1. A process is currently underway to develop a vision and framework for 520 acres of land in Downsview, served by three subway stations and a GO station.
It’s big!
Time to play, ‘How Big Is It?’

2. The Downsview site, atop NYC, would take you from Tribeca to Downtown Brooklyn, encompassing the entire Brooklyn Bridge.
3. The Downsview site, atop Washington DC, would take you from GWU, past Lafayette Square, to the Washington Monument and National Mall.
4. The Downsview lands would easily enclose the three pyramids of the Giza pyramid complex, just within the transverse section across the middle of the site.
5. The Downsview site, atop London, would reach from Elephant & Castle, across the Thames, to Covent Garden.
6. The Downsview site, atop Barcelona, would stretch from the beach by Port Olimpic to Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia.
7, (looking again to the Barcelona example, the 520 acre site would enclose well over 100 of that city’s iconic blocks.)
8. The Downsview site would enclose all of Vatican City, and sizable sections of Rome to the north and south.
9. Yes, this would be the Downsview site atop Burning Man.
10. And finally (to popular request), drawn over downtown Toronto, the Downsview site extends from the ferry docks to the heart of U of T, enclosing almost all of the Financial District and Entertainment District.

520 acres.
3 subway stations.
GO train.
401.
Downsview Park.
10 minutes north to York U, 20 minutes south to UofT.
Public land, atop transit, in a city starved for well-located affordable housing.
Hopefully the vision & framework will be commensurate with the opportunity.
