Sitting on the westernmost border of Metropolitan Toronto makes Etobicoke an ideal residential location for people who like a little more space and a suburban community vibe while remaining close to the action in downtown Toronto. South Etobicoke in particular is well known and regarded as affordable, family-oriented, green-living. Investors and city planners have all recognized Etobicoke’s intrinsic value as a growing hub of commercial and community activity. Recent injections of government capital for infrastructure improvement prove that there is a long-term vision to grow Etobicoke as a premiere city.
Over the next several years Metrolinx will construct transit extensions with convenient links to destinations along GO Transit’s Lakeshore West line. With plans to increase GO train service, Metrolinx will improve the schedule and run more trains through the area, providing convenient connections to downtown Toronto. These major improvements in accessibility will make the Mimico Triangle an ideal residential location. Future demands for housing mean Grand Central Mimico is on a track for real estate appreciation, making today an excellent time to invest in the area. Coming soon to the area is a modern new Mimico GO station connecting residents to downtown Toronto and the future Ontario Line.
Shortage of housing and commercial real estate across central Toronto has largely driven Etobicoke’s growth and expansion in recent years. With its market trending upwards, the region is poised for more growth in the coming decades.
Affordable real estate, its proximity to Toronto, improving infrastructure, and vibrant streetscapes are making Etobicoke an increasingly popular choice for start-ups and corporations to set up their head offices. Thanks to its available open space, Etobicoke has also developed a strong manufacturing sector offering local employment opportunities. Two large-scale film production facilities are currently in the works and will soon offer even more jobs. With a robust local economy and greater access Etobicoke is set for an influx of residents seeking housing and employment.
For students and young professionals, high-ranking post-secondary institutions like Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber make Etobicoke an ideal location to further their education and training. Improvements in public transportation give students easy and convenient access around Etobicoke. Of huge benefit are more affordable housing options across Etobicoke, a welcome break from the inflated rates we’re seeing in central Toronto.
The future outlook is bright and promising for Etobicoke and Grand Central Mimico, making it an ideal location for residential development and investment.
The Grand Central Mimico Master-Planned Community is currently in its pre-construction phase. The development is located at 54 Newcastle St, just south-east of Royal York Road and the Gardiner Expressway, and only steps from Mimico GO Station – an area known as Mimico Triangle.
