Etobicoke might make the rest of Toronto totally jealous

The site of anabandoned movie theatrewill one day be home to Etobicoke's new civic centre.

Earlier this year,Build Torontoannounced its short list of candidates in an international design competition, one of which will be tasked with bringing this new space to life.

Along with a new civic centre, this part of Etobicoke is getting a major upgrade. The site that's getting redeveloped is right by the scarySix Points intersection(around Kipling, Bloor and Dundas), which will get a new and improved alignment to improve the local cityscape.

This week, the finalists presented their design proposals and each one brings a unique vision to the project.
