A total of 2,628 units are under construction, which could accommodate approximately 5,203 more residents<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During peak hours, school buses and cars at the intersection of Apple Mill Road and Millway Avenue<\/a> \u2014 the heart of Vaughan\u2019s emerging downtown core \u2014 patiently wait their turns. Pedestrians, too, walk in and out of the subway station nearby, creating some buzz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom 4 to 6 p.m., this is like the most heavy traffic,\u201d said Anupam Dwijendra, a father of one child, who moved in with his family to the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre nine months ago after bidding his previous home, at a more populous and busier Toronto area, goodbye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dwijendra is one of the relatively new occupants of the completed eight condos, which currently total 3,900 units and house about 7,722 residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut usually when you come here (during non-peak hours), it’s mostly deserted,\u201d Dwijendra added. \u201cI think that\u2019s because it’s still developing, and people are still coming in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The completed condos \u2014 all occupied \u2014 are Transit City\u2019s three towers, Expo City\u2019s two towers, North Condos\u2019 two towers, and a condo called The Met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
However, more units are still under construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The developer Menkes & QuadReal is building Block 2 \u2014 also called Mobilio, which has 751 apartment units and 397 townhouses \u2014 and Block 3 \u2014 called Festival that comes with 2,470 apartment units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SmartCentres is developing Transit City \u2014 towers 4 and 5 \u2014 and a purpose-built rental building, bringing its total to 1,480 units. And, Cortel is developing CG Tower, which has 551 units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRealization of developments that are occupied, under construction and approved currently represent more than 29,100 residents in more than 14,700 units moving into the VMC,\u201d the City of Vaughan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis represents 123 per cent of the residential units and 116 per cent of the population target established for the 2031 planning horizon,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city also gave these figures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 3,900 units or approximately 7,722 residents in developments that are completed and occupied<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 2,628 units or approximately 5,203 future residents in developments that are under construction<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 8,176 units or approximately 16,188 potential future residents in developments that are approved by council<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city added there are 13,662 units or about 27,051 in potential future residents in formally-submitted development applications are in progress. Also, pre-application development proposals show 6,218 units or approximately 12,312 potential future residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the new downtown inches closer to completion, it\u2019s also adding the first Buca-branded restaurant and bar outside Toronto \u2014 at the Transit condo tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The addition is another higher-end brand, joining Balzac\u2019s coffee shop, already serving people there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dwijendra, who described Balzac\u2019s as special, said he would like to see more common brands like Tim Hortons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTim Hortons feels more like home, so they can have more of these familiar kind of stores,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Others also have pitched in with their input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt just needs to get more stores to add life here,\u201d said Adam Williams, an Egyptian student, who is visiting his sister at the VMC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anastasia Gale, who lives in an area near the new downtown, suggested the square in vicinity of the VMC subway station could showcase artwork of various artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe square over there would be perfect for public art,\u201d Gale said, adding it would be \u201clovely\u201d to showcase the work of multicultural artists given that the area is diverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last September, food trucks, an art exhibition and drive-in movie theatres gave people a taste of culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt definitely left an impression on me. I took a video I shared with my friends and everything,\u201d said Dwijendra. \u201cIf more of that could happen, that would be amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far, the Vaughan International Music Festival is planned to take place from June 10 to 12 after its soft launch last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
