Downsview Airport closed for good in April 2024, and while planes no longer taxi along the former military base, a new community with impressive towers will soon take flight from the runway and surrounding lands.

Canada Lands Company (CLC) submitted plans last week for its Downsview West District Plan, the company’s third community planned on the vast Downsview lands.

Located just northwest of the runway and adjacent to the Downsview Park TTC/GO station and Downsview Park, the project will put thousands of residents in proximity to the twinned transit stations.
