The future of Riverside South
The Future of Living
By 2034, Riverside South is projected to grow to over 25,000 residents, eventually reaching 50–80,000 with full build-out. The LRT station and transit-first vision will drive denser, walkable neighbourhood pockets with lasting investment upside.

🏬 2. Armstrong Plaza @ Limebank & Earl Armstrong
Summer 2025 marks the debut of Armstrong Plaza, located just across from Limebank Station https://www.urbandalecorporation.com/retail/armstrong-plaza
The campus includes ~12 retail/office units, (McDonald’s, Starbucks, Baskin-Robbins), plus local boutiques, services, fitness studios, clinics—and more.
With ground-up construction underway, this plaza is set to become Riverside South’s commercial heartbeat.
🛒 3. Limebank Centre – Major Retail Hub
Adjacent to the LRT, the 16-acre Limebank Centre (1420 Earl Armstrong Rd) is planning 213,000 sq ft of shopping space.
Anchored by a 49,000 sq ft grocery store, it’s framed to include banks, eateries, fitness and essential services—all in downtown-accessible proximity.
🌆 4. The Square – A Vibrant Town Centre in the Making
“The Square” is the visionary core around Limebank Station—envisioned as a mixed-use, pedestrian‑friendly hub with residences, offices, shops, eateries, and public plazas.
Though timelines are TBD, it’s the beating heart of future community life, merging transit, living, and leisure.
🏙 5. Riverside South Business Park & Transit-Oriented Growth
Just 1.8 km from Limebank Station, the Business Park offers commercial lots (1.5–45 acres) for offices, light industry, and creative enterprises myriversidesouth.com+1urbandalecorporation.com+1.
A newly approved Secondary Plan (June 2025) charts a massive development vision: 1,400+ homes, 9,000 jobs, a school, library, community centre, parks, and BRT connections integrating with LRT ontarioconstructionnews.com.
🏫 6. New Secondary School – Community Anchor
Funded by the OCDSB, a new Riverside South secondary school (Grades 7–12, ~1,500 students) is under construction at Spratt & Earl Armstrong, slated to open Fall 2025.
This landmark is embedded in the Armstrong Plaza/masterplan area, reinforcing the emerging town centre ecosystem.
Riverside South is transitioning from a quiet suburban enclave to a vibrant, self‑contained town centre, centered on Limebank LRT, Armstrong Plaza, and the upcoming Square. These developments—complemented by a new high school, business park, retail hub, and civic spaces—are weaving the fabric of a modern, walkable, and community‑driven urban village.
Soon, Riverside South won’t just be a place to live—it’ll be somewhere to belong, thrive, and grow.
