Hey guys, some renderings for the Northcrest 1st district (engulfing the studio campus + beyond) is on the townhall:
https://northcresttogether.ca/projects/district-1

I tried taking screenshots but the quality is really low sorry!


In addition, you can complete the survey here (open until April 14th): https://www.tfaforms.com/4969807

3,000 units in what should be the lowest density part of the entire plan.. how many units in total will these lands end up accommodating!?
 
What's to happen to the hangers at Downsview lands?

It would be nice to see them be repurposed into some kind of indoor entertainment facility.

Toronto could really benefit with some kind of indoor amusement park like Galaxyland/Nickelodean Universe. We need more attractions that can be done in the winter months.

There was actually a call for proposals in Dec for development/destination retail in the hangars. I got an email from Northcrest.

The new Bombardier facility (for its Global business jets) to replace the one at Downsview is being built at Pearson.

I'm hoping there can be some kind of final public event (like the private one de Havilland had last year) before the airfield is permanently shut down in a few months.

I guess you'll just have to upgrade to one of the GLEXs that will be built at YYZ later this year or early next!

I highly recommend everyone explore that link a bit, so I won't post all the renderings, but here are some teasers

This whole thing has quietly become one of the most exciting developments in the city, just seems like great vision so far all around.

Well said. What's interesting is the long term effects of pedestrian/cycling prioritization and how it will radically change Toronto planning in the suburbs.
