## Content

Yesterday Sidewalk Toronto released its draft site plan for Quayside. Here’s what it looks like:There’s a big emphasis on people-first streets and on the public realm. I like the idea of a waterfront plaza at the tip of the Parliament slip and of a floating walkway bridge to Promontory Park (bottom right hand corner of the above image). There are also a number of more enclosed pedestrian laneways and courtyards, which I am sure will result in more favorable microclimate conditions. That matters, especially on the water. Here are some high level project stats:All mass timber construction Five “sites” Buildings ranging from 3 to 30 storeys68% residential (40% of the residential will be below-market, with 20% being affordable and 5% being deeply affordable) 20% commercial 15% flex space (retail, production, arts, community) ~2,500 residential units A full copy of the draft site plan can be downloaded, here.
