The masterplan maintains 46 percent of the site as open space, removing expansive areas of asphalt to prioritize public realm connectivity. The network of yards, plazas, and pedestrian paths is designed to seamlessly draw the existing York Beltline Trail into the interior of the property. This layout establishes an organic green edge that expands into a central 2,182 square metre public park, creating a contiguous ecological system that directly supports local biodiversity and passive recreation.

Situated less than 200 metres from the new Caledonia multi-modal interchange station, the site occupies a core position within a Protected Major Transit Station Area (PMTSA). Direct pedestrian access from the western terminus of Bowie Avenue connects residents to the Eglinton Crosstown LRT and the Barrie GO line, enabling a 12-minute commute to Union Station. By introducing unprecedented multi-modal mobility to this pocket of Toronto, this transit-oriented hub will mentally reframe how people relate to and navigate the neighbourhood.

Reflecting the site’s heritage as a manufacturing hub, the masterplan integrates 22,496 square metres of specialized employment floor area for creative production and light industry. The strategy provides modern facilities for commercial operators in the first phase, while introducing flexible grade-related workshops, showrooms, and studios along Caledonia Road. This hybrid typology ensures a functional, true mixed-use community that sustains stable employment opportunities alongside high-density housing.
