The City of Toronto continues to look for innovative ways to preserve its history and provide a legacy for future generations, while making the most of this prominent part of Toronto's landscape and real estate.
In December 2009, City Council approved a two-phased plan to develop the iconic Canada Malting complex and preserve its most important heritage components as part of the waterfront's revitalization.
Phase 1
- Earlier this year, the City began phase one of its approach with the removal of a marine leg, which was once used to transport malt, to enhance access to Ireland Park, and the demolition of the germination and kiln buildings.
- Later this year, the City will continue redevelopment with the restoration of the site's dock wall to enable construction on a continuous walkway along the water's edge by Waterfront Toronto.
Phase 2
- In phase two, the City will develop a master plan to sell a portion of the site to private developers to fund parkland improvements and stabilize the 1929 and 1944 silos that have become an iconic part of Toronto's evolving waterfront.
- Future plans for its redevelopment will be considered by the newly elected Toronto City Council.
