This bulletin illustrates how the City has developed and how it will continue to grow over time. It summarizes information from the City of Toronto s Land Use Information System II, providing an overview of all projects with any development activity between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2017. This development pipeline date is supplemented by other data sources such as CMHC, Statistics Canada and the Toronto Employment Survey. Highlights Toronto is growing with strong development prospects to bring more people and jobs into the city.

Most of that density is due to residential growth. How Does the City Grow? Introduction Toronto is Canada s most populous city, the focal point of development and growth and the heart of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). For many years now, Toronto has experienced a surge of both residential and non-residential development. This annual bulletin examines how and where the city has been growing over the past five years and how it will continue to develop in the near future. Toronto s Official Plan came into force in June 2006 and is the guide for development in the city over the next few decades. While gradual intensification occurs across the city, its central geographic theme is to direct growth to appropriate areas and away from the city s stable residential neighbourhoods and green spaces. The locations recognized as being most appropriate for residential and employment growth are those identified in the Official Plan s Urban Structure Map as Avenues, Centres and Downtown 1 as well as other areas in the city designated as Mixed Use Areas and Employment Areas 2. The Official Plan s Urban Structure Map is included in this bulletin as Map 1 on page 2. Toronto s Proposed Development Pipeline June 2018 What is the Development Pipeline? The City of Toronto s Development Pipeline consists of all development projects in the City of Toronto that have been active over the last five years. This provides a lens through which to monitor Toronto s nearterm housing supply. The current Development Pipeline consists of all of the projects for which there has been development activity over the last five years, between January 1, 2013 and Map December 1: Downtown 31, 2017. Toronto Development activity refers to progress at any stage of the approvals and development processes, including: applications submission, review, approval, Building Permit application, Building Permit issuance, construction, occupancy, and completion. The development Pipeline provides an extensive representation of development activity within the city. Previous versions of the Pipeline before 2016 are not directly comparable. Projects are categorized into three general statuses, based on the stage of development they reached between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2017. Built projects are those which became ready for occupancy and/ or were completed during the period. Active projects are those which have received at least one Planning approval but which have not yet been built. This includes projects with approved Official Plan Amendments profile TORONTO - 1

and/or Zoning By-law Amendments but for which not all Site Plans have been submitted or are approved. This status includes projects with some Planning approvals and for which Building Permits have been applied for or have been issued. This status also includes projects which are under construction but are not yet built. Projects under review are those which have not yet been approved or refused and those which are under appeal. The Development Pipeline Prior to 2016 Prior to 2016, previous issues of this bulletin reported on all applications received within a five year period rather than all applications active within a five-year period. While the previous iteration of the Pipeline provided an overview of the nearterm housing supply and a consistent window through which to view the ebb and flow of the number of proposals submitted over time, as the nature of development in the city has evolved over time, the five-year window of applications received no longer provided a complete picture of development activity in the city. Over the last several years, there have been fewer projects submitted for approval. However, on average, Table 1: Proposed Projects in the City of Toronto by Status Under Total in Built Active Review Pipeline City of Toronto 965 780 662 2,407 these projects are larger or more complex and which take longer to progress through the application review process and to complete construction given their size and complexity. Consequently, in 2016, the development Pipeline was enhanced to provide a more fulsome representation of near-term housing supply in the City. % of Total Growth Areas Downtown and Central Waterfront 165 161 135 461 19.2 Centres 28 31 36 95 3.9 Etobicoke Centre 7 7 7 21 22.1 North York Centre 11 9 10 30 31.6 Scarborough Centre 3 3 3 9 9.5 Yonge-Eglinton Centre 7 12 16 35 36.8 Avenues 186 169 186 541 22.5 Other Mixed Use Areas 79 80 57 216 9.0 All Other Areas 507 339 248 1,094 45.5 Source: City of Toronto, City Planning: Land Use Information System II Table 2: Proposed Residential Units in City of Toronto by Status Under Total in Built Active Review Pipeline City of Toronto 86,441 143,858 146,181 376,480 Development projects with activity between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2017.

Gross floor area values are expressed in square metres. of applications for larger projects proposing more development than average over previous years as well as revisions to older projects that have increased their size (see Figure 1). 3 In addition, data maintenance has been enhanced. Complex projects have been split into phases so that the different parts of a project can be tracked at different stages of development once each phase has been submitted. This has enabled each phase to be reflected in the Pipeline until that phase is either built or becomes inactive. Over the last five years, more residential units have been approved than were built (see Table 4 on page 5. City Council has approved an average of 20,851 residential units per year between 2013 and 2017 while 18,598 units on average were built each year. This will help to ensure that a steady supply of approved housing will be available for construction and eventual occupancy. Despite the fact that not all proposed projects are approved, and not all approved projects are built, the Pipeline provides a good indication of near-term housing supply. Projects Completed or Under Construction The Pipeline includes development projects that may expect to see Figure 1: Proposed Units and GFA per Project by Submission Year 400 30,000 Average Number of Units per Residential Project 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 Average GFA (sqm) per Project - 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Submission Year 0 Average Number of Units per Residential Project Average GFA per Project Source: City of Toronto, City Planning Division: Land Use Information System II Development projects submitted between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2017 and with activity between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2017.

Units in development projects with activity between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2017. Units approved are units in projects that received their first planning approval in the year listed. Units built are units in projects that became ready for occupancy and/or were completed in the year listed. Note: the number of units built in Table 2 may differ from the number of units in built projects listed in Table 4, as some projects became ready for occupancy before 2013 but had other development activity (such as an application for a Draft Plan of Condominium) during the pipeline window of January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2017. These figures are different than those in Tables 6 and 7 because units in the planning process are recognized as completed when the building is ready for occupancy or substantially complete, whereas CMHC recognizes units as built once the building is fully complete. construction in the near-term. Many projects with development activity between 2013 and 2017 have become occupied and/or have completed construction during this period. In the current Pipeline, 40% of the projects in the pipeline or 965 proposed projects have completed construction or received a partial occupancy permit. These projects represent an addition of 86,441 newly constructed residential units to the City s housing supply and nearly 2.6 million m 2 of non-residential gross floor area. While many projects have been completed, the City of Toronto has continued to receive and review additional development applications. Active Projects At any given time, there are active residential projects at different stages of development from an initial approval to the beginning of construction. Table 5 shows all proposed residential units in active projects broken down by the stage of activity. These residential projects that are approved but not yet built and represent 8 to 12 years of proposed housing supply, given the average pace of completions reported by the CMHC over the past 10 to 30 years respectively (see Table 6). In the current Pipeline, 34% of projects are active with at least one Planning approval, accounting for 143,858 residential units and 3.6 million m 2 of non-residential GFA. Projects Under Review In the current Pipeline, there are 146,181 residential units and an additional 4.1 million m 2 of nonresidential GFA in projects currently Table 5: Proposed Residential Units in Active Projects by Stage Stage as of December 31, 2017 Proposed Residential Units in Active Projects Active Residential Projects Stage Stage Description Number Percent Number Percent 2 Delegated/Council Approval* 51,486 36% 185 40% 3 Permit Application 40,859 28% 130 28% 4 Issuance of a Permit 5,807 4% 22 5% 5 Work Started 45,706 32% 127 27% Total 143,858 100% 464 100% Source: City of Toronto, City Planning: Land Use Information System II Active development projects with activity between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2017.

Figure 2 (on Page 6) displays these units by status, showing that 39% of the proposed residential units are currently under review. Across the city, more than threequarters of the residential units and non-residential GFA proposed in the development Pipeline are not yet built. There are 290,039 units and 7.7 million m 2 of non-residential GFA that are either under review or awaiting construction, indicating a continuation of strong construction activity in Toronto in the coming years. Dwelling Unit Completions and Absorptions There is an ongoing debate about conditions in the housing market. Given the large number of residential units recently completed in the city, it is fair to ask whether this reflects growing housing demand or the early signs of an overbuilt market. Along with their Starts and Completions Survey, CMHC also conducts a Market Absorption Survey to determine when residential units are sold or rented once a structure has been constructed. Table 7 compares the number of completions and absorptions in Toronto over the last 15 years. The average percentage of unabsorbed units has decreased 2008 2012 to 4.2% from 7.4% over 2013-2017. In 2012, about 13,500 residential units were completed and 12,000 units were absorbed, making the unabsorbed percentage in 2012 (12.2%) the highest in the 15-year span. The lag in absorption disappeared in the following year as the 2013 unabsorbed percentage came back down to 4.9% and is closer to the average over the past 15 years. Over the last two years, the number of units absorbed was greater than the number completed. This indicates that some units that completed construction in previous years were absorbed into the market in 2015 and 2016.

Supply and demand are well balanced. The Market Absorption Survey demonstrates that the bulk of the unabsorbed units are in the rental market. Rental completions represented 6% of total completions, but only 4% of total absorptions. The higher rate of unabsorbed rental units is not the result of oversupply of this type of unit. The methodology of the Market Absorption Survey requires that buildings must be 100% completed and that people are beginning to move in before the units become counted as absorbed. The recording of absorptions will tend to Figure 2: Residential Units by Status Units in Projects Under Review 39% Units in Built Projects 23% Units in Active Projects 38% Source: City of Toronto, City Planning : Land Use Information System Proposed units in development projects with activity between January 1, 2013 became ready for occupancy and/or were completed.

Therefore, the data on absorptions and completions needs to be cautiously interpreted. Development in Toronto s Growth Areas Toronto s Official Plan, which came into force in June 2006, is the guide for development in the city over the next few decades. Its central geographic theme is to direct growth to appropriate areas and away from the city s stable residential neighbourhoods and green spaces. The locations recognized as being most appropriate for residential and employment growth are those identified in the Official Plan s Urban Structure Map as Avenues, Centres, Downtown, 1 as well as other areas in the city designated as Mixed Use Areas and Employment Areas. 2 The Official Plan s Urban Structure Map is included in this bulletin as Map 1 on page 2.

Downtown and Central Waterfront The Downtown and Central Waterfront area is the most prominent location for development activity across the City and contains the largest percentage of proposed development of all the City s growth management areas. In the current development Pipeline, the projects received in this area proposed 140,116 new units and 4.1 million m 2 of non-residential GFA. This comprises 37% of the residential units and 40% non-residential GFA proposed in the entire city (see Figures 3 and 4). Maps 4 and 5 (on pages 10 and 11) show the distribution of residential and non-residential projects throughout Downtown, respectively. Map 4 shows that the area between Queen Street and the Waterfront has attracted increasingly large residential development proposals. The largest residential projects in this area are currently active. The proposed residential units in Downtown projects proposing 1,000 units or more are listed in Table 8. Two of the largest projects in Downtown are large affordable housing redevelopment projects on both sides of Dundas Street (see Images 1 and 2 on page 9). Publicprivate partnerships in Regent Park and Alexandra Park are developing new market housing to leverage improvements to existing social housing stock and to create new retail developments, community spaces and infrastructure. The results will be more mixed-income, mixed-use neighbourhoods that better integrate with the surrounding communities.
