East Bayfront, or the East Bayfront Precinct, is an emerging neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is currently undergoing a transformation from industrial use to mixed-use as part of Waterfront Toronto's plans to create a residential and commercial district urban core near the lake. The area is bordered by the Parliament Street to the east, Jarvis Street and the Jarvis Slip to the west, and the rail line and Gardiner Expressway to the north. The area is of land. The area was filled in during the 19th and 20th Century to accommodate growth of business needing access to the waterfront. ==Changing land use== The area is undergoing a transformation and will host a number of different tenants: Existing * Toronto Tours Limited - one of a few local tour operators in the area * Docking facilities for tour boats operating in the inner harbour in the east and west ends of the District * Guvernment Nightclub 1996 A number of small industrial-commercial business parks dots the area, but some are being demolished and replaced with parking lots. There are 4 privately owned public parking lots in the District. New * Water's Edge Promenade - a tree lined boardwalk from Jarvis to Sherbourne * Dockside at Corus Quay * * home to Corus Entertainment at Corus Quay * * Sugar Beach * * Sherbourne Common - a park being designed by Phillips, Farevaag, Smallenburg * * future home of George Brown College Waterfront campus opening in 2012 * Parkside - Great Gulf Group 36 floor condo project designed by Moshe Safdie * Bayside - city owned land for future residential, cultural and retail development * Quayside - future commercial and residential development * Parliament Wavedeck - mixed use public space/water treatment facility The District has been a concrete wasteland with very few trees or greenspace. The Water's Edge Promenade will provide tree line board walk to the area. Sugar Beach and the future Sherbourne Common will provide some green space. In the long term much of the area will give way to residential development and some commercial development. Remaining industrial business, including Redpath will likely relocated from the area. The area's revitalization is being managed by Waterfront Toronto, a partnership of Federal, Provincial and local governments encouraging progressive and sustainable development of the Toronto waterfront. The area includes a office and institutional zone on the dockside tract of East Bayfront. This section will consist of the nearly complete Corus Quay and the George Brown College's Health Sciences Campus. In December 2009, Waterfront Toronto revealed the first major private sector development for the district, called Parkside. The $200 million residential development project, designed by Moshe Safdie and developed by Great Gulf Group of Companies, will be located on the northeast corner of Queen's Quay East and Sherbourne, south of the Gardiner Expressway and just east of the new Sherbourne Park. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「East Bayfront」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
