At the southern tip of YZD, Wilson District will be a gateway to connection and discovery – home to thousands of new residences, jobs, parks, and community spaces. With direct access to TTC Wilson Station, it’s built to connect people, places, and opportunities.
Wilson District - a working name that may change as planning progresses- is the second neighbourhood in development at YZD – envisioned as a walkable, transit-connected community shaped by the Downsview Secondary Plan and YZD's guiding vision.
Planning began in late 2024 and focuses on the careful design of:
A draft plan is anticipated to be submitted to the City of Toronto in early 2026, and community input will play an important role in shaping the future of this emerging neighbourhood. Your input is key to shaping an inclusive, sustainable future for the Wilson District.
In the meantime, YZD continues to bring the site to life through early programming - including pop-up events, public art and cultural experiences that offer a glimpse of what the future of the site could become.






The Wilson District is imagined as a welcoming community, a destination to explore, and a gateway connecting Toronto to something new.
As our neighbourhood develops, we are committed to ensuring its impact is positive for current residents and future generations, with a focus on local and equity‑deserving communities.
