October 8, 2012, Toronto, ON—Three waterfront projects have been awarded 2012 Canadian Urban Institute Brownie awards.

July 16, 2012, Toronto, ON—Torontonians can now enjoy phase one of Underpass Park, an extraordinarily original and innovative new waterfront public park.

Underpass Park is the most extensive park to ever be built under an overpass in Canada, and the first of its kind in Toronto. Located in the West Don Lands under and around the Eastern Avenue and Richmond/Adelaide overpasses, the new park has transformed the derelict and underused space into a bright, new, neighbourhood amenity.

May 26, 2011, Toronto, ON— Waterfront Toronto together with the Governments of Canada, Ontario and the City of Toronto celebrated the official start of construction for Underpass Park, a significant milestone in the development of the West Don Lands.
