Merchants’ Wharf – which topped the list during our ‘Help Name a Waterfront Street’ contest – is the new name for Bayside’s main street. It connects to Queens Quay Boulevard and runs along the water’s edge. When the development is complete, Merchants’ Wharf will provide access to Lake Ontario as well as homes, shops, restaurants and offices in the area.

New affordable rental homes will be built as part of Bayside Toronto.
