Project Overview

Located at the southwest corner of Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue, 770 Don Mills Road will deliver a transit-oriented and mixed-income development just north of the Ontario Science Centre and steps away from the Crosstown LRT’s new Science Centre Station and Ontario Line. The project aims to achieve City-building objectives by providing 1,254 housing units, including 836 affordable rental housing units, an elementary school, park space, retail and childcare. The current use of the future site is a parking lot, so by maximizing the site’s potential, we can deliver a more inclusive and livable community.

The 770 Don Mills Road project requires intensive collaboration with public and private stakeholders and future private development partners to achieve desired building outcomes.

770 Don Mills Road is a project part of the Housing Now Initiative to invest in City-owned lands across Toronto for the development of affordable housing within mixed-income, mixed-use and transit-oriented communities. Zoning for this project was approved in June 2022.
