-21 Four Seasons Place, northeast of the Burnhamthorpe Road and Highway 427 interchange in Etobicoke’s Eatonville area. Designed by Arcadis for Fana Group, the towers would replace four office buildings.
The Annex had fewer residents in 2021 than 1971. The towers of Crescent Town had far more. How the uneven, illogical densification pattern of the last 50 years created today’s Toronto.
In the east of the Greater Toronto Area, nine towers are proposed beside the future Bowmanville GO station in Clarington. Designed by Cusimano Architect for Kaitlin Corporation, Main Street Bowmanville would include a mix of residential, retail, office, and a public park.
