Etobicoke’s Six Points area, once dominated by a multi-flyover interchange and an expansive, windswept parking lot for a suburban cinema, now boasts eight cranes towering where Etobicoke's future core will knit the existing mini-skyline around Bloor/Dundas/Kipling with the one around Bloor/Islington/Dundas. The first two of several development blocks on this site to go under construction now count four cranes each; at the Etobicoke Civic Centre, and at 5207 Dundas West. UrbanToronto last provided an update on the Civic Centre’s ground breaking in April, 2024, and on 5207 Dundas West in August, 2024.
Designed by Henriquez Partners Architects for Tricon Residential in partnership with Kilmer Group and CreateTO, 5207 Dundas West, above, is the first project to go under construction as part of the City of Toronto’s Housing Now initiative, with 26- and 30-storey towers connected via mid-rise podium wings. The Etobicoke Civic Centre, below, designed by Henning Larsen Architects and Adamson Associates Architects for CreateTO, will feature four towers up to 16 storeys housing municipal offices, a library, community facilities, and public services.
