The Vision
500 Sheppard Ave. E will become the catalyst for forward-thinking urban community-building along the Sheppard-Bayview Corridor. The first of its kind in the area, 500 Sheppard will establish a new standard for development.
Blending the best of public and private spaces, employment opportunities for the health and wellness sector, and premier residential offerings with proximity to integrated specialty retail and amenities, this vertical neighbourhood will integrate all the elements necessary to create a complete mixed-use community development that is directly connected to transit at the heart of North York.
500 / S Principles
Connections to Transit
500 Sheppard Ave E. will provide a rare opportunity to be easily accessible to the Bayview Subway Station and constant TTC bus service. Located close to HWY 401, the site will offer local and regional connectivity for residents for ease of access to the surrounding community and the broader GTA. 500 Sheppard Ave E.’s direct subway connection positions the site as the standard for future development along a transit line – one that encourages appropriate intensification to create a true vertical neighbourhood in the heart of North York.
Upper-Level Office Space
500 Sheppard Ave E. will be a mixed-use building that features an office component on the second and third levels. Health and wellness oriented uses will complement the established retail within the neighbourhood, and will offer residents and neighbouring patients from the surrounding area new, premium healthcare options. By locating office space on the upper levels of the development, the Developer can create other community-focused street-front conditions along Sheppard Ave.
Community-Oriented Space
With other anchor community uses such as the YMCA, Bayview Village, and the Bayview Subway Station nearby, 500 Sheppard will complement these through a series of community focused spaces that will offer residents and community members an opportunity to gather, interact, and foster meaningful connections.
Connected Greenspace
500 Sheppard Ave E will increase the size of the existing Bayview Avenue Parkette, offering residents and the public with opportunities for health and wellness and creating a year-round urban park within the heart of North York. The greenspace will enhance the development by providing a place to relax and connect with other people.
“These thoughtfully designed buildings, including a new expanded park, will introduce a vibrant new community to the heart of a thriving up-town subway location to meet emerging housing demands.”
