Woonerf Street
A shared street designed for people first — blending pedestrians, cyclists, and slow-moving vehicles in a flexible, intimate space lined with trees, patios, and active ground uses.
Vision
A next-generation mixed-use neighbourhood that brings people, parks, and purpose together at the city’s newest urban gateway.
Master Plan
The Bend is a 14-acre, master-planned community that turns a key intersection into a complete neighbourhood. With four uniquely defined blocks shaped by a continuous public realm, the site will deliver over 3.5 million sq. ft. of mixed-use development.
A Global-Local Partnership
3C Lakeshore Inc.—a partnership between Castlepoint Numa, Cityzen, and Continental Ventures—is shaping a bold new vision for Toronto’s eastern waterfront. This landmark community brings together the international design excellence of Copenhagen-based Cobe and the local insight of architectsAlliance. With CCxA crafting a dynamic, public-realm-focused landscape and SvN leading innovative urban planning, the project sets a new standard for waterfront living in the city.
