The Evolution of our $1.25 Billion Revamp
Toronto’s industrial waterfront is on the brink of a spectacular evolution as the Keating Channel undergoes a massive $1.25 billion transformation spearheaded by the city and Waterfront Toronto.
Concrete Channel to Parklands and Cafés
The concrete shipping walls of the past are making way for a vibrant urban oasis packed with overlapping green spaces, winding boardwalks, and lively water’s edge cafés.
The Impressive Equinox Bridge
The crown jewel of this redevelopment is the highly anticipated Equinox Bridge, currently in its foundational construction phase and slated for a mid-2028 debut—which features a striking, curvy design.
Saving a Family Business
Nestled right in the heart of this massive face-lift is a neighborhood mainstay: The Keating Channel Pub & Grill. Operating for over three decades, this beloved family-run establishment has long been famous for hosting one of the city’s largest waterside patios with expansive skyline views over the concrete canal. Soon, the concrete will fade into memory, and sprawling public boardwalks, pristine park amenities at Biidaasige Park, and front-row views of the futuristic Equinox Bridge will serve as the spectacular new draws for this legendary local restaurant.
