South Core is a neighbourhood located in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The South Core occupies the eastern portions of the Railway Lands. The remodeling and restoration of Union Station and the construction of a new wave of business and condominium towers is central to this area's forecast growth.
Forecasters expect the downtown population to grow 80 per cent to 130,000 by 2031. With the financial district just to the north and the new high-rise South Core on the other side, Union is right at the centre.[1]
The area has grown rapidly in the last several years.[citation needed] Love Park (Toronto) is a new two-acres park in the area formerly site of York-Bay ramps that were removed to make room for the park.[2]
