Menkes and QuadReal have started construction on the next phase of the largest mixed-use development in the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre. The team broke ground on the East Tower of Bravo. The condo community will be a trio of towers consisting of 32, 41 and 51 storeys.
The towers contain 1,654 residential units, at-grade retail, a pedestrian mews, and a privately-owned public space, known as POPS. It will feature a range of indoor and outdoor amenities, open spaces and an animated retail promenade, with bistros, cafes, and shops. The developers are also touting its proximity to transit, including Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station.
An array of amenities for both adults and children are also in the works to reach the growing segment of young families living in condos today. They include, a co-working space, chef’s kitchen; a fully-equipped gym with a dry sauna and meditation areas, a music lounge, an indoor children’s playroom and outdoor play area, outdoor screening theatre, and social spaces for adults.

“With our partners at QuadReal, we are committed to creating a truly urban new community in the heart of the VMC, said Jared Menkes, executive vice president of high rise at Menkes. “Bravo is designed around the themes of connectivity and convenience, offering future 905’ers a lifestyle typically only available in the heart of downtown Toronto.”
The project is part of Menkes and QuadReal’s master-planned redevelopment of the 83-acre community known as Assembly Park in Vaughan, bounded on the north and south by Highways 7 and 407, and Hwy 400 to the west.
The first two towers—East and West—at Bravo launched last summer. Occupancies are anticipated to begin early 2028.
“The City of Vaughan is an important partner, and we are thrilled to see our shared vision for the VMC take another step forward,” said Toby Wu, executive vice president of development at QuadReal.
“QuadReal is excited to work with Menkes to deliver much needed housing and create a community and cultural hub, complete with retail, green spaces, and infrastructure dedicated to arts and cultures. All of which are essential elements for a vibrant VMC.”
