McCleary District Precinct Plan Study Update

Of the developable land in the Precinct, approximately two-thirds is City of Toronto and CreateTO lands. The McCleary District Precinct is envisioned to grow into a dense, urban mixed-use, mixed-income, complete community in the Port Lands. It also plays a unique role as a transitional area between the emerging mixed-use areas (the new island, formerly Villiers Island, and East Harbour) the Productions, Interactive and Creative ("PIC") employment-focussed districts (Turning Basin and Media City), as well as the port and industrial areas that continue to be instrumental to meeting city building objectives in the area (South Port and East Port). The purpose of the study is to implement the policy direction in the Central Waterfront Secondary Plan, providing detailed design and implementation guidance for development in the Precinct. The study is sufficiently advanced to inform ongoing discussions about private lands in the Precinct with under-appeal development applications, in the context of Ontario Land Tribunal appeals with key information and exchange dates occurring through Q4 of 2024.
