A new purpose-built rental community is arriving at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Dufferin Street, as Hazelview launches Station House, a multi-building residential project forming part of the Bloor Crossing masterplanned community in Toronto’s West End. Comprising more than 1,000 rental homes across three buildings, the project is steps from Dufferin subway station.
The Bloor Crossing redevelopment reimagines the block as a pedestrian-oriented neighbourhood. Along with Assembly Lane, a landscaped, retail-lined pedestrian route linking Bloor Street West south to Croatia Street, the plan introduces a new 3,580m² City-owned park on the neighbourhood road, while placemaking is reinforced by the adaptive reuse of the former Kent School as a City of Toronto community hub and daycare, while preserving the heritage facade of the former Bloor Collegiate Institute.
Positioned directly on Bloor Street West, Station House places residents within one of Toronto’s most connected urban corridors, with immediate access to rapid transit, surface routes, and walkable neighbourhood amenities. The site is steps from Dufferin station on Bloor Line 2, and frequent bus service along Dufferin Street connects north and south through the West End. The project’s slogan is “All Ways Bloor,” where transit, walking, and cycling converge to offer mobility and citywide reach.
Surrounding Station House is the well-established West End setting of Bloordale Village and Dufferin Grove, offering independent shops, cafés, and galleries. Parks, playgrounds, and cultural venues also sit within easy reach. The location appeals to renters who want to live on Bloor Street without being in the downtown core, combining access to the city with the scale and character of a West End neighbourhood. Hazelview’s focus is on renters who choose urban living for its texture and proximity, whether creative professionals, young families, or remote workers, seeking connection to local culture and daily convenience.
Station House’s two phases, Station I and Station II, are designed by Turner Fleischer, with each contributing to a unified rental community. Station I is a 12-storey mid-rise on Bloor Street West, with pre-leasing planned for Spring 2026, located at the west end of the site. It will introduce 284 rental suites. Interiors include a double-height lobby lounge defined by exposed wood beams, large windows, and a fireplace-centred seating area. Amenities include multiple party rooms, an event kitchen, indoor and outdoor social spaces, a fitness centre, yoga studio, outdoor pool, children’s play area, and pet-focused facilities such as a dog run and pet spa. Ground-floor retail will front Bloor Street.
Rising to the south, Station II introduces a more vertical expression. With 856 rental suites, the towers of 34 and 38 storeys offer a wide range of amenities, with occupancy scheduled to begin in Summer 2026. A dedicated amenity floor connects interior facilities to an outdoor terrace, featuring a Nordic spa, cold plunge pool, hot tub, sauna, and hydrotherapy shower, as well as fully equipped fitness and movement studios. Additional shared spaces, including co-working facilities, lounges, entertainment rooms, and bookable dining areas, support work-from-home routines and hosting.
Across both phases, Station House offers studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts, accommodating renting singles, couples, and growing families. Hazelview's intended appeal is the flexibility of purpose-built rental housing that allows residents to prioritize location, design, and community over long-term ownership commitments. Interiors emphasize contemporary finishes, efficient layouts, and modern technology, pairing design-forward spaces with the flexibility of purpose-built rental living.
Underlying the project is Hazelview’s long-term ownership approach. The development aligns new density with public realm investment, heritage retention, and pedestrian-oriented design. Station House aims to contribute to neighbourhood revitalization while addressing housing demand through a stable rental offering, with purpose-built rental housing, parks, and more.
