East Bayfront

For years, Toronto’s Queen Elizabeth Docks were remnants of Toronto’s industrial past, covered in parking lots and former warehouse buildings that once served the marine-transport industry. Now, after decades of planning, an exciting transformation is underway and a new mixed-used neighbourhood is starting to emerge right at the water’s edge.

Join us on a tour as we explore East Bayfront, a new neighbourhood currently under construction where design and innovation are leading the way! At the centre of this tour are some of the city’s most forward-looking buildings and spaces: from parks and sculptures that double up as stormwater treatment plants to a new generation of tall buildings made entirely out of wood. Along the way we’ll discuss the difficult task of masterplanning a neighbourhood, how the early guidelines are now taking shape in the built environment, and the different strategies being employed to ensure East Bayfront’s success in our ever-changing city. If you’re looking to understand the future of city-building in Toronto, this is a tour you can’t miss!
