Concord Park Place, Mixed-use skyscraper complex in North York, Ontario.
Concord Park Place is a large mixed-use residential development in North York, Ontario, made up of multiple high-rise towers along Sheppard Avenue. Alongside housing, the site also contains retail spaces, schools, and a library.
Until the 1960s the site was farmland; Canadian Tire then built a distribution facility and retail store there. In 1999 Canadian Tire moved its distribution centre to Brampton and relocated the store to Provost and Sheppard Avenue East, selling the land to Concord Adex. Demolition began in 2007, and the first phase, four buildings named Discovery and Discovery II, was completed in 2015.
The 8-acre park opened in January 2020 as Ethennonnhawahstihnen' Park; the name means "where they had a good, beautiful life" in Wendat, chosen because a Wendat archaeological site lay nearby. The community centre and library that opened in July 2023 share the same name.
The site has pedestrian paths and is close to transit stops, making it easy to get around on foot. Schools, shops, and green spaces are spread across the area so most day-to-day needs are within walking distance.
The Wendat name belongs to Ethennonnhawahstihnen' Park, opened in January 2020 on eight acres, not to the Concord Park Place complex. It means "where they had a good, beautiful life" and was chosen because a Wendat archaeological site was nearby.
