That year a new boom began in Toronto that has continued to this day An unprecedented number of new projects have been built in Toronto in 2000 Condo Life magazine listed 152 separate projects underway within the city of Toronto by 2007 the number of projects in the GTA had reached 247 This development has been concentrated in the downtown core especially in the former industrial areas just outside the central business district the largest such project is CityPlace a cluster of condo towers on former railway lands by the lake shore This $2 billion project will eventually consist of 20 different towers housing some 12,000 people. Transit-oriented developments are also common in Toronto such as at North York Centre and Sheppard East along the namesake subway line and Sheppard West along the subway line's future westward extension Commercial architecture.

Trenton Association Island Development of the Great Lakes following the end of the Last Glacial Period the first human settlers arrived in the area 11,000 to 10,500 years ago as the glaciers retreated from the area Toronto remained under glacial ice throughout the Last Glacial Period with the glacial ice retreating from the area during the Late Glacial warming period approximately 13,000 BCE Following the Last Glacial Period Toronto's waterfront shifted with the growth and later contraction of glacial Lake Iroquois the area saw its first human settlers around 9000 BCE to 8,500 BCE These settlers traversed large distances in family-sized bands sustaining themselves on caribou mammoths mastodons and smaller animals in the tundra and Boreal forest. Many of their archaeological remains lie in present-day Lake Ontario with the historic coastline of Lake Iroquois situated 20 kilometres (12 mi) south of Toronto during this period As the climate warmed in 6,000 BCE the environment of Toronto shifted to a temperate climate the Toronto waterfront also changed dramatically during this period with erosion from the Scarborough Bluffs accumulating and rising water levels from Lake Ontario creating a peninsula that would later become the Toronto Islands First Nations settlements.
