An important gateway from the Greater Toronto Area into the city, the surrounding Humber Bay Shores community has undergone significant changes in recent years. What was once a largely low-rise strip of motels and industrial buildings is now largely residential, with tall buildings often reaching 60 storeys. A community of residents has taken root, yet the area lacks a commercial and civic heart. In response, the client sought and obtained approval to rezone this 11.5 hectare site into a Regeneration Area which allows for a shift from former industrial uses to a vibrant complete community.
