A NEIGHBOURHOOD THAT ASPIRES TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF ITS RESIDENTS
AND VISITORS ALIKE.

Quayside is a small piece of land on Toronto’s downtown eastern waterfront with big ambitions. It will soon be home to a sustainable community that will provide a high quality of life for people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities and incomes – a 21st century urban district that is dynamic, inclusive and resilient. Quayside is the cornerstone in Waterfront Toronto’s vision for a world-class, complete community, and a key connection between the downtown waterfront, surrounding neighbourhoods and the future Villiers Island.

Dream and Great Gulf – together known as Quayside Impact – invite you to explore this website to learn more about the vision for Quayside, our project team and some early milestones, and we encourage you to come back again over the coming days and weeks for more information.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Quayside Impact Limited Partnership acknowledges that the land upon which we are undertaking our efforts is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississauga of the Credit First Nation. In addition, Quayside Impact Limited Partnership acknowledges that Toronto has been a gathering place for many Indigenous people, including the Anishinaabe, the Haundenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is home to many First Nations, Inuit and Metis people today.

We are experiencing a historic housing and affordability crisis which is now compounded by stalled housing starts. To address the urgent need for housing, QILP, Waterfront Toronto and all levels of government have worked together to make Quayside part of the solution. This means accelerating the delivery of new market and affordable purpose-built rental homes. In December the City of Toronto selected Quayside as a priority project through their new Purpose-Built Rental Incentives stream. This facilitates the delivery of approximately 1,250 purpose-built rental homes in place of market condominiums. We are also working to deliver more affordable rental housing faster, including approximately 550 affordable rental units in the first phase of development, increasing the supply of affordable rental units in the first phase by 100.
