Our annual Growth To Watch For series is back for another year, bigger, taller, and more comprehensive than ever. The reports this year are presented by NEEZO Studios. Over the course of the year, we will bring you to every significant development happening across the 416 and beyond into the Greater Toronto Area. We're covering everything from brand new proposals, to those inching their way through the planning process, to those under construction or about to be completed.
A total of 21 reports from Toronto and additional reports from the surrounding 905 will be available to subscribers throughout the year. (Details of how to get the reports can be found at the bottom of this article.) For a taste of what's offered in the seventeenth report in our 2020 series, here's a sneak peek at some of the contents.

In this instalment of our Growth To Watch For series, we pick up from where we left off last time on our Corktown-Regent Park-Cabbagetown tour, and tour through the area just to the west, exploring the Jarvis and Church Street corridors in Downtown Toronto. Though this area is relatively small compared to most instalments in our series, these two north-south corridors are some of the most active in the city representing over 40 different developments, the majority of which are high-rise towers. Our route will take us south along Jarvis to The Esplanade, before heading back north up Church Street, ending just shy of Bloor, but there will also be a couple of detours along the way! We have compiled below a list of all developments currently under construction, those currently in various stages of the planning approvals process, and those that are just ideas in the making.
Along these corridors of density, one pocket within the Garden District neighbourhood has seen an explosion of height over the past few years. Centred around the Jarvis Street between Shuter and Carlton streets, a series of recent towers are to be joined by ongoing and future additions like Garden District Condos, Jac Condos, 280 Jarvis, PRIME Condos, 295 Jarvis, the Ryerson Science Building and Student Residence, in.DE Dundas East & Jarvis Condominiums, 218 Dundas East, a redevelopment of the former Grand Hotel, and Hyatt Place / The 203 Residences on Jarvis.
The largest development underway in this part of the city, the 88 Queen East superblock has already seen the recent completion of the 27-storey 88 North condo tower, while the early stages of construction are now progressing for two more additional residential towers to the south. The redevelopment of this massive former parking lot stands alone in this report, as no other multi-tower projects are in the works in the area covered.
Some big names in the architecture world are making contributions to the area covered in this report, where readers can learn about the next wave of landmark design underway and planned for the coming years. One notable example, designed by London, UK-based architects Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, is the St. Lawrence Market North Building its lowest levels now being formed north of Front Street across from the main market building. Meanwhile, Danish star Henning Larsen Architects is working on the proposed 44-storey Science Building & Student Residence for Ryerson University, mentioned in the Garden District cluster above.
There's much, much more in the report!
New Growth to Watch For 2020 reports are being released on an ongoing basis, each covering a different section of the Greater Toronto Area. The series' upcoming 17th report will move into the Jarvis and Church street corridors, as well as surrounding areas.
