A new public passage carved through urban heritage block - The Gateway development will integrate the existing University of Toronto Schools building (both the existing and the new addition) and combine it with academic, residential, and retail uses facing directly north onto Bloor street West. A similar mix use retail, academic, and residential will combine the southern half of the development. The southern development will integrate the existing single-family dwellings on Spadina and Washington Avenue into a cohesive architectural statement. Overall the development will result in 80,000 s.m. of gross floor area above grade. The Gateway will be the anchor development at the northern edge of the campus along Bloor Street, blending it with future growth oriented towards the south and east of campus. It will also redefine the relationship between future expansion and the traditional heart of campus. The Gateway will therefore play a vital role in tying the St. George Campus and connecting this it city as a whole.

​

Site 1 will be a unique partnership between the University of Toronto (UoT) and University of Toronto Schools (UTS) to create a comprehensive mixed use development while leveraging the heritage assets of the existing buildings on site - the heritage buildings, the site area, its location, and its projected yield are key assets towards setting the value added goals for the vision. Key to the goals of the project is the integration of the community by forming a vibrant public realm at the heart of the development - “Creating a gateway between the campus and the community”. The Gateway will be an Iconic development, at North East corner of University of Toronto’s St. George Campus, connecting the Campus with the surrounding community by offering a distinctive mixed use program on the site involving, living, learning, and working.
