Waterfront Toronto Announces New Development on Former Sidewalk Labs Site

Waterfront Toronto selected Dream Unlimited and Great Gulf Group following a competetive process to develop Quayside, the former site that Sidewalk Labs proposed to develop prior to COVID-19. This project unites local and international talent to deliver needed affordable housing and public spaces, speeding Toronto’s recovery. The project will transform the 12-acre (4.9 hectare) site into a community for residents and visitors to live, work and play.  Among the highlights of the winning submission from Dream and Great Gulf were proposals to create:

• 800+ affordable housing units, more than doubling the affordable housing Waterfront Toronto has brought to the waterfront, with many delivered in earliest stages to address an urgent need.
• New public spaces, including a two-acre forested green space, plus a significant urban farm atop one of Canada’s largest residential mass timber buildings.
• A landmark cultural destination and multi-use arts venue that brings together space for the performing arts, Indigenous-centered cultural celebrations and flexible education spaces.
• Exemplary low-carbon development and innovations, making Quayside the first all-electric, zero-carbon community at this scale;
• Visionary world-class architecture that will raise the bar on design across the entire neighbourhood and create a visually striking focal point on Toronto’s waterfront.
