Eleven development proposals across Toronto secured Council-endorsed settlements in July, 2025, clearing the way for over 8,700 new residential units. Spanning Scarborough, Midtown, the West End, and North York, with two precinct-scale settlements, the approvals include a mix of rental and condominium projects, many with revised heights, densities, or public realm improvements.

Here's a look at what was approved:

Etobicoke

464 Royal York Road
Wycliffe Homes received settlement approval for a revised 12-storey proposal at 464 Royal York Road just north of Evans Avenue, maintaining the previously proposed 41.34m height, with no changes to massing. With a design by Vincent J. Santamaura Architect, the Mimico-area building would deliver 112 market-rate rental apartments, decreased by one from 113.

3019 Dufferin Street
A revised proposal for 3019 Dufferin Street a block south of Lawrence Avenue, seeks to replace a previously approved 7-storey, 105-unit design with a 29-storey mixed-use condominium tower containing 332 residential units. Designed by Architecture Unfolded and having undergone a change in ownership, the 91m-tall project in Glen Park remains under appeal, with City Council directing staff to oppose the proposal at the Ontario Land Tribunal due to concerns over appropriate built form, height, setbacks, and transition for the area.

Downsview Secondary Plan
City Council adopted a settlement approach to address four site-specific appeals affecting the Wilson South area of the Downsview Secondary Plan, following its approval in May, 2024 and partial enactment in August, 2024. The remainder of the Secondary Plan, covering the vast majority of the Downsview lands, remains in full force and effect as Toronto prepares for one of its largest long-term redevelopment efforts.

Scarborough

670 Progress Avenue
Fieldgate Urban reached a settlement for its proposal at 670 Progress Avenue on its northeast corner with Consilium Place, with the settlement technical in nature following adoption of the same plan in 2024; compared to the plan previously rejected by Council in 2023, it increased the total unit count from 3,105 to 3,203 across seven towers ranging from 18 to 54 storeys. Featuring a design by Arcadis, the revised plan includes a phased on-site parkland dedication totalling 2,640m², and secures public realm improvements and potential in-kind community benefits as part of the multi-use transformation of the Scarborough City Centre area.
