Phase 2 will add approximately 3,160 rental units across 17 buildings, bringing the total Arbo development to support up to 115,000 residents across 15 planned districts.<\/p>\n<p>The 13.5-hectare Phase 2 site will feature predominantly mid-rise buildings of 6-8 storeys, with strategic taller elements reaching up to 35 storeys concentrated near major transit corridors. The proposal includes 2,841 market-rate units and 316 affordable homes, representing 10% affordability compared to the district&#8217;s 20% target.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond housing, Phase 2 incorporates significant community infrastructure: a TCDSB elementary school, daycare, and retail concentrated along Keele Street. Importantly, 94% of the development lies within 800 metres of Downsview Park station, positioning residents near both TTC and GO Transit connectivity.<\/p>\n<p>The project advances Toronto&#8217;s rental housing supply at scale while the broader Downsview transformation continues reshaping northwest Toronto&#8217;s real estate landscape.
