North York Centre

North York Centre is the name of the district surrounding the TTC subway station of the same name.

The subway station is the second last stop on Toronto's Yonge subway line just before Finch station. It was opened in 1987 even as the subway line to Finch had opened some years before. It was built to serve the growing downtown core of the former city of North York.

Development along the Yonge corridor between Finch and Sheppard Avenues grew extensively after the opening of the subway station. Densification, in the form of condominiums primarily, occurred there, which was the final step in creating North York's downtown.
