As we head into the summer of 2026, Toronto is rolling out significant infrastructure and lifestyle updates that could influence property desirability across the downtown core. From the highly anticipated return of Doors Open Toronto\u2014featuring a debut appearance by the CN Tower\u2014to major transit initiatives, the city is prioritizing pedestrian-friendly living.
