– Urban Designer
We have a vision of where things are going to go, and share that vision with our clients.
Industry insight We anticipate who will be involved from a municipal approvals perspective, know the individuals in the industry and have deep knowledge of everything that’s happening within it.
Working together Collaboration and independent thinking are critical to our success, not just internally, but externally, and understanding the role of other disciplines.
Thinking bigger We understand how urban design fits within a more encompassing and complex process.

providing expert advice on projects
preparing massing analyses and master plans
developing urban design guidelines and briefs

working with our graphics team to produce exciting visuals
We’re proud to be part of the team behind the proposed redevelopment of 56-60 Yonge Street!
On March 25, 2026, City Council adopted recommendations from Community Planning staff to approve Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications for the site, along with alterations to a designated heritage property, to permit a 65-storey (243.5 metres, including mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building containing 648 residential units and 68 square metres of retail space along Yonge Street. The tower partially cantilevers over an existing 8-storey designated heritage building containing a hotel at 56 Yonge Street (Hotel Victoria), which will be retained.
It was great to welcome Bousfielders to our new space in Hamilton last month and spend some time sharing the space together!

We had a great time at @uli_toronto 8th Annual Winter Social at Waterworks Food Hall!
As sponsors, we appreciate spaces that bring people together a room full of people who care about how this city evolves.
As we approach International Women’s Day, we reflect and take a moment to recognize the women whose insight and leadership shape the way our cities grow. At Bousfields, we are proud annual sponsors for Women’s Leadership Initiative - ULI Toronto (WLI) and its initiatives, advancing women in our profession. We’re looking back at some key moments through the photos captured here. WLI brings people together to have meaningful and intentional conversations about their careers, inclusion in the workplace and moving our industry so more individuals can #GivetoGain. Happy #IWD2026!

Big shoutout and thank you to our incredible interns Alley Poon, Myah Sachedina, and Leo Bridgewater wrapped up their internship experiences with us this past week!
Here are some key takeaways they noted from their time with us:
“My eight-month co-op at Bousfields has been everything I hoped for in a final internship! It’s been such a pleasure getting to know everyone, both on Team Lennox and across the firm, and to be part of an environment that values knowledge-sharing and building connections with one another beyond work. I’m incredibly thankful to everyone who took the time to teach, support, and get to know me throughout my internship. I’ve been able to reach goals I’d been working towards for a long time, and I truly appreciate the experience. I hope to see everyone again in the future!” - Alley Poon
“My time at Bousfields has been extremely memorable and has helped me grow not only as an individual, but also as a planner. I am very grateful for the team of planners who taught, coached, and believed in me throughout the past 8 months. I’m proud of the goals I’ve accomplished during this time and the hard work that went into achieving them. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey; I’m excited to see where the rest of it takes me.” - Myah Sachedina
“The eight months I have spent with Bousfields has been an extremely memorable experience. Everyone across the firm makes an incredible effort to ensure interns can thrive and challenge themselves throughout the various facets of the industry.
