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 nineteenth report in our 2020 series, here's a sneak peek at some of the contents.

Today, our Growth To Watch For series continues on from our where Downtown North tour ended, by plunging into the University of Toronto's St George Campus, after which we head west along College Street through Little Italy all the way to Lansdowne Avenue before heading back downtown through the neighbourhoods of Dundas West, Little Portugal, Alexandra Park, Kensington Market, Chinatown, Queen West, and OCAD University. This area has a wide variety of developments to track, from the University of Toronto's ambitious expansion across its campus, to high-rise developments close to the downtown core, to mid-rise developments along the avenues, and a host of small-scale gentle density exemplifying the 'missing middle' sprinkled in between.
The area covered in this report includes some of the most ambitious architectural design statements in the pipeline for Toronto, many of which are being planned or built at the University of Toronto, with highlights including the new Integrated Learning Centre, the Centre for Civilizations, Cultures, and Cities, a new student residence on the North Field site, the Academic Wood Tower, an expansion of Woodsworth College, and the Schwartz Reisman Innovation Centre to name several.
While buildings in the area covered fall below the heights of the neighbourhoods to the east and south, some significant vertical growth has been happening in recent years, with even more planned. The tallest buildings under construction in the area covered are Theory Condos and Artists' Alley, while many more projects are planned to rise high. These include 300 Bloor West, 316 Bloor West, the Spadina and Sussex Mixed-Use Residence, Artistry Condos, and 250 Dundas West.
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 20th report will move into the Toronto's Downtown Core area.
