EllisDon Developments reveals plans for Arcadia District project
EllisDon Developments has announced plans for a four-tower, mixed-use community in Etobicoke.
The Arcadia District project will be located at 56-60 Fieldway Road, near Bloor Street and Kipling Avenue, and will span nearly 15,000 square metres.
The area has been designated as one of Ontario's Urban Growth Centres due to its ability to accommodate and support major transit infrastructure, attract major mixed-use development, and accommodate a significant share of population and employment growth. It is also located around the corner from the Kipling Transit Hub.
Arcadia District's four towers will range from 12 to 42 storeys, and feature more than 1,300 suites, 62,000 square feet of shared amenity space, 14,000 square feet of retail space, and a new 26,000-square foot park on the east end of the site.
EllisDon Developments and the City of Toronto are also currently working together to add a new TTC bus stop on Fieldway Rd. outside of Arcadia District.
Etobicoke has already been a significant development focus for the city of Toronto. In 2021, the city celebrated the completion of the "Six Points Interchange" construction where the Dundas, Bloor and Kipling corridor was reconfigured as a walkable, livable, workable centre.
As part of this development focus, the City of Toronto will build the Etobicoke Civic Centre at 3755 Bloor St. West. The project includes a wide range of public facilities including a new Civic Square that extends the park network in the Etobicoke Centre area, municipal services that would be pedestrian friendly and transit-oriented, a non-profit daycare, a new public library, and a new community recreation centre.
Arcadia District will be one of the first developments to launch in the area.
"We are incredibly proud to introduce Arcadia District, one of the first major projects at the heart of a community set to be transformed," said Chris Smith, Vice President, EllisDon Developments. "The idea behind Arcadia District was to plan a community that had all the amenities and services people want close to home. Between our four towers, we will build a diverse range of exceptional amenities and retail space, which we believe to be unparalleled to other developments in the market."
Design of the buildings is being performed by BDP Quadrangle, while interior design is being conducted by Figure 3.
