As 2025 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on a year that brought great momentum, meaningful milestones, and continued growth across our communities. While the broader market presented its challenges, this year also reminded us of the strength, resilience, and optimism that define Toronto, and the incredible people who make our work possible.
To our homeowners, partners, trades, suppliers, and community collaborators: thank you. Your trust and dedication fuel everything we do, and we’re grateful for another year of creating exceptional places to live.
With that in mind, here’s a look at some of the key moments and milestones that defined our year.
Bartley Towns: A Thriving Community in the Heart of the Golden Mile
Bartley Towns continued to flourish in 2025, with only a few remaining homes and many happy families now calling the community home. Throughout the year, we welcomed new homeowners, watched the neighbourhood grow, and saw this vibrant enclave take shape as a true cornerstone of Toronto’s Golden Mile.
The transformation of the surrounding Golden Mile district is well underway and promises even more connection and convenience for residents. The Eglinton Crosstown LRT is nearing completion, and the City’s Golden Mile Secondary Plan is reshaping Eglinton Avenue East into a lively, mixed-use corridor full of opportunity.
A standout element of this revitalization is the Golden Mile Community Innovation District, nicknamed “Communiversity” – a collaboration between the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus and Centennial College. This hub will bring education, training, and career pathways directly to the neighbourhood, enriching everyday life for the community and creating a dynamic environment for generations to come.
Queen Church: Continued Sales Momentum and Strong Construction Progress
Queen Church, our mixed-use condominium community at the iconic corner of Queen & Church, developed in partnership with Tridel, continued to see strong interest and steady sales throughout 2025.
Construction also progressed meaningfully this year. Our teams completed formwork on the P2 level of the underground structure, with foundation, drainage, and plumbing permits secured. The P1 level is nearing completion and we started preparing formwork for our Ground Floor slab, bringing us one step closer to rising above grade. Vertical construction is expected to begin in the near future. Soon, Queen Church will rise along Toronto’s skyline as one of the city’s most exciting new urban residences.
A major highlight on-site was the installation of Patrick Hunter’s vibrant “Pride Feathers” hoarding artwork. Rooted in Ojibwe tradition, the piece celebrates visibility, collaboration, and reconciliation, adding beauty, meaning, and cultural presence to this landmark downtown corner.
Those interested in following the progress can watch Queen Church come to life in real time via the live construction camera.
Looking Ahead: New Communities Coming Soon
Behind the scenes, 2025 was a year of preparation and planning as we gear up to introduce several new communities across Toronto.
From the nature-focused elegance of Bayview Woods, to the dynamic mixed-use vision at 895 Lawrence Ave East, to future landmark addresses at 750 Mt. Pleasant, 2350 Yonge Street, and 1366 Yonge Street, exciting things are on the horizon.
These upcoming projects reflect BAZIS’ commitment to inspired architecture, desirable locations, and thoughtfully designed urban living, and we look forward to unveiling more details in the year ahead.
Sharing Stories, Insights, and Inspiration All Year Long
This year, our blog and social channels continued to spotlight the best of living in Toronto, from homeowner tips and investment insights to neighbourhood guides and local events. We loved sharing stories that inspire, inform, and celebrate the communities we build.
Thank You for an Extraordinary Year
As we close out 2025, we’re filled with gratitude for the homeowners who chose us, the partners who collaborate with us, and the skilled trades and professionals who help bring our communities to life.
We look forward to an even brighter 2026 filled with new milestones, new beginnings, and new opportunities to shape Toronto’s future together.
From all of us at BAZIS, we wish you a warm and joyful holiday season and a wonderful year ahead!
