Bloor-Kipling

The Bloor-Kipling project will deliver more than 2,700 homes, a new Etobicoke Civic Centre, a new City park, great public spaces and a dynamic mix of amenities all located at the heart of Etobicoke Centre.

The Bloor-Kipling (Six Points) site, now under construction, will contribute to furthering several of the City’s key public policy goals including the delivery of affordable housing, helping to meet Toronto’s climate action targets and adding to the overall health and well-being of the surrounding community.

The City of Toronto’s investment in demolishing the Six Points Interchange unlocked 18 acres of new City-owned land for the evolution of Etobicoke Centre as a vibrant, mixed-use, transit-oriented community.  

The site, which totals 17.91 acres, includes seven land parcels. Blocks 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7, were identified as development parcels for housing, Block 4 is the location of the new Etobicoke Civic Centre (ECC), and Block 2 will be a future City park.  

In total, the five development blocks will include 2,700 residential homes, 900 of which will be affordable rental homes. All of the development blocks will also be serviced by a District Energy plant with all heating and cooling needs to be provided by a low-carbon thermal district energy network.   

The mix of residential, office, and institutional uses enhanced with a rich network of open spaces and parkland will create a dynamic community.
