The long-term effects of COVID-19 on the Greater Toronto Area development industry are just now beginning to be felt. A booming economy largely driven by a strong regional real estate market is now contending with a nascent generation-defining hazard that threatens to leave profound impacts on society. But as the economic centre of the country, Toronto's outlook remains bright. A comforting sight to many, construction continues on new housing and commercial developments, responding to the pent-up demand for homes and office spaces. In these uncertain times, UrbanToronto continues to offer a dynamic range of services that helps you leverage our large and informed audience to reach your market.

UrbanToronto's Growth to Watch For coverage

Our popular Growth to Watch For series, presented by NEEZO Studios throughout 2020, has become an important source of information for those looking to stay on top of the region's dizzying pace of urban growth. The comprehensive series of in-depth reports give you the latest updates and renderings for new developments, from those just entering the planning process to those approaching completion. A total of 21 neighbourhoods are explored in Toronto, with Durham, Halton, Peel and York Region also included in our expansive scope. 

A snippet of material covered in a recent issue of New Development Insider

UrbanToronto's New Development Insider is another way of keeping abreast of development news.  Sent directly to the inbox of subscribers every weekday morning, New Development Insider unlocks the City of Toronto's planning process, wading through the complexities of municipal approvals and provincial tribunals to bring you relevant and informative updates to the high-profile developments shaping the region. Brand new development applications submitted to the City are listed and linked to pages where full supporting materials are available. Unlike the City of Toronto's Application Information Centre, UrbanToronto's New Development Insider lets you know first which applications have been updated with additional materials, including resubmissions of rezoning and Site Plan applications, and includes specific documentation like architectural plans and transportation studies. New Development Insider is designed to track every major building proposal from its initial application to its completion, with public consultations, Design Review Panel sessions, Community Council and Committee meetings, and City Council decisions all falling within the mandate of the newsletter.
