The design competition organisers have reached the end of their Request for Expressions of Interest stage and have shortlisted five teams to take part in a closed RFP:
- CCxA
- Field Operations
- Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates (MVVA) Inc.
- Sasaki
- SLA
This site was formerly home to the historic Downsview Airport, now-closed airport located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Runway at YZD Design Competition will challenge cross-disciplinary design teams to transform the historic 2-kilometer (1.3-mile) airstrip into a central feature of the future mixed-use communities planned for the expansive 370-acre site.
The winning team will be appointed in mid-2025, marking the next step in helping transform an historic airstrip into a vibrant space that reflects the power of thoughtful placemaking.
The RFEOI closed on November 22 and five shortlisted teams have been invited to take part in a closed RFP. Only one team will be awarded the final contract, and all short-listed teams will be acknowledged for their participation.
