Watch The Toronto Waterfront Area Grow!

Are you planning on selling your Toronto home this year? While you’re ready to move on to bigger and better things, it’s likely that your home has served you pretty well over the years.

Toronto’s new Ontario Beach is just one part of the city’s waterfront revitalization projects. Plenty of thought has gone into it: Pink umbrellas, imported Ontario-like sand and well-thought out landscaping.

However, next to Ontario Beach and marrying the picturesque landscape is a boxy, uninspired building – the Canada Entertainment headquarters, a generic green glass office building. While the design is sustainable, it doesn’t quite suit the beachy atmosphere. Locals have been quite critical of the area’s architecture and the fact that it already has the whole no swimming thing going for it, being completely fenced in from the water itself. It’s not a place where Toronto residents can beat the heat unless they want to head towards the giant fountain. Still, the area used to be a parking lot.

Ontario Beach Is The Second Urban Beach In The City.

The Queen’s Quay streetcar line still needs to be extended to get the average biped there, but if you’re on a bike you can get there relatively easily. It’s just one more element in Toronto’s growth as a waterfront destination.

Along with selecting Hines as the real estate company to develop the next great Toronto neighborhood, Waterfront Toronto has several projects on the go including the Lower Don Lands, the West Don Lands, East Bayfront, Port Lands, the Central Waterfront and the Gardiner area.

Those curious about the waterfront projects can check out the Waterfront Toronto website, which has a listing of projects that are underdevelopment, in the planning stages and recently completed.
