Follow the Line

We always get asked the question, which Toronto neighborhoods are "up and coming" and best poised for appreciation?

One way to assess this for yourself is to observe where the development is happening -- especially the investment in transit infrastructure -- and you can bet that growing communities and real estate values are sure to follow.

At the moment we're really bullish on The Ontario Line, the Smart Track Go station in East Harbour and the development of the East Harbour site. All of these are transformative developments that we think, are worth betting on.

The Ontario line is a 15.6-kilometre, 15-stop subway line that will run from Exhibition Place, through the heart of downtown, to the south end of Riverdale, and all the way up to the Ontario Science Centre.

Based on current plans for the project the Ontario Line will give over 227,000 people access to transit within walking distance.

The highly anticipated East Harbour Go Station will be a transit hub, providing seamless connectivity to more GO services, and notably offering a convenient single train connection to Pickering, Whitby, and Oshawa as well as destinations such as Mississauga, Oakville and Hamilton.

East Harbour, is the largest commercial project currently being planned in Canada. Once complete, this 12-million square foot, unique mix of office, retail, and institutional developments is slated to employ approximately 50,000 workers.

If you're an investor or buyer trying to get a foothold in the market, follow the line.
