Toronto?s new wave of development looks for community, not just condos
As its skyline evolves, Canada?s largest city seeks more transit-oriented development In Toronto, which is swelling with new developments, condos, and arrivals, the Well, a massive mixed-use project, shows how the city continues to evolve.
At the moment, the Well is a 7-acre hole in the ground near a rail junction in King West, just outside Toronto?s old downtown. It?s not much to look at. But when it?s complete, this seven-building development will include 1,800 residential units, more than 400,000 square feet of retail and dining, an underground thermal cooling system, and 1 million square feet of office space, all located near a streetcar line at the city?s Union Station.
It?s a vision for a ?21st-century neighborhood,? urban designer Ken Greenberg told Toronto?s CityNews earlier this month. Richard Sommer, dean of the University of Toronto?s John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, calls the Well ?the epicenter of the Toronto phenomenon.? New development is nothing new for Toronto: Thanks to its rapid expansion over the last decade, the city?s real estate industry has reshaped neighborhoods across a sprawling metro area.
