THE BIG PICTURE Inspired, award-winning architecture. Smart, creative interiors. Expansive green spaces. And all just minutes from the downtown core. Winner of BILD’s Best Design Award, River City is designed for excellent liveability and maximum sustainability: it is the neighbourhood for the 21st century
River City is a four-phase, LEED Gold community of over 1,100 loft-style condominiums and family-friendly town homes with street-level restaurants, cafes and boutiques. Spanning the area from King Street East to the new Don River Park, and from the Don River to River Street,
it’s the first stage of the carefully planned West Don Lands neighbourhood, and a key starting point for Toronto’s much-anticipated waterfront redevelopment. It will tie Corktown, one of Toronto’s oldest communities, to the Distillery District, and complete the collection of vibrant neighbourhoods that connect the east end of the city to the downtown core.

TORONTO'S LOWER EAST SIDE
Minutes from the downtown core, River City is at the centre of some of Toronto’s most eclectic historic districts.
Corktown is one of Toronto’s oldest neighbourhoods, its name derived from its origins in the early 1800s as an ethnic Irish enclave. Two churches dominate the area: the Italianate St Paul’s Basilica, built in 1889 and the home of Toronto’s oldest Catholic congregation, and Little Trinity Church, built in 1843. Today Corktown is a thriving neighbourhood, with new boutiques and restaurants appearing amidst the area’s original cottages and row-houses.
Home to Toronto’s film and media industry, Leslieville is today a highly sought after urban neighbourhood to the east of River City across the Don River, Leslieville has numerous restaurants, boutiques, galleries and antique shops, all centred on historic Queen Street East.
To the west of River City is the Distillery District, one of Toronto’s premier historic and entertainment districts, located in the former Gooderham and Worts Distillery. A collection of over 40 heritage buildings in a ten-block precinct, the Distillery is the largest collection of Victorian era industrial buildings in North America. Today it houses a unique collection of theatres, restaurants, stores and galleries.

WEST DON LANDS
Six thousand residences. Restaurants, coffee shops and retail stores. Offices, schools and child care centres. Artful public spaces and acres of green parkland. There's a beautiful neighbourhood rising from the empty fields of the West Don Lands’ industrial past. But it has taken tremendous vision to break ground on this underused parcel of land.
In 2006 things changed. The province put the West Don Lands into the hands of Waterfront Toronto. They developed definitive plans, public funds were set, and development began. Now the area is experiencing an exciting renaissance, and massive steps towards redevelopment have been made. A flood protection landform has been built to protect the area from Don River flooding. Don River Park and the highly innovative Underpass Park are complete.
It’s an exciting time to be living in Toronto - a whole new section of the city is opening up. And it’s going to be amazing.

PARKLAND ABOUNDS
Imagine being able to walk out your front door and into the city’s most spectacular urban park. The 18-acre Don River Park is a lush urban retreat of rolling hills, native woodlands and open lawns – and River City is situated right beside it. Perfect for running, walking, cycling and just hanging out, it’s a beautiful setting for city living.

UNDERPASS PARK
It was once a dark empty scar running through the north leg of Toronto’s West Don Lands district, but today Waterfront Toronto’s “Underpass Park” is an urban gem under the Richmond Adelaide ramps. Connecting the north and south portions of River City (and the bulk of the West Don Lands with the Corktown community to the north), this $5 million urban park by Vancouver-based Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg with Planning Partnership of Toronto is the most extensive park ever built under an overpass in Canada, and the first ever in Toronto.
