The new Mirvish Village uses a more modern application of the word village, going far denser and taller, and as it heads towards its opening, we&#8217;ll soon know how much of the original funk remains, and whether all the new buildings offer a modern village feel when full of new residents, retailers, services, and open space. There&#8217;s a lot of promise here, and in a few months time we&#8217;ll hope to see that start to be fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p><imgx alt=\"Looking up at older and newer components of Mirvish Village, Toronto\" class=\"image-display_default\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-dccf931c-2d1e-47ef-bbcd-5dab6132c95a\" data-insert-attach=\"{\" id=\"\" data-insert-class=\"image-display_default\" data-insert-type=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2023\/06\/52899\/52899-159028.jpg\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2023\/06\/52899\/52899-159028.jpg', true, ''); return false;\" title=\"Looking up at older and newer components of Mirvish Village, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor smably\"\/><span class=\"image-description\">Looking up at older and newer components of Mirvish Village, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor smably<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Want to see your work featured as Daily Photo?
