A transformation is underway along Toronto’s downtown waterfront. In the last 15 years, parking lots and derelict buildings have given way to new accessible, beautiful and inclusive neighbourhoods. By leading with architecturally distinctive and culturally meaningful design and innovative approaches to green building, we will take our place as a top waterfront city.

Our city-building efforts will lead the way for a vibrant community on Villiers Island.
