Case Study
In order to meet the rising demand for jobs and housing in Toronto, Woodbine Racetrack, a 1956 horse racing site, has been reimagined as a transit-oriented mixed-use development by master planners SWA Group. The 684-acre site integrates new uses for 60,000 new residents and a new public transit station without the need for carbon-intensive greenfield development and new infrastructure build out. The site is the single largest contiguously owned parcel of development land remaining in the City of Toronto.
