Bousfields was pleased to attend—and sponsor—the @uli_toronto Meet the Chief Planners 2026 Dinner. The evening offered a candid look at how different municipalities are approaching similar challenges —from changing demographics, the pressures related to these changes and the need for flexible policies to ensure resilience for the futures for our cities. It was valuable to hear where priorities are aligning and where they’re diverging across the region. Thanks to ULI Toronto for organizing a thoughtful discussion.

We are excited to share that the Final Report recommending approval for the proposed redevelopment of 45 Grenoble Drive was adopted at April’s Toronto City Council meeting. This project proposes to transform the existing vacant space at the southeast corner of the site into a new purpose-built rental apartment building that will support the activation and animation of Grenoble Drive and bring new amenities for existing and future residents to enjoy. Bousfields is proud to have led the planning, urban design and community engagement for the project, in close collaboration with the rest of the project team, including BDP Quadrangle, STUDIO tla, and RJ Burnside, on behalf of Gateway Properties.

🌎🌱🚴‍♂️ As planners, designers and engagements specialists, considering how we can plan and design for a better environment is an important part of the work we do!    Our team marked #EarthDay last month by biking to Biidaasige Park, spending some time doing neighbourhood clean ups and appreciating the green spaces in our communities.

Bousfields is proud to have worked with the Toronto Tempo, Canada’s first WNBA team, and City Staff on the planning applications for the Toronto Tempo Performance Centre (701 Fleet Street). This first‑of‑its‑kind facility will allow community members to share a world‑class performance centre alongside elite athletes. It will be a space where everyone is welcome and will be built in partnership with grassroots organizations across the Greater Toronto Area to expand access to basketball.

Last week, Bousfielders Jocelyn Deeks and Simone Hodgson from our Community Engagement Team had the pleasure of leading @torontohousing’s Development Division’s Engagement Team through two learning sessions on the City of Toronto’s planning application process and the relationship to community engagement. It’s not everyday that engagement practitioners get to exchange insights and learn from one another - suffice it to say, it was a very engaged group 😊 Thank you to the TCHC team for inviting and hosting us at their Leslie Nymark community. It’s always inspiring to get to see the spaces and places IRL that community engagement helps to shape!

🚲🧠🔬 The Bousfields team is gearing up for this year’s Bike for Brain Health, and the motivation is straightforward: Baycrest is one of the few organizations working on research, care, and education for dementia patients and the ride is a way to push that work forward in a tangible way. Every donation, whether large or small, moves Baycrest closer to breakthroughs that could change how aging and brain health are understood for future generations. If you’re interested in joining the ride yourself or donating, you can find our team page at the link in bio. Whether you ride, donate, or simply share the link, you’ll be supporting important research and care.

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.
