The Villiers Island precinct (formerly referred to as Cousins Quay) will be a stunning new waterfront community that embraces its distinct industrial functions and the spectacular new parks, public spaces and ecological richness that will result from the naturalization of the mouth of the Don River.

Surrounded by water on all sides, the Villiers Island precinct will introduce a vitality to the area that honours the distinctive culture associated with waterfront districts and vibrant working ports.

What was once a vast industrial space is being redesigned and constructed from the bottom up to become one of the city's first net-zero communities and one of the first of its kind in Canada.
Covering 33.5 hectares (83 acres), this is one of the largest non-transit infrastructure projects currently afoot in North America.
Villiers Island will have a mix of medium and tall buildings and has the potential to house thousands of residents and welcome 2.5 million visitors while maintaining abundant green spaces and parks.  With room for pedestrians, bike lanes, light rail transit, and cars. Almost 3,000 people will also work on the island.

The opening of the Cherry Street North and Commissioners Street Bridges for vehicle, pedestrian, and cyclist traffic allows for the ushering of visitors into and around the future site of Villiers Island.

The Port Lands Flood Protection Project is a $1.25 billion strategy to protect 240 hectares along Toronto's Eastern waterfront.

Villiers Island is part of a larger plan to ease flooding, and send that water into flood plains and, eventually, back to Lake Ontario. New wetlands will provide support for aquatic ecosystems.
