With $5.3 billion in capital investment and 19km of new rapid transit intersecting with Toronto’s main north-south subway artery, Yonge and Eglinton is emerging as one of the most connected and important mobility hubs in the country. As Midtown continues to grow and expand, construction is always underway, with buildings always on the rise. With so much going on in the area, First Class Drones recently flew over Broadway Avenue just north of Eglinton Avenue for us, to share a unique perspective of the area with UrbanToronto readers.
To accompany the neighbourhood 'fly through,' we have compiled some of the projects that you might be able to identify that are either recent builds, nearing completion, or are newly underway in the area.
Times Group Corporation is building two 39-storey, 389-unit Wallman Architects-designed condominium towers reaching heights of 133 metres.
The 38-storey infill rental tower is replacing the western half of a 10-storey apartment building. Designed by WZMH Architects for Hazelview Investments, the project will add a total of 316 residential rental apartments to the Midtown community.
The Parker is a 39-storey rental tower by Fitzrovia at Broadway and Redpath Avenues. Designed by Graziani + Corazza Architects, the tower is nearly completed, with its 349 rental units becoming occupied by residents while final touches are made.
Being developed conjointly by Reserve Properties and Westdale Properties, Line 5 will consist of two 33 and 36-storey towers which will house condo, institutional, and retail spaces, totalling 504 and 428 units. Designed by IBI Group, the development was designed with the Eglinton Crosstown LRT in mind, hence its name.
The 36-storey mixed-use rental buildings designed by IBI Group for Reserve Properties and Westdale Properties will house office, rental, and retail spaces within a total of 412 units. This project is part of the same development as Untitled Toronto...
...which includes 21 and 33-storey condo and office towers housing 751 units at 110 Broadway Avenue, designed by IBI Group with input from Pharrell Williams!
Designed by TACT Architecture for Capital Developments and Metropia, the 46-storey condominium building is nearing completion, with 440 units coming here.
The 38-storey BDP Quadrangle-designed rental tower for KG Group is well under construction. Covered by us recently, the development is unique because it is being added onto the side of, and then being built above an existing 19-storey rental building at 101 Roehampton.
A 35-storey tower containing retail, office, and condominium uses is coming to 2161 Yonge Street, at the northeast corner with Soudan. Designed by Graziani + Corazza Architects for Tribute Communities and Tenblock, the project will rise to a height of 121.3 metres and contain 304 condominium units with retail at its base.
Designed by BDP Quadrangle for Plaza, the two-tower condo and rental development will rise 34 and 27 storeys, and house a total of 545 residential units.
The single 21-storey tower is currently rising from a three-storey base. The project is designed by NEUF architect(e)s and CMV Group architects for The Benvenuto Group, and includes 180 rental units.
