The Cineplex site at 1025 has Council approval for 4,077 units. The Kipling-Queensway Mall site at 1255 is proposed for 7,360. Two of the largest files are sitting at the Ontario Land Tribunal.
The word doing all the work in most articles about this street is “proposed”. Below, every project carries its City of Toronto file number and its actual status, so you can tell the difference.

You will see figures like “20,000 units coming to The Queensway”. The City of Toronto has not published a corridor-wide unit total, and neither has Metrolinx or any credible report I could find. The number in the answer above is arithmetic on the individually sourced projects in this table, and it mixes approvals with appeals with proposals. I have shown you the components so you can add them up yourself and see what each one actually is.
Why so much of this is at the Tribunal
Three of the biggest files on the street — 125, 1549 and 1061 — are in front of the Ontario Land Tribunal rather than in front of Council. That is worth understanding, because it changes the timeline enormously.
The recurring fight on this corridor is employment land. The City report on 125 The Queensway describes the South Etobicoke Area of Employment as the second-largest concentration of land designated Employment Areas in Toronto, with over 44,000 jobs. Staff recommended against converting that particular 3.45-hectare site to mixed use, on the basis that residential uses could undermine the viability of the employment area. Council had already refused a conversion request for the site in June 2023.
That is a real, substantive planning conflict, and it is not going to be resolved quickly. If someone tells you a site with an OLT appeal on it is “coming in 2028”, ask them what the hearing date is.
What it means if you own here
- Views are not permanent. If a suite’s value rests on an unobstructed outlook, check the City’s Application Information Centre for the block it looks over. It is free and it takes two minutes.
- Construction is the near-term reality and density is the long-term one. Living beside a construction site for four years is a genuine cost. Living in a corridor with better retail, more transit ridership and more street life is a genuine benefit. Both will happen to you.
- Supply matters for resale. Several thousand new units within walking distance of your building is competition when you sell — particularly if you own a small suite, since small suites are what most of these projects are building.
My read
The Queensway is being rebuilt, and that is not marketing — the approvals are real and they are on the public record. But the gap between approved and built on this street is measured in years and sometimes decades. 1061 has been under appeal since 2014. 1750 is approved and still has an open subdivision file from 2021. Joya was assembled in 2017 and has not started.
Buy the street you can see, not the renderings. If the density arrives, it is upside. If you paid for it in advance, it is not.
Worried about what is going up next to a specific building?
Send me the address and I will check the City’s application register for the surrounding blocks, tell you what is approved versus appealed versus merely proposed, and give you a straight answer on what it means for your view and your resale. I do this before every offer I write on this street.

Condo Valuation
What’s your condo
worth today?
Three quick steps. Condos don’t price like houses — your floor, your view, and whether you own parking move the number more than anything else. This weighs all of them.

Frequently asked questions
How many units are proposed for The Queensway in Etobicoke?
There is no official corridor-wide total. Adding the individually documented projects gives well over 20,000 units, but that figure mixes Council approvals, Ontario Land Tribunal appeals and untested proposals. The largest single items are 7,360 units proposed at 1233-1255 The Queensway and 4,077 units approved at 1025 The Queensway.
Which Queensway developments are actually approved?
As of August 2026: 1025 The Queensway (4,077 units, approved by Council June 2025), 829 The Queensway (332 units, approved February 2026 with bills withheld pending an appeal), 1750 The Queensway (2,135 units, approved at the Tribunal), 1325-1361 The Queensway (zoning approved, site plan under review) and 1230 The Queensway (approved as 143 condo units, now resubmitted as rental).
Why are so many Queensway projects at the Ontario Land Tribunal?
The recurring conflict is employment land. The City describes the South Etobicoke Area of Employment as the second-largest concentration of employment-designated land in Toronto, with over 44,000 jobs, and has opposed converting parts of it to residential use. The 125 The Queensway file is the clearest example: staff recommended the City Solicitor attend the Tribunal in opposition, and the Planning and Housing Committee adopted that position in January 2026.
How do I check what is proposed near my Toronto condo?
Use the City of Toronto Application Information Centre, which lets you search active development applications by address for free. The City also publishes its full development applications register as open data, including file numbers, descriptions and current statuses.
Does nearby development hurt condo values?
It cuts both ways and the timing differs. In the short term, construction noise, dust and road closures are a real cost, and lost views are permanent. In the longer term, added density typically brings better retail, more transit ridership and more street activity. The risk to watch is competing new supply at resale, especially if you own a small suite.
