In this edition of the UTPro Instant Report, we turn our attention to South Etobicoke, specifically the Multiple Listing Service’s Zone W06, and we’ll look particularly at Humber Bay Shores at its east end.\u00a0Roughly bordered by the Gardiner Expressway to the north, Humber Bay Arch Bridge to the east, Lake Ontario to the south, and Etobicoke Creek to the west, MLS Zone W06 features a vast array of pre-construction and recently completed projects. While we will confine our spotlight to Humber Bay Shores projects this time, the UTPro Instant Report’s statistics capture all of the other pockets of development within the zone, offering an overall view of its current growth.<\/p>\n

Cumulatively, these developments will introduce 23,919 new residential units to Etobicoke south of the Gardiner, ranging from smaller low-rises to whole master-planned communities. With its coming GO station at Park Lawn Road, and its prime waterfront location, Humber Bay Shores is poised for sustained growth.<\/p>\n
