In North York's Newtonbrook East neighborhood, a transformative project is taking shape with the proposal of a 50-storey condominium tower at 7-17 Nipigon Avenue. This development, a testament to the evolving urban landscape of Toronto, is strategically located due to its proximity to the upcoming Steeles station on the Yonge Line 1 extension.
Storeys reports that currently this plot of land houses five single detached residential dwellings. If all goes according to plan, these could become a thing of the past, to make way for the development, which will stand 50 storeys tall, with a five-storey podium. Its total gross floor area will exceed 400,000 square feet.

Just across Yonge Street, the Centerpoint Mall redevelopment plans to introduce 8,325 residential units across 33 buildings, with the tallest also reaching 50 storeys. This large-scale transformation underscores the region's rapid urbanization and the growing need for residential space.
As Toronto evolves, projects like the one at Nipigon Avenue play a pivotal role in shaping the city's future. Each new development contributes to a vision of a vibrant, connected, and sustainable urban landscape.
