Toronto's Sherbourne Park, a $28.7-million green space was unveiled recently by three levels of government in a flurry of development taking place east of Jarvis Street.
Shortly this area will assume its redevelopment role of a new emerging Eastern Toronto Waterfront.
- Corus Quay, a new hub for the area's media industry
- George Brown College new Health Sciences Waterfront Campus
- New Toronto Condos in a residential zone
- Playground for city residents and tourists with a planned Aquatic Centre.
Waterfront Toronto, the agency responsible for all the redevelopment will now start to see all their planning begin to come to life in the Eastern Waterfront revitalization.
Future projects are planned for more parks, sports fields and transit with new neighbourhoods for the West Don Lands and East Bayfront in the coming decade.
Further plans for the Waterfront revitalization will see projects to re-naturalize the mouth of the Don River and build more residences and businesses between the Keating and Shipping Channels to create a Lower Don Lands neighbourhood.
Stretching from Jarvis St. to Parliament St. along the Toronto Waterfront,the East Bayfront section is slated to become a mixed-use neighbourhood with residences for 6,000 people, jobs for 8,000 and parks and a promenade in the future.
