Residential towers may soon soar high above Midtown Toronto’s Bayview and Eglinton intersection.

Located in the Leaside neighbourhood, the area has undergone a number of changes in recent years with the construction of a new rapid transit station along the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. The soon to be completed Leaside Station is part of a newly designated Major Transit Station Area (MTSA), or areas within a 500-800 metre radius of a transit station, as identified in the Province of Ontario’s Growth Plan.

Centred around the Bayview and Eglinton intersection, developers have assembled a number of existing properties slated for new high-rise and mid-rise projects. There are now more than 3,400 residential units proposed within a 300 metre radius of the intersection, including towers up to 46 storeys.
