Transit City in Vaughan will feature residential, retail and social amenities
Cool digs, easy access to transportation and affordability all combine to make Transit City’s latest condo offering perfect for millennials.
In Vaughan, they got the opportunity to do something different thanks to Mitchell Goldhar, executive director of SmartCentres Real Estate Investment Trust, which is the main developer. The key to master-planned communities is having a mix of commercial, retail, residential, and social amenities such as community centres, parks, libraries schools and, of course, access to transit, says architect Don Schmitt. He points to Don Mills , Guildwood and Cornell as examples in the GTA.
It’s anticipated that there will be more residential towers and possibly some mid-rise homes here in the future – although no plans have been approved at this point, says Schmitt. “It’s a classic Toronto arterial, like College, or Queen, which have narrow block frontages along the high street, then long blocks stretching north, so you get lots of public connection,” he says.
