Toronto’s Pulse Beats at YZD

In the heart of Toronto, a transformation is underway at YZD, the former Downsview Airport lands. Over the coming decades, these 370-acres of largely undeveloped lands will be transformed into a series of new neighbourhoods. Creating a globally recognized mixed-use urban community, known for its vibrant neighbourhoods, jobs, parks and everyday amenities, within minutes of each other. At its core lies a two-kilometre pedestrian street, the repurposed former runway, set to become the bustling heart of this new community. YZD is a nod to the call sign for the Downsview airport that occupied these lands for decades. It is a tribute to our past and a promise for our future.
