Toronto Neighbourhoods

Top 10 things no one will tell you about Clarkson and Lorne Park — except your local real estate expert

On 23 July 2026 the Official Plan around Clarkson GO went from a two-storey cap to twenty-five storeys, with no right of appeal – and every consolidated Official Plan chapter you can download from the City is still dated 24 March 2026. The 25-storey ceiling is not an urban design number: it is the height the air quality model was run at. Two of the four towers already applied for on Royal Windsor Drive are taller than that.

Top 10 things no one will tell you about Streetsville, Mississauga — except your local real estate expert

Streetsville is no longer a merely-listed village. By-law 0234-2024, passed by Council on 11 December 2024, designated it a Heritage Conservation District under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act, and on the 105 contributing properties inside it, demolition of a building is simply not permitted. The main street is capped at three storeys with a two-storey minimum, Queen Street South is frozen at two lanes by policy, and Streetsville GO is the only one of Mississauga’s three Milton-line stations that is not a Protected Major Transit Station Area.

Top 10 things no one will tell you about Liberty Village, Toronto — except your local real estate expert

Until 25 June 2026 roughly the western half of Liberty Village was legally an employment area where new housing was prohibited. The floor that replaced that prohibition fell from 45 per cent non-residential floor area to 15 per cent by a by-law enacted ten weeks ago. Plus the status certificate deadline that binds the corporation, the GO station the planning designation is named after that is paused and is not in Liberty Village, and a building approved 11.7 metres from an active rail corridor.
