Designing

The Bend

Designed with intention and guided by a strong public realm, every element of the Bend reinforces a sense of community and place.

From the vibrant waterfront promenade to intimate courtyards, the Master Plan prioritizes people over cars, connections over barriers, and flexibility over rigidity. It reflects a city in motion – and a site that leads by design.

Take a Walk Through The Bend

The Débarcadère

The Débarcadère (in French) or Embarcadero (in Spanish) defines a key arrival point – where pedestrians cyclists and vehicles converge.  This grand pick-up and drop-off point along Lake Shore Boulevard marks the arrival to the Bend.

NW Block Courtyards

A series of connected courtyards create spaces for gathering, resting and encounters with neighbours. Sit on a patio, grab a coffee and take in the hustle and bustle of Queens Quay.

East-West Passage

Each courtyard is connected by a mid-block passageway, connecting the Northwest Block from west to east.

Southwest Block

Across Queens Quay, the Southwest block offers a place for discovery. Take a journey to the water’s edge.

Woonerf Lane

A shared lane designed for people first – blending pedestrians, cyclists and slow-moving vehicles.

SW Block Courtyards

Intimate-scale courtyards offering places to gather, play, connect and relax.

Waterfront Promenade

A signature multi-level public space along the Keating Channel & Toronto’s next waterfront destination. Take in the view of the city, the inner harbour and the new island.

Upper Promenade

A lively pedestrian and cycling path lined with trees and vibrant retail spaces.

Lower Promenade

Inviting waterside seating offers a serene spot to unwind and enjoy unique views of the channel.
