Get My Free Estimate →The ten things buyers on The Queensway and in Stonegate-Queensway are least often told, all of them documented: the corridor is still governed by a 2003 Avenue Study by-law permitting six storeys at 3.0 times lot area, and Council has approved forty-six; the Ontario Food Terminal at 165 The Queensway opens at 3 a.m., takes over a million vehicles a year and is closed to the public; the Humber Treatment Plant at 130 The Queensway is a 41-hectare plant serving 662,000 people; the Queensway Complete Street was approved in April 2022 and construction is anticipated for 2027; the Park Lawn westbound Gardiner on-ramp is closed to December 2026 and full rehabilitation starts as soon as 2027; the 80 Queensway bus runs every 25 minutes at midday and no subway station touches the corridor; Park Lawn GO is tied to a paused application with an unsigned benefits agreement; the City refused three employment conversions here in 2023 and the applications came anyway; one approved site carries a Class 4 Noise Area designation; and the Vacant Home Tax deems your unit vacant if you do not declare.
I work this street every week — my brokerage is at 799 The Queensway. None of this is an argument against buying here. It is an argument for buying here with the documents open.
Every item is traced to a primary source — an Avenue Study by-law, a Council decision, a staff report, a TTC service summary, a TRCA watershed page, an MPAC policy page — and each is listed at the bottom with the date I read it. Three things I deliberately left off because I could not source them to a primary document: whether Queensway Health Centre is an urgent care centre rather than an emergency department, which basement-flooding study area actually covers the Stonegate pocket, and school-by-school capacity or portable counts. I will publish those when I can cite them properly rather than repeat what everyone says.
The Queensway is the strangest major street in Toronto. In four kilometres it holds a provincial wholesale food market, the city’s second-largest sewage treatment plant, a car dealership row, a furniture district, one of the largest employment areas in Toronto, and — increasingly — forty-storey condominium towers. Behind it, Stonegate-Queensway is a quiet 1950s neighbourhood of detached houses that most buyers never look at until a real estate agent drives them through it.
Buyers arrive having read the same four things: it is transforming, it is close to the lake, the restaurants are good, the GO station is coming. What follows is the material the marketing leaves out, in the order I would want to know it if I were writing the offer.
1The rulebook governing this corridor is from 2003, and it permits six storeys
This is the single most important planning fact on The Queensway and almost nobody says it out loud.
The Queensway Avenue Study was completed in 2002 and adopted by City Council in June 2003, implemented through Zoning By-law No. 514-2003, covering The Queensway between Kipling Avenue and Mimico Creek. It contemplated, in the City’s own words, “six to eight storey mixed-use and mid-rise development with a density of three times the area of the lot.”
The as-of-right zoning matches that. Sites zoned Limited Commercial — Avenues Zone (AV) under the former Etobicoke by-law permit a maximum height of 21 metres, about six storeys, and a maximum Floor Space Index of 3.0. The city-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 does not apply where that site-specific former-Etobicoke zoning is in place.
Now look at what has been approved against it. At 1025 The Queensway, the Cineplex lands, City Council approved ten mixed-use buildings of 18 to 46 storeys plus two seven-storey employment buildings, 4,077 dwelling units, a 4,265 m² public park and a 929 m² ground-floor child care — adopted at Etobicoke York Community Council on 4 June 2025 and at City Council on 25–26 June 2025 on consent, without amendments and without debate.
What this means when you are buying. There is no current corridor plan telling you what goes next to you. Staff were directed in January 2024 to assess growth and transportation pressures on The Queensway and Humber Bay Shores, with a report due 3 December 2025; as of the City’s May 2025 decision report, no completed area study existed. So the honest answer to “what can they build across the street?” is: six storeys as of right, and whatever Council approves after that. Ask me to pull the live applications on a specific block before you pay a view premium.
2There is a provincial wholesale food market at 165 The Queensway, and it opens at three in the morning
The Ontario Food Terminal is not a farmers’ market and you cannot shop there. It is a provincial agency operating under the Ontario Food Terminal Act, with up to seven board members appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council.
| Ontario Food Terminal, 165 The Queensway | Documented figure |
|---|---|
| Site | 40 acres |
| Operating since | 1954 |
| Status | Wholesale only — not open to the public |
| Tenants | 21 warehouse tenants; approximately 400 farmers’ market tenants |
| Registered buyers | Over 5,000 |
| Vehicles per year | Estimated over one million |
| Weekday hours | 3:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. |
| Sunday hours | 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. |
| Saturday | Closed |
City Planning describes it as “the only wholesale produce market of its kind in Canada, and one of the four largest wholesale produce markets in North America,” serving “more than 1,500 Ontario farmers,” with “City-wide, provincial and national importance.”
And here is the part that should decide where on this street you buy. In its January 2026 appeal report on 125 The Queensway, City staff warned that residential development nearby could expose the Terminal to “potential compliance orders, fines, or operational constraints” because “inbound and outbound delivery activity occurs overnight and in the early morning hours.” That is the City writing down, in a staff report, that this is a 3 a.m. truck environment. If your bedroom window faces it, view at 3 a.m., not at 3 p.m.
3The city’s second-largest sewage treatment plant is at 130 The Queensway
The Humber Treatment Plant occupies 41 hectares at 130 The Queensway. It has operated since 1960, treats up to 473 million litres of wastewater a day and serves approximately 662,000 people. City Planning calls it the City’s “second largest wastewater treatment plant.”
The City reports investing more than $60 million to reduce odours since 2008, including two biofilters and three activated carbon units, and states that a further roughly $15 million is planned for 2027 to 2031 to upgrade odour control equipment and replace filter media. Aeration, digester, boiler and primary treatment upgrades are underway, with design work scheduled out to 2031.
Nobody markets this and everybody eventually notices it. It is on the City’s own website, it publishes annual reports, and the City has committed in writing to a 2027–2031 upgrade programme. That is both the reassurance and the admission. View on a warm afternoon with the wind off the lake, not only on a cold clear morning.
4The Queensway Complete Street was approved in 2022. Construction is anticipated for 2027
City Council adopted The Queensway Complete Street on 6 and 7 April 2022, item 2022.IE28.7, authorising the project between Burma Drive and a point 657 metres east of High Street, and asking staff to review extending it east to Royal York Road.
The design is genuinely good: protected raised bike lanes on both sides separated by curbs, sidewalks widened from 1.4–1.7 metres to a 2.1-metre standard, new centre medians from Stephen Drive to Aldgate Avenue and from Aldgate to Park Lawn Road, improved transit stops and signal timing, landscaping and stormwater features, with vehicle lanes and truck and bus movement maintained.
The status is the part that matters. The project is in detailed design, and the City’s own page states: “The construction start for the Queensway Complete Street elements is anticipated for 2027,” because bridge repairs and traffic impacts were prioritised. That is five years from Council approval to the start of construction.
One more thing worth knowing. Item 2025.IE26.6, the Cycling Network Plan — 2025 Fourth Quarter Update, adopted by City Council on 16 and 17 December 2025 and authorising 20.5 centreline kilometres of new bikeways, does not mention The Queensway project at all — not its status, its timing or a deferral. That is not proof of anything. It is a reason to treat 2027 as a plan rather than a date.
5The Gardiner work you are living through is the warm-up
Gardiner Expressway Section 3 runs Highway 427 to the Humber River, 6.5 kilometres of at-grade expressway along the southern edge of this area. Early works cover five bridges, three of them on the doorstep: the Park Lawn Road overpass, the Mimico Creek overpass, and the westbound on-ramp from Park Lawn Road over Mimico Creek.
| Works | Dates | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Park Lawn Road westbound on-ramp | August 2026 – December 2026 | Closed to traffic |
| Islington Avenue over the Gardiner | 7 April 2025 – December 2026 | Three lanes reduced to two each direction |
| Kipling Avenue over the Gardiner | 5 May 2025 – December 2026 | Three lanes reduced to two each direction |
| Park Lawn Road under the Gardiner | Approximately four months, dates to be determined | Single-lane reductions, three lanes maintained |
| Full Section 3 rehabilitation | Scheduled to start as soon as 2027 | Not yet begun |
Early works began in spring 2025. In April 2026 the City closed the Gardiner entirely between the Humber River and Spadina from 24 to 27 April for Section 2 paving, with overnight restrictions through to 1 May.
Roadwork is temporary and I would never tell anyone to avoid a neighbourhood because of it. But the Park Lawn westbound ramp is closed right now, the lane reductions run to December 2026, and the City’s own page says the main rehabilitation starts “as soon as 2027.” Budget your commute on the current conditions, not the ones in the listing photos.
6No subway touches this corridor, and the bus runs every 25 minutes at midday
The 80 Queensway bus runs from Royal York Station to Sherway. Here are its scheduled headways from the TTC’s own service summary for the 4 January to 7 February 2026 board period:
| Period | 80 Queensway | 66 Prince Edward | 76 Royal York South |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekday a.m. peak | 14 min | 6–14 min | 4–10 min |
| Weekday midday | 25 min | 13–14 min | 8–10 min |
| Weekday p.m. peak | 15 min | 6–14 min | 4–10 min |
| Late evening | 25 min | 13–14 min | 8–10 min |
| Weekend | 20–26 min | — | — |
A 25-minute midday headway on the corridor’s only route, against 13 to 14 minutes on the 66 and 8 to 10 on the 76, is a real difference in how the street works. There is no subway station on The Queensway or in Stonegate-Queensway; Line 2 runs along Bloor Street to the north, and the 80 connects to it at Royal York.
Streetcar service through here has also changed. Effective 7 June 2026, for track renewal at Long Branch Loop, the 507 Long Branch streetcar is suspended and replaced by a 507 bus running via Lake Shore Boulevard West, Park Lawn Road and The Queensway every 10 minutes. The 508 Lake Shore streetcar is suspended for the summer, the 501C is suspended, and a new 301L overnight bus runs between Long Branch and Dufferin Gate. The Long Branch Loop project runs from June 2024 to late 2026.
If transit matters to you, measure the actual walk to Royal York or Islington station on the day you view, at the hour you would travel. Do not take “steps to transit” from a listing at face value on a route with a 25-minute midday gap.
7Park Lawn GO is approved on paper and paused in practice
This is the most oversold fact at the eastern end of the corridor, and the correction comes from the City, not from me.
The current position is set out in a City staff report titled Humber Bay Shores, Christie’s Redevelopment and Park Lawn GO Station, dated 27 May 2026, to the Planning and Housing Committee. In its own words:
- The station “was set to be delivered through the Metrolinx Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) program in partnership with Lakeshore Developments Inc.” — note the past tense.
- The applicant has paused the development application.
- The implementing Section 37 community benefits agreement “has not been signed by the owner of the site.”
- “Street A”, a new public street, must be delivered with or in advance of the station to enable access.
- The recommendation is that Council receive the report for information, and there are “no financial implications.”
The Christie Lands Secondary Plan was adopted by Council in July 2022 under By-law 1100-2022, with zoning under By-law 1101-2022. The Section 37 package tied to it would deliver renovations to the Mimico-Centennial Library branch, park improvements, public art, two childcare centres, a community agency space, a public library, a community recreation centre and affordable housing. That agreement is unsigned.
There is an approved planning framework and a paused proponent. Those are not the same thing. If a price is being justified to you on the basis of a future GO station, ask which document commits to building it — and note that no construction start date, completion date or funding figure appears anywhere in the City’s report.
8The City refused to convert these employment lands. The applications came anyway
The South Etobicoke Area of Employment is, in City Planning’s words, “the second largest concentration of land designated Employment Areas in Toronto,” with more than 1,800 businesses and 44,000 jobs — an increase of 5,000 jobs since 2021. In 2023 staff described the same area as accommodating over 39,000 jobs, anchored by the Ontario Food Terminal.
In the 2023 Our Plan Toronto conversion review, staff recommended refusal of three conversion requests in Ward 3, all on the basis that the lands should be retained as Employment Areas:
| Request | Site | 2023 staff recommendation | What happened next |
|---|---|---|---|
| 022 | 125 The Queensway | Refuse conversion | Live application to redesignate a 3.45-hectare site from General Employment Areas to Mixed Use Areas; staff recommended the City Solicitor attend the Ontario Land Tribunal in opposition, January 2026 |
| 031 | 1543–1551 The Queensway and 66–76 Fordhouse Blvd | Refuse conversion | Application filed for four buildings of 30, 35, 40 and 45 storeys, 1,819 units, 342 of them affordable; notice dated 14 February 2025 |
| 014 | 871 Islington Avenue | Refuse conversion | — |
This is the real fight on The Queensway and it decides what the street becomes. If you are buying a condominium here, the employment land beside you is not a placeholder for future towers — it is land the City has said, in writing, it intends to keep as employment. Sometimes that holds and sometimes the Tribunal decides otherwise. Either way, do not price a site on the assumption that the block next door converts.
9One approved site here carries a Class 4 Noise Area designation
At 829 The Queensway, City Council approved a 15-storey mixed-use building, 52 metres including the mechanical penthouse, approximately 332 dwelling units and a minimum 590 m² of non-residential space — Etobicoke York Community Council on 6 January 2026, City Council on 4 February 2026, “without amendments and without debate.”
Two conditions attached to that approval are worth knowing about:
- The City Solicitor must withhold enactment of the bills until Ontario Land Tribunal Appeal No. 1 (OLT-25-000221), concerning Official Plan Amendment 778, is withdrawn or fully resolved. An approved building is not a built building, and here it is not even an enacted by-law.
- The lands were designated a Class 4 Noise Area under provincial environmental guidelines.
A Class 4 designation permits higher noise limits at a new noise-sensitive development next to a stationary noise source, and requires warning clauses on title and mandatory acoustic features in the building.
That is a formal, citable acknowledgement that the noise environment on this corridor is treated as exceptional. If you are buying new construction on The Queensway, ask whether the site carries a Class 4 designation and ask to see the warning clause before you sign, not on closing day.
10If you do not file a Vacant Home Tax declaration, the City deems your unit vacant
| Rule | What the City states |
|---|---|
| Rate | 3 per cent of Current Value Assessment, from the 2024 taxation year |
| Definition of vacant | Unoccupied for six months or more during the taxation year |
| No declaration filed | The property is deemed vacant |
| Declaration | Annual, and required from every residential property owner |
| 2025 tax year payment dates | 15 September, 15 October and 16 November 2026, in three instalments |
| False declaration or failure to provide information | Fine of up to $10,000, in addition to the tax |
Exemptions exist and are specific: death of the registered owner (up to three consecutive years), the principal resident being in care (up to two years), major repairs or renovations with permits, a legal transfer of ownership during the year, and a court order prohibiting occupancy.
Now put that beside two other numbers. MPAC’s valuation date is still 1 January 2016 — the Ontario government filed a regulation on 16 August 2023 extending the postponement, and MPAC states that assessments for the 2026 tax year continue to be based on fully phased-in 1 January 2016 values. Meanwhile the Toronto Municipal Land Transfer Tax gained new graduated brackets effective 1 April 2026, running to 8.60 per cent above $20 million.
So the Vacant Home Tax charges 3 per cent of a decade-old assessed value, while the land transfer tax charges up to 8.60 per cent of today’s market price. The two sit on opposite sides of a frozen valuation. The trap is simpler than either: you do not have to leave your unit empty to be taxed. You only have to forget to file.
Three more, because they come up every week
The school boundaries here are already scheduled to change. The TDSB’s Long-Term Program and Accommodation Strategy 2022–2031 directs staff to “explore a review of the junior and middle school boundaries of Norseman JMS, Park Lawn JMS and Sunnylea Jr. PS, specifically the divided junior attendance area of Sunnylea Jr. PS” — listed as a 2027-28 boundary change study. The same document records an emerging capital priority to submit a business case for “a new elementary school within the podium of a mixed-use development within the Christie Lands Secondary Plan area.” If catchment matters to you, check your address on the board’s own tool on the day you write the offer, and know a review is coming.
Stonegate-Queensway does not look like the rest of Toronto, statistically. On the City’s 2016 neighbourhood profile it recorded a population of 25,051, 56 per cent single-detached housing against 27 per cent in apartments of five storeys or more, 65 per cent owner-occupied, a median household income of $82,859 against $65,829 city-wide, and a visible-minority share of 18 per cent against a city average of 51 per cent. That last figure is the most striking contrast in the profile. It is also a neighbourhood the City has not designated a Neighbourhood Improvement Area — Stonegate-Queensway does not appear among the 31 NIAs.
Mimico Creek is 89 per cent urbanised and barely controlled. TRCA puts the Mimico Creek watershed at roughly 7,700 hectares, about 89 per cent urban land use as of 2020, with three flood-vulnerable clusters in the watershed — Malton, Dundas West and South Mimico — and only about 10 per cent of developed areas carrying erosion controls. I could not confirm from a primary source whether the Stonegate residential pocket sits inside a TRCA regulated area, so I am not telling you that it does. The regulated-area and floodplain layers are on TRCA’s open data portal and I will check a specific address for you before you waive conditions.
What this list is not
It is not an argument against buying here. My brokerage is at 799 The Queensway; I chose this street. The corridor has genuine advantages — it is one of the last places in the old city where you can still buy a detached house on a real lot within a short drive of downtown, the employment base beside it is the second largest in Toronto, and the new mid-rise stock is being built to a far better standard than what came before it.
The point is that every one of the ten items above is knowable before you sign. Most buyers find out afterwards. That is the entire difference between working with someone who has read the Avenue Study and working with someone who has read the listing.
Thinking about a specific building or block on The Queensway?
A corridor list is the right frame for understanding a street and the wrong frame for a decision. What a unit or a house is worth here depends on which side of the road it is on, what is designated behind it, whether the block is employment land, and what has actually sold nearby. Send me the address and I will give you the comparable sales that apply to it, the live applications on that block, and a straight answer on whether to move now or wait.

Frequently asked questions
What height is actually permitted on The Queensway?
As of right, six storeys. Sites zoned Limited Commercial – Avenues Zone under the former Etobicoke by-law permit a maximum height of 21 metres and a maximum Floor Space Index of 3.0 times the lot area, implementing the Queensway Avenue Study adopted by Council in June 2003 through Zoning By-law 514-2003. Anything taller requires a rezoning. Council has approved substantially taller – up to 46 storeys at 1025 The Queensway.
When will the Queensway bike lanes be built?
City Council approved the Queensway Complete Street on 6 and 7 April 2022. The City’s own project page states the project is in detailed design and that construction is anticipated for 2027, because bridge repairs and traffic impacts were prioritised. The project was not mentioned in the Cycling Network Plan fourth quarter update adopted by Council in December 2025.
Is the Ontario Food Terminal open to the public?
No. It is a wholesale market operated by a provincial agency under the Ontario Food Terminal Act and is not open to the public. Businesses in the food or horticultural industries must register as buyers. It occupies 40 acres at 165 The Queensway, has operated since 1954, has 21 warehouse tenants and about 400 farmers’ market tenants, over 5,000 registered buyers, and an estimated one million vehicle entries a year. Weekday hours are 3:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Does the sewage treatment plant on The Queensway smell?
The Humber Treatment Plant at 130 The Queensway is a 41-hectare facility operating since 1960, treating up to 473 million litres a day for about 662,000 people. The City states it has invested more than $60 million in odour reduction since 2008, including two biofilters and three activated carbon units, and has about $15 million planned for 2027 to 2031 to upgrade odour control equipment and replace filter media.
Is there a subway station on The Queensway?
No. Line 2 runs along Bloor Street to the north, and the 80 Queensway bus connects to it at Royal York Station. On the TTC’s service summary for the January 2026 board period the 80 Queensway runs every 25 minutes at midday and in late evening, against 13 to 14 minutes on the 66 Prince Edward and 8 to 10 minutes on the 76 Royal York South.
Is the Park Lawn GO station actually being built?
Not as of the City’s own report dated 27 May 2026. That report states the station was set to be delivered through Metrolinx’s Transit Oriented Communities programme with Lakeshore Developments Inc., that the development application has been paused by the applicant, and that the Section 37 community benefits agreement has not been signed. No construction start date, completion date or funding figure appears in the report.
What is happening with the employment lands on The Queensway?
The South Etobicoke Area of Employment is described by City Planning as the second largest concentration of designated Employment Areas in Toronto, with more than 1,800 businesses and 44,000 jobs, up 5,000 since 2021. In the 2023 Our Plan Toronto conversion review, staff recommended refusing three Ward 3 conversion requests, including 125 The Queensway and 1543 to 1551 The Queensway. Both sites now have live applications, and in January 2026 staff recommended the City Solicitor attend the Ontario Land Tribunal in opposition to the 125 The Queensway application.
What is a Class 4 Noise Area and why does it matter here?
It is a provincial designation that permits higher noise limits at a new noise-sensitive development located next to a stationary noise source, in exchange for warning clauses on title and mandatory acoustic features in the building. The lands at 829 The Queensway were designated Class 4 as a condition of Council’s approval in February 2026. If you are buying new construction on this corridor, ask whether the site carries that designation and ask to see the warning clause before you sign.
Are school boundaries changing in Stonegate-Queensway?
A review is scheduled. The TDSB’s Long-Term Program and Accommodation Strategy 2022 to 2031 lists a 2027-28 boundary change study to explore the junior and middle school boundaries of Norseman Junior Middle School, Park Lawn Junior Middle School and Sunnylea Junior Public School, specifically the divided junior attendance area at Sunnylea. Check your address on the board’s own tool on the day you write an offer.
Will I pay the Toronto land transfer tax on The Queensway?
Yes. The Queensway is in Toronto, so both the provincial land transfer tax and the Toronto Municipal Land Transfer Tax apply. New graduated MLTT rates for properties containing one or two single-family residences took effect on 1 April 2026, rising to 4.40 per cent above $3 million and 8.60 per cent above $20 million. Crossing Etobicoke Creek into Peel Region removes the municipal tax entirely, because Peel cannot levy one.

About the author — Jatin Dua, Etobicoke and Toronto real estate expert
I am the Broker of Record and co-founder of RE/MAX Quantum Realty at 799 The Queensway in Etobicoke, with more than $100 million in GTA sales volume. My office is on the street this page is about. I write these pages the same way I work a file: read the primary source, quote it, date it, and say plainly where the source is silent or where two documents disagree. If a figure on this page has no citation beside it, that is a mistake and I want to hear about it.
I work with buyers, sellers, renters and investors across The Queensway, Stonegate-Queensway, Mimico, Humber Bay Shores, New Toronto, Long Branch, Alderwood, The Kingsway and the wider west end. connect@jatindua.com or 437-987-1925.
