Highlights from Dream and Great Gulf Group’s winning Quayside proposal include:

— A landmark cultural destination and multi-use arts venue in downtown Toronto that brings together space for the performing arts, Indigenous-centered cultural celebrations, and flexible education spaces.

— New public spaces and parks for all. Including a two-acre (0.8 hectare) urban ‘community forest’ that will provide a network of car-free green spaces for residents and visitors and add social, commercial, and biodiverse amenities to the city,

— An public network designed to be barrier-free and accessible for all ages and abilities.

— A significant 1.2-acre (0.5 hectare) urban farm atop one of Canada’s largest residential mass timber buildings.

— 800+ affordable housing units, more than doubling the affordable housing Waterfront Toronto has brought to the waterfront, with many delivered in the earliest stages to address an urgent need.

— Exemplary low-carbon development and innovations, making Quayside the first all-electric, zero-carbon community at this scale.

Below is the video that our team submitted as part of our proposal, introducing our approach and vision for Quayside.
