Vision
Bringing
It To Life
At The Bend, we’re reimagining the urban experience through a dynamic new gateway community designed to connect, inspire and evolve.
From vibrant public spaces and a reimagined Waterfront Promenade, to housing and retail, The Bend is anchored where Toronto’s established waterfront meets its next great neighbourhoods — a bold step toward a more connected, inclusive, and sustainable city.
