So What’s Coming to Bayview Village?
Many new exciting developments are being introduced at Bayview Village, one being the expansion and redevelopment of Bayview Village Shopping Centre.
The Vision: to modernize and activate the southwest portion of Bayview Village. This will include bringing Bayview Village out to Sheppard, with a multi-level storefront becoming our new front door to the city. An integrated podium incorporating both residential and retail elements will support the city’s key planning and urban design objectives for this part of Sheppard Avenue. To ensure a sustainable, future-proof development, we aim to improve connectivity to transit and the community. That’s why our concept plan includes the addition of mixed-use right at Bayview and Sheppard, and a potential new underground access connecting transit to the new podium and Bayview Village itself. Dedicated public open space will form a new urban ‘town square’, allowing for different events and opportunities for the community to come together all year long.
