3D model of future development in midtown toronto

New Neighbours

Development in Midtown has grown taller since the province of Ontario eliminated Toronto city council’s height limits in 2019. In the years since, developers have proposed 700 more storeys than would have been allowed previously. With Toronto's growing population, demand for housing, and a limited amount of land zoned for higher density, development has been forced upwards.

The majority of high-rises in Midtown are concentrated along three corridors bordering Yonge Street at Eglinton, Davisville, and St Clair, each with their own stations along the Yonge Street Line 1 Subway.

Yonge and Eglinton

The most prominent development node in Midtown is at Yonge and Eglinton. As one of four Centres identified in the City of Toronto’s Official Plan, the area has seen a significant amount of development activity over the last decade — notably alongside the construction of the Line 5 Eglinton Crosstown LRT. Density along this corridor has also progressed east toward Mount Pleasant Road and north to Erskine Avenue.
