Project Overview
The project site, made up of 1631-1641 Queen Street East, 1090 Eastern Avenue and a portion of 1080 Eastern Avenue, sits north of Woodbine Park and along the TTC’s 501 streetcar line in the Beaches-East York neighbourhood.
The new mixed-income, mixed-use development will deliver approximately 328 new rental homes, including approximately 99 affordable rental units. The project will also provide an enhanced facility for the Coxwell Early Learning & Child Care Centre, an Indigenous placekeeping opportunity at Kishigo Lane, and a small commercial space on Queen Street East.
The project originally encompassed only 1631 Queen Street East. In 2021, a portion of 1080 Eastern Avenue was approved by City Council to be included in the project site. In 2025, the City of Toronto acquired the adjacent property at 1641 Queen Street East, strengthening the overall development concept and enabling the delivery of additional residential units.
CreateTO, the City of Toronto and an Indigenous design team held several community engagement meetings and Indigenous sharing circles on the project in 2020 and 2021. The final design concept for the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications was shared with the local community at an Open House in October 2025.
1631 Queen Street East is a project being delivered under the Toronto Builds Policy Framework as an initiative to invest in City-owned lands across Toronto for the development of affordable housing within mixed-income, mixed-use, transit-oriented communities.
