Reshaping Toronto’s Future
BloorGrove is an urban development studio based in Toronto’s West End, exploring how people first, transit oriented housing can shape the city’s future.
Exploring Mid-Rising Housing
In many Toronto neighbourhoods, high rise towers rise right across low-rise streets with no transition. BloorGrove focuses on the missing middle – housing.
A Design-Led Approach to City Growth
Bloorgrove is interested in how Toronto grows at the scale people experience every day – on the street, at the corner, and within neighbourhoods. Design is central to this process, shaping how housing, public space, and street life come together over time.
Mid-Rise Housing
Focusing on buildings that sit between low-rise neighbourhoods and high-rise development, supporting density without overwhelming local character.
Street-Level Life
Studying how active ground floors, mixed-use spaces, and building edges contribute to walkable, social streets.
Neighbourhood Context
Looking at how new architecture can respond to existing streets, materials, and rhythms rather than replacing them.
