Transit-Oriented
Fully Integrated Community
Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) are a globally recognized, proven development strategy to improve urban vitality in major cities. Vandyk Properties introduces this world-class concept to Toronto, a city with an ever-growing population currently sitting at 6.3 million, that requires the necessary infrastructure to support a broad group of new residents from a wide array of demographics searching for enhanced property value within the 416 and walking distance away from major transit infrastructure.
Grand Central Mimico is the first signed, binding agreement between a developer and Metrolinx for a transit-oriented community. This all-inclusive, future-proof neighbourhood will feature a new modern reconstruction of the Mimico GO station, with integrated access points to several new mixed-use buildings, connecting residents to downtown Toronto and the future Ontario Line.
Mimico GO Station will be conveniently located just two stops west of Toronto’s downtown Union Station, the city’s busiest and most significant transit hub, and one stop away from Exhibition Station, the future south-west terminus of the Ontario Line. This gateway location puts Grand Central Mimico residents just a 11-minute commute away from downtown Toronto and 15 minutes from the financial district, making daily commutes, future events, and culture just minutes away, and car-free living possible and convenient.
Built for Investors & Residents
Premier Mimico Location
Recognized as a priority “Regeneration Area” by the City of Toronto, The Mimico Triangle is strategically positioned in close proximity to many of Toronto’s major arterials including the Gardiner Expressway, The Queensway and Lakeshore Boulevard. Vandyk is underway in the master-planning of this area as majority owners in this new district through Grand Central Mimico, a vision by Vandyk intended to serve this highly anticipated future community. The transformational project will encompass over two million square feet of mixed-use development that spans over four city blocks and nine proposed towers, anchored by over 1.85 million square feet of new residential living and 200,000 square feet of commercial and employment opportunities by Vandyk. As a Regeneration Area, and a new master planned neighbourhood, the provincial and municipal commitment to promote significant investment and intensification in the area presents a unique opportunity for both end-users and investors alike.
