North York Development since the subway.

The article notes that in the last 9 years 20,264 units have been approved and of those 16,000 have been built or are under construction in NYCC, also 312,748 sq.m. of non-res GFA has been added to North York.
The Sheppard Corridor (not including NYCC) has 11,000 new units approved to date since construction began on the new line in 1998. The article noted that ridership has grown steadly since opening in November 2002 from an average weekday ridership of 34,700 in 2003 to 43,000 in 2006. Apparently Sheppard recently passed the Scarborough RT ridership. The TTC is hoping to achieve their target of 48,000 riders in the next couple of years.
Don Mills has an average of 28,000 weekly riders and the low-point is Bessarion with only 2,100. Back in NYCC, North York Centre has 25,700 and Sheppard/Yonge has 69,000. The TTC apparently has high hopes for Bessarion with Concord Adex planning 5,000 units in the immediate area. Concord is expected to submit a an application for site plan approval of the first two buildings that will combine for a total of about 1,000 units.
Some large pending applications:
