Why Invest in Real Estate in Innisfil ?

A small town roughly 60 km north of Toronto is set to become home to a futuristic city called the Orbit. Orbit is expected to consist of Go Station, New condos, townhouses and Single homes to accommodate the population growth.

The town of Innisfil is widely known for cottages, farms and the Lake Simcoe shoreline — but that's all going to change in the near future.

Around the area of the 6th Line and east of 20th Sideroad, at the heart of the region, Innisfil will become the perfect balance of urban living while still maintaining its natural and agricultural lands. 

Investing in reconstruction homes in Innisfil can be a good choice for many homebuyers who are priced out in expensive cities like Toronto, North York, Mississauga.

Why buy a new home in Innisfil? Are new condos and townhomes coming to Innisfil?

The construction of new condos, townhomes and single homes is expected to be commenced in the next couple of years once the proposed plan is approved and gets the green signal. This creation of new homes such as condos can be beneficial to first time home buyers who want to live on the outskirts of Toronto but connected to the city.

ORBIT - The master plan for The Orbit, drafted by PARTISANS, outlines a  proposal to establish a new city of up to 150,000 people, according to Urban Toronto.

The plan centres around a new GO Station set to be built in the area within the next few years. The station will provide faster, more accessible transit for those who live in the region, but the town of Innisfil intends to take it far beyond that. A four-tower mixed-use development would be built over top of the station, with connections from street level and through the buildings. 

Apart from being called the City of the future, the population of Innisfil is growing fast. Town is preparing for this growth by building cutting edge town planning, hence contributing to the benefit of urban living within the current community.

Building new Go Station

The Ontario government has created a ministerial zoning order (MZO) to designate land in Innisfil for the town’s future transit hub called the Orbit, which will see a new GO station surrounded by a more urban-looking community. This will help the construction of the Go Station to be expedited.

With this new GO Station on the Barrie Rail Corridor proposed for 6th Line, the town saw an opportunity to build something innovative and never-before-seen in the province. Its goal was to strike a balance between urban living to accommodate the anticipated population growth, brought upon by the new train station, while maintaining the area’s natural landscapes and agricultural uses.

The Orbit - The vision town of Innisfil

The Orbit is the Town of Innisfil's vision for a complete, cutting-edge community where our small town and rural lifestyles are enhanced by the benefits and attributes of urban living.

As per the Cortel Group, The Orbit will be built in phases and will be a mixed-use community featuring residential, commercial, institutional, educational, and community uses. The GO Train station will be the centre of the community and the first target reached, scheduled for completion in 2022. The rail line is like a “steel river” and the required setback from the tracks will be a linear parkland. Something that is normally ignored becomes an integral asset to the entire community.

One of the main objectives of this community is to be green and offer sustainability for the future. The proposed development incorporates high-density housing along with retail, office space, and other forms of residential housing. This creates a place where high-density and low-density can co-exist, offering a better solution for the town, climate and future.
