new neighbourhood
Discover new homes for sale in Toronto’s Harbourfront, a neighbourhood where the city breathes easy. Set between the sparkling skyline and the wide-open lake, Harbourfront offers an unmatched blend of calm and culture.
Before there were boardwalks or bike paths, Harbourfront was part of the lake. In the early 1900s, this land was forged from infill and industry—an engineered edge where railways met shipping lanes, and where the port bustled with ambition. Today, that spirit lives on, reimagined. Glass-clad condos now rise where grain silos once stood. Galleries and parks have replaced warehouses and wharves. Stroll through the winding paths of the Toronto Music Garden, explore the Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, or catch a festival at Harbourfront Centre. Here, the lake is never far, offering calm, clarity, and a constant sense of arrival. Empire Homes invites you to a place where industry once docked—and inspiration now lands.
In Harbourfront, Toronto’s urban culture dances with the lake’s tranquil waters. Here a morning walk along Queens Quay offers lake views that shimmer like stained glass, and pedestrian promenades guide you past galleries, cafés, and weekend markets. The 509 and 510 streetcars glide easily along the waterfront, while Union Station—just steps away—connects you to every part of the Greater Toronto Area. Catch a ferry to the Toronto Islands, cycle along the Martin Goodman Trail, or let your day drift into evening with music at the Toronto Music Garden. In Harbourfront, every moment feels like an interlude between serenity and the spectacular.
Harbourfront offers green retreats where the city’s hum gives way to the hush of the lake. Bask on the sandy shores of HTO Park and watch sailboats drift by, or stroll the boardwalk at Harbour Square Park as the skyline shimmers at your back. Paddle through the Toronto Islands’ calm lagoons, or wander the winding paths of the Toronto Music Garden, where Bach’s compositions bloom in landscape form. Summer festivals at Harbourfront Centre bring the waterfront to life, blending nature and culture in one unforgettable setting. Here, the breeze always carries more than just air—it carries a sense of calm.
Harbourfront makes movement feel effortless. The 509 and 510 streetcars glide along Queens Quay, linking you to Union Station, the Bay Street core, and everyday essentials like Loblaws. From Union, the UP Express connects you to Pearson Airport, while Billy Bishop Airport sits just minutes away—offering jet-setters easy escapes from the island runway. Wide promenades and the Martin Goodman Trail make strolling and cycling a daily pleasure. And when the city calls for a pause, the Toronto Island ferry offers a quiet crossing to green space and skyline views.
