Bloor Dufferin

The Bloor & Dufferin development includes several residential buildings, including a 56-unit affordable housing building, office and retail space, a new public park, private and public streets, a Community Hub with a daycare centre, and direct access to the Dufferin TTC Subway.

In September 2021, Hazelview and Fitzrovia took over as co-development managers for the project with the aspiration to create a world-class example of community-oriented, pedestrian-first, mixed-use urban design.

This project will deliver a historic $50M community benefits package – one of the largest community benefits package to date for the City of Toronto, including:

  • +2,000 residential units, including 46.5% family-oriented units
  • 56-unit eight storey affordable housing building conveyed to the City of Toronto
  • $12.5 million cash contribution to create and support additional affordable housing in Ward 9-Davenport
  • City of Toronto-owned Community Hub and daycare on the first two floors of the former Kent School building
  • A new public road that is bus-accessible to prioritize safe and convenient transportation for students and visitors alike
  • A new 3,580 m2 park at 70 Croatia St
