Toronto's Best Kept Secret - Downtown Lower East Side Developments!!!

Toronto's best kept secret - Downtown Lower East Side!

For the last decade, east downtown has undergone some significant changes spreading east of Yonge St. The pocket between Parliament and the Don Valley is still a relatively undiscovered district by the public compared to the west end. The Historic Distillery with all it's gastronomic offerings and high-end retailers, theatre and art galleries, has become an important hub for Toronto arts, culture and entertainment scene. In preparation of the 2015 Pan Am Games, the revitalization of the West Donlands is well underway. The Toronto Waterfront, where the city meets the water is also in the works. Consisting of 800 hectares of mixed-used buildings on currently underutilized land, a $1.5 billion revitalization project, creating 40,000 jobs, will be one of the largest revitalization initiatives in the world.

As a big fan and a resident of Downtown East, I observe the tidal wave of positive changes. Several communities are under construction and being planned. All of these communities are within walking distance of downtown, accessible to the Distillery District, St Lawrence Market, Corktown District and the waterfront. The master plan targets to meet high quality sustainable standards and making affordable housing, dedicated parks and green space part of the integrated neighbourhood.
