A revised vision for one of Toronto’s largest redevelopment sites is advancing in North York, as updated plans for the Downsview West District portion of the former Downsview Airport Lands refine a massive mixed-use community surrounding Downsview Park TTC and GO station. Masterplanned by Urban Strategies alongside SLA and Indigenous-led Trophic Design for Canada Lands Company (CLC), with heritage integration overseen by ERA Architects, the resubmission further develops the district framework following feedback from City staff and Toronto's Design Review Panel.

The 30.3ha site occupies a large portion of the former aerospace and military lands north of Downsview Park. Located to the south and west of Sheppard Avenue West and Keele Street, the site includes the existing Downsview Park TTC and GO station at its northeast corner, while the sprawling Cold War-era Depot Building, a roughly 875,000 ft² industrial structure currently accommodating interim uses including film studios and the Downsview Park Merchants’ Market, currently dominates the otherwise grassy site.
