The Warden station bus terminal redevelopment has moved firmly into its build phase since UrbanToronto’s April, 2025 update, when demolition of the previous silo-style terminal dominated the site. Designed by Strasman Architects with WSP for the Toronto Transit Commission, the future island-style bus terminal and concourse serve as the first phase of a transit-oriented development reworking of the site, including a mixed-income development that is part of the City's Housing Now program.
A drone view looking east in October, 2025 captures the full site at the southeast corner of Warden Avenue and St Clair Avenue East. The new steel frame rises beside the existing, elevated subway station building. To the south, the temporary bus loop remains active. This perspective illustrates how the new footprint, smaller than the demolished terminal, will open up land for redevelopment close to the Warden and St Clair intersection.
Looking southeast shows the new terminal’s steel structure assembled to its two-storey height, with a taller central bay forming a future elevated walkway with green roof section above. Along the north edge, crews have organized staging zones with formwork panels.
Inside the concourse this month, hoarding has been removed. Temporary fencing defines active work areas and protects staged equipment, tools, and finishing materials. Overhead, we see exposed mechanical and electrical rough-ins. A new elevator shaft below the subway platform is enclosed, and the cab appears installed and energized.
Peering from within the Warden Avenue passenger pick-up entrance, the interior features terrazzo flooring and installed automatic sliding doors beneath a fully glazed transom. High-gloss panels line the corridor, and temporary cords and protective coverings remain on the floor as crews continue their work. Beyond the doors, orange safety fencing indicates ongoing hardscape and utility installation north of the bus loop.
A panoramic view looking west highlights the extent of active work zone. Mid-frame, a series of concrete foundations extends north toward St Clair Avenue, with formwork, rebar cages, and orange tarp in place as crews advance substructure work. Along the roadway at right, fencing lines the edge of the reconstructed approach to the St Clair overpass, where a blue articulated boom lift is positioned.
Looking northeast, the new bus terminal’s growing steel frame dominates the view. The taller central bay is configured for a connecting pedestrian path from the buses to the subway. To the right, the passenger entrance has advanced into its exterior finishing stage, with white cladding panels and newly installed glazing wrapping the facade, while sections of plywood indicate areas still awaiting finishes.
Construction is advancing toward an expected completion by late 2027, with bus operations continuing south of the station throughout the build.
