No matter where you want to go, what you want to do or how you want to live, Express is the perfect central location to call home. Located on Tippett Road, minutes from the Wilson Subway Station, a short drive from major highways and with a plan that promotes connectivity and easy living both indoor and outdoor, Express has been designed to embrace the future. And with the wave of development that is sweeping through the North York-Yorkdale neighbourhood - interconnected communities, new retail, expansion of transit networks, and the redevelopment of Downsview Park - the future looks bright at Express.

The rejuvenation of this neighbourhood began with Malibu’s first project Gramercy Park. Gramercy Park is a beautifully designed building surrounding a half acre private park at 525 Wilson Ave. Southside Condominiums, located just south of Gramercy Park, is now under construction and boasts two towers of 15 and 17 storeys with a private courtyard and rooftop pool.
Following the success of both Gramercy Park and Southside, Express aims to deliver an equally thrilling living experience. With its proximity to transit, great suite designs, and a host of amazing amenities, it is the next great chapter in the development of Malibu’s Yorkdale neighbourhood.

Architecturally compatible in design and scale, Express complements the other Malibu developments, Gramercy Park and Southside Condos. With unique suite designs, reimagined amenities and services, it offers the best of the best. Express promises great value in a rapidly evolving central neighbourhood. Close to shops and restaurants, Yorkdale Mall and major intersections such as Hwy 401 and Allen Road.
EXPRESS IS THE NEXT GREAT PHASE OF MALIBU’S EARLIER SUCCESSES IN THE YORKDALE COMMUNITY.
EXPRESSDETAILS
Environics, 2016
EXPRESS WILL BE THE NEXT STEP IN CREATING A COMPLETE COMMUNITY ALONG TIPPETT ROAD.
An integral part of the link that connects the community, Wilson Subway station, and the new public park that is the centre of this neighbourhood, Express has been designed to complement its neighbours, Grammercy Park and Southside. In keeping with the existing context, Express will have a simply framed brick and stone base which will anchor the new tower. To create on engaging streetscape, the base will feature appropriately scaled modules and series of bay windows or tall frames. These architectural details will animate the facade and individuate the building. The tower will look over the green roofs of the podium and the city to the south, while an intimate landscaped courtyard on the south side will give residents a quiet place to escape.
Overlooking the generous courtyard with seating and barbecue areas, the building’s extensive amenities also include the 7th floor landscaped terrace with sun loungers and mist zone for all residents to enjoy. And a new private road and attractively landscaped paths throughout the neighbourhood will allow more potential routes for residents to get to the park or the Wilson Subway Station.

One of the most important things that sets Express apart is its proximity to transit. In fact, the project was named because of its prime location. Just steps from the Wilson Subway Station on the University Line and a quick drive from Highways 401 and 400.

A CHANGING LANDSCAPE
The Tippett/Wilson area is identified as one of 7 areas in the GTA for “regeneration” and is undergoing growth and transformation.
The direction of the Regeneration Plan for Tippett Road will create the following Neighbourhood Benefits and Community Value, which will effectively increase the desirability and livability of this neighbourhood:
The Finch West LRT is an 11 kilometre light rail transit line that will run along the surface of Finch Ave. to Humber College. It is proposed that there will be approximately 18 surface stops. The Finch West LRT is a $1 Billion investment from the Ontario government to expand transit in Toronto. The LRT is expected to start construction in 2017 and to open by 2022. (Metrolink,2017)
BUILD TORONTO – ACTION AND INITIATIVE Along with the neighbourhood Regeneration Study and its mandate to help improve the neighbourhood, Toronto’s very own robust city-owned development corporation, BUILD Toronto, is helping further improve the neighbourhood and remain consistent with their mandate, “Agenda for Prosperity”. Two neighbouring parcels of land currently held by BUILD Toronto: 75 Billy Bishop Way and 50 Wilson Heights Blvd. are slated for change.

NOW OPEN – TORONTO’S NEWEST SUBWAY LINEToronto-York Spadina Subway Extension - The six-station underground subway extension from Downsview Station to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre replaces the shuttle bus connection from Downsview Station to York University that carries a daily average of 20,200 riders. It will be the first subway line to cross a municipal boundary in the region and will support significant new development. The subway will connect to other municipal rapid transit lines, such as Brampton’s Züm, York Region’s vivaNext YRT, and regional GO bus service at the Highway 407 station. It is the longest extension to the Toronto subway network in almost 40 years.
The project’s proximity to parks offers residents the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors in all seasons.
Downsview Park, a former military base located in the centre of the Greater Toronto Area, is approximately 231.5 hectares (572 acres) of land that sits on one of the highest elevations in the City of Toronto. Currently, more than half of the site is a mix of public parkland, commercial uses and community services offering a diverse range of public activities and programs, with the remainder of the site anticipated for eventual redevelopment.
Earmarked by the federal government as a National Urban Park, there’s an ambitious redevelopment plan in place for the park and the surrounding neighbourhoods. From building interconnected communities, to dynamic public transit, walking and cycling networks, to reimagining the parkland, these park-centred developments will create innovative live, work, learn and play spaces. In fact, this plan is one of the region’s most exciting community-building initiatives.
Minutes away from Earl Bales Park, the City’s third largest park, residents can enjoy the wonders of every season. From skiing, sliding and snowboarding on Toronto’s largest hill, to splashing, cycling, and watching movies under a blanket of stars, the park offers many seasonal recreational options. Also, at Earl Bales Park, supervised day camp programs exist for children from 4 to 10 years old. Arts and crafts, music, drama, nature hikes, swimming and so much more. 162 acres of awesome activities.
