Toronto’s City Council has given the green light to a significant wave of new residential developments, approving 13 applications in March 2026. This surge includes over 7,000 residential units, with a notable emphasis on purpose-built rental housing. Approximately 3,019 rental units were approved, featuring 371 secured affordable units and 438 rental replacement units.
The approvals span various neighbourhoods, from downtown’s 60 Yonge Street condo tower to the Swansea Mews Redevelopment. Several projects also integrate community infrastructure, such as production studio space in the Port Lands. These developments signify a response to the GTA’s growing housing needs, particularly in the rental market.
