Welcome to The Orbit – Innisfil, a beautiful Town of Innisfil’s vision for a complete, cutting-edge community where small town and rural lifestyles are enhanced by the benefits and attributes of urban living. This will be developed by the renowned real-estate developer Cortel Group.

The Orbit will be a master-planned community that will house over 40 million square-feet of space while expecting to bring in 150,000 new residents and jobs. It will be located at 6th Line and 20th Sideroad south of Alcona, The Orbit will be a cutting-edge smart city with a perfect blend of Innisfil’s existing small-town charm and rural appeal, along with modern, contemporary innovation. This will be a place where residents can live, work, shop and play, all in one location.

The region around Toronto is experiencing a housing crisis. The Orbit is a response to that need as well as the reality that people have a real desire to live in communities that provide access to major economic centers while offering the peace of a rural context. The Orbit will boast a variety of homes for individuals from all walks of life and shared equity programs will be available to provide ownership opportunities for those who would normally be unable to afford it.

The Orbit is a new condo, townhouse and single family home community by Cortel Group, currently in preconstruction at 20th Sideroad & 6th Line, Innisfil. The Orbit will establish a new urban design framework for Innisfil, introducing brand new retail and office space, residential housing and so much more.

Over three development phases, The Orbit consists of a series of concentric “squircles” – a combination of squares and circles – that would ripple outwards from the transit centre. A fibre-optic network is available throughout the community, alongside a ridesharing transit system, pedestrian-first streets, and a range of public and private amenities.

The Orbit, will grow over generations to a population target of 150,000 people, creating a dynamic center of activity for visitors and residents alike, appealing to a variety of lifestyle activities that are possible and available in the area. Famed Canadian cottage country destinations, Lake Simcoe and the Muskokas, as well as Collingwood are a stone’s throw away, as is the greater Toronto Area. Offering a rural-urban, all-season experience and easy access to the city.

The population in the upcoming community will continue to expand and the Orbit allows Innisfil to grow in a way that preserves the natural landscapes and habitat by concentrating all of our future expansion into one place; the natural agricultural lands, forests, trails, habitats, historical buildings will be untouched – just as the community has always wanted.

Within the next few years, Innisfil will be home to a new GO Station transit hub – something that will provide faster, better access to regional transportation. With this in mind, our complete community is designed with how people will live, travel, interact, play and work – or Orbit – in and around it; without a doubt, this is the defining design principal of the vision.

As the first municipality to implement a ridesharing transit system, Innisfil has a history of tapping into innovation to move people; the Orbit will accelerate and evolve this system by adopting a crowd-sourced model, powered by autonomous electric vehicles, providing the world with an example of what could be the most sustainable transit model ever conceived.

1. A New Transit Hub
2. A hub for Startups and the Ecosystem to Support their Growth
