Transformation of Villiers Island is well underway and is centred on the re-naturalized Don River, a massive investment by all three levels of government scheduled to be completed in 2024. One of three privately owned sites, the 309 Cherry Street site creates an unparalleled opportunity of this most anticipated waterfront neighbourhood. Surrounded by significant parks and open spaces, the design features a new publicly accessible plaza, adaptive reuse of two heritage buildings, a number of green sustainability features, mid and tall building forms with commercial uses at grade.
