🚀 Toronto's Ambitious Plan for Villiers Island: Building the Future or Missing the Mark? 🚀 Toronto has a rare chance to create a new neighbourhood from scratch with Villiers Island on the eastern waterfront. This 39.6-hectare project promises new roads, public spaces, parks, and at least 15 towers ranging from 19 to 49 storeys, offering about 9,000 homes and 2,900 jobs. 🏢 Key Features: - Located in the Port Lands, transformed with an extended Don River valley to prevent flooding. - Latest plans approved by city council more than double the original density. - Focus on balancing density with livability and enhancing the waterfront. However, experts are questioning if this plan goes far enough amid Toronto's affordability crisis. With 80% of the land publicly owned, some argue more homes should be integrated into the plan now before the layout becomes too fixed. “It’s high density,” says Carly Bowman, Director of Community Planning, but the question remains: is it ambitious enough for the future? Let's ensure @Digital Home Development maximize the public benefit of this unique opportunity! 🌊🏙 What are your thoughts on Toronto's plan for Villiers Island? Should the city aim higher to address the housing crisis? Share your views below! ⬇️ #Toronto #VilliersIsland #UrbanPlanning #RealEstate #WaterfrontDevelopment #FutureCity

By strategically managing land use, town planning ensures that residential, commercial, and recreational areas are developed in harmony with one another. This careful planning helps to create vibrant, functional spaces where people can live, work, and play comfortably. It also involves infrastructure development, such as roads, schools, and hospitals, which are essential for the well-being of residents. Through thoughtful design and regulation, town planning addresses the needs of today while anticipating the challenges of tomorrow. This balance of development and preservation enhances the quality of life for residents and fosters a sense of pride and belonging. In essence, effective town planning transforms our communities into sustainable, thriving places that meet the needs of current and future generations.

I am very pleased Vancouver City Council enthusiastically and unanimously endorsed our program for Villages, implementing a key land use and housing strategy from The Vancouver Plan. Villages will have a number of valuable benefits: ✔️ Enabling more Vancouverites the opportunity to benefit from walkable, mixed use, and amenity laden communities. ✔️ Providing middle density housing options between 3-6 storeys across hundreds of city blocks filling a gap between multi-plex and areas of the city enabling high rises such as Downtown, Broadway Plan area and Transit-Oriented Areas. ✔️ Streamlining approvals and housing delivery at scale with zoned land for up to 6 storeys with simplified zoning district schedules, enabling projects to go straight to Development Permit. ✔️ Creating a diversity of retail and services and people oriented public spaces. ✔️ Enhancing ecological function and mobility choices in communities. 17 of 25 Villages will be delivered through this 18 month program, while others are being delivered through area planning programs like Rupert-Renfrew (coming to Council soon) and subsequent area planning including for Punjabi Market. Villages will take a novel approach to area planning by typology across the city, rather than sequentially neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood over many years and decades. Engagement will build upon Vancouver Plan work and facilitate the unique elements of each Village to be strengthened.

Over the next five years, the City of Melbourne is forecasting an additional 21,615 dwellings are needed to support its population by 2028. There are some 12,300 apartments in the current pipeline for Central Melbourne. This suggests a 40% dwelling shortfall within the next 5 years. Far East Consortium is proud to have delivered both Upper West Side and West Side Place, on the western edge of the Melbourne CBD, providing the city with over 5,500 dwellings over 14 years. Both represent a tangible example of the density and pace-of-change required to meet the nation’s housing demand. Both precincts demonstrate how well-designed and executed precincts can capitalise on location and infrastructure costs while retaining an equitable level of amenity and liveability for all residents, visitors, and neighbours. #PropertyDeveloper #FEC #WestSidePlace

THE FUTURE IS UP FOR MURRUMBA DOWNS! Offering suburban comfort at an affordable price, this Queensland hotspot is the perfect escape from the big city. Situated only 25 kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD, it blends easy metropolitan access with natural splendour at a price that won’t break the bank. It has a lively communal spirit & well-designed residential areas. This burgeoning property market offers a mix of contemporary homes & waterfront properties along the North Pine River that have proven exceedingly popular with savvy property investors. Even when taking into account the suburb’s idyllic lakeside properties, the median house price of $795,000 still sees the cost of an average detached dwelling in the area sit well below Brisbane’s median house price of $899,474. The area’s affordability is only one of the suburb’s strengths, with Murrumba Downs also benefitting from a range of educational facilities for kindergarten through to year 12. #thefuture #MurrumbaDowns #suburbancomfort

Urban centers in Central Florida are undergoing significant transformations as part of downtown revitalization efforts. These projects often focus on enhancing walkability, increasing residential density, and introducing a mix of uses to breathe new life into city centers. This revitalization is not just about building new structures but also about restoring historic buildings, improving public spaces, and adding cultural and recreational amenities that attract a vibrant mix of residents and tourists. The impact on real estate is profound, as revitalized downtown areas tend to see increased property values, heightened interest from retailers and businesses, and a boost in local economic activity. This kind of urban renewal is essential for cities looking to attract younger populations and foster a sense of community and belonging among residents. 📞 (407) 743-6593 📧 housesforsalefl@gmail.com #Broker #realestate #Realtor #BenchmarkRealestategroup #ToreyEisenman #CentralFlorida #RealEstateInsights #StayInformed
