YZD (Former Downsview Airport Lands), Toronto

A landmark of urban renewal and vast potential, the Downsview Airport Lands, known by its aviation code YZD, offers an unparalleled leasing opportunity. This expansive 370-acre site is defined by its remarkable history and its future as a vibrant, multi-faceted community. As the former home of Downsview Airport, this is a property with a legacy of flight and innovation, now being reimagined for a new era of commerce and creativity. The sheer scale of YZD presents a rare chance to establish a significant presence.

The location of YZD is simply unmatched. The site has direct and easy access to major thoroughfares, including Allen Road and Highway 401, as well as multiple TTC subway stations like Downsview Park and Sheppard West.

While the site is in a period of transformation, it is already a hub of activity and a testament to its potential. It has served as a canvas for major cultural events, including a temporary, purpose-built outdoor music venue, Rogers Stadium, which has hosted global acts like Coldplay and Oasis. A portion of the former airfield has been converted into a unique public space, creating a "Play on the Runway" area for the community to enjoy.

This active and diverse use of the space highlights the creative and forward-thinking approach to the site's development and its capacity for high-profile events and community engagement. YZD is a canvas for businesses that want to be part of a new chapter in Toronto's urban story.
