A parking lot at the corner of Yonge street and Wilson Avenue, across from the York Mills subway station, is beginning its ascent into Yonge City Square, a 700-suite mixed-use development, which is the largest new condo project to start construction in Toronto this year.
The Gupta Group held a ground-breaking ceremony on Tuesday for what will become two high-rises at 32 and 14 storeys, with ground-level retail and commercial space. This is also the first new development in the Hoggs Hollow neighbourhood in more than 20 years.
Renderings of the design showcase a lush green landscape surrounding the buildings, which back onto the Don Valley Golf Course. The development will directly connect to the York Mills subway station. About 36,000 square feet of resort-inspired amenities, include an expansive ninth-floor terrace, a fitness centre, entertainment lounges with golf simulators, an outdoor mini-put golf course and a luxurious outdoor pool. Occupancy is expected in spring 2028.
“Yonge City Square is a reflection of our belief in Toronto’s potential as a world-class city,” said Dr. Steve Gupta, founder and chairman of The Gupta Group. “It’s about creating homes, opportunities, and communities that elevate the way people live and connect.”
The site plan was originally meant to be a Hilton Hotel and office condo to meet demand for owned office space, but has evolved since 2016 to meet housing demand.
