Guildwood GO Transit Oriented Community

A new Transit Oriented Community in Guildwood GO Station.

Fotenn was retained by Infrastructure Ontario (IO) to prepare a Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) Development Proposal Submission at Guildwood GO to the City of Toronto for the property municipally known as 4105 Kingston Road (TOC development). The property contains the Guildwood GO Station which includes a Via Rail Station and supporting surface parking facilities.

Fotenn has led the creation of development objectives and initial concepts, preparation of the site layout, production of an urban design study and crafting of associated policy amendments to guide the development. The project has involved public engagement and ongoing government and agency review.  Fotenn also coordinated and led the broader project team in the conceptual design stages and preparation of supporting technical studies.

The resulting plan will establish a complete, mixed-use community consisting of three development blocks with six towers ranging in height from 30 to 60 storeys. The project will deliver new residential units and ground-floor retail/commercial space. A new public road network and connected public realm will integrate the site with the surrounding community. The plan also includes multimodal pathways, public and private rights-of-way (ROWs), and a network of parks and open spaces, all of which contribute to creating a complete and connected community.
