Origin
Summary
Under CreateTO’s management, Toronto Port Lands Company (TPLC) continues to advance the long-term vision for a sustainable new community in the heart of Toronto. TPLC is the majority landowner in the Port Lands, which is one of the largest and most valuable undeveloped pieces of real estate in North America. On behalf of the City, TPLC is committed to making sure the people of Toronto get the most value out of this amazing part of the City.
TPLC manages leases with more than 80 tenants that provide important supplies and services to the downtown core; and is continuing to advance the long-term vision to create sustainable new communities in the Port Lands with McCleary District and Ookwemin Minising; and supporting further development of the film industry in the area through projects like Basin Media Hub.
Throughout 2024, TPLC continued its support of the flood protection work by Waterfront Toronto which will unlock many new uses to better serve Toronto residents and visitors. More than 120+ acres of land continue to be leased to Waterfront Toronto to support the completion of the flood protection work. In November 2024, the Port Land Flood Protection (PLFP) project saw a major milestone with the removal of the north plug, which completed the new mouth of the Don River, allowing the river to flow freely, and marked the creation of a new island on Toronto’s waterfront. Once completed, this initiative will unleash an abundance of new opportunities from affordable housing to vibrant parks, trails, and commercial hubs. We are committed to continuing to work with our partners and stakeholders to ensure that this distinctive downtown area enriches Toronto to the fullest extent possible.
