Yonge Street North is evolving from a largely commercialized area into a more diverse neighbourhood, both in form and fabric. As of today, there are three visions for 6200 Yonge, a residential community that is a marker of the change being undergone in the neighbourhood. The number of storeys and square footage to best serve the growing population and its demands are still under consideration. For this project, city approvals for a 250,000 square foot mixed use mid-rise building is underway.

It is situated between the east and west branches of the Don River Valley, which serve to provide an attractive natural backdrop for this neighbourhood in addition to providing residents with plenty of recreational opportunities. Newtonbrook’s most famous native son is the late Lester B. Pearson who became Prime Minister of Canada in 1963 and won the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in diffusing the Suez Canal crisis. The local Lester B. Pearson school is named in his honour.
