Official City of Vaughan Planning Area

Block 41 Vaughan — Master-Planned Community

Block 41 is the City of Vaughan's officially approved 428-hectare New Community Area in North Vaughan, bounded by Kirby Rd, Weston Rd, Teston Rd and Pine Valley Dr — now coming to market as Bridgelands, with public builder releases in Fall 2026.

Planning designation: Block 41 / OPA 50
Total area: ~428 hectares
Location: North Vaughan, Ontario
Launch: Fall 2026

What Block 41 is

Block 41 is the numbered planning block the City of Vaughan uses to identify one of its last major greenfield New Community Areas. It sits in North Vaughan, bounded by four Regional roads — Kirby (north), Weston (east), Teston (south) and Pine Valley (west) — and covers roughly 428 hectares in total.

The community is being brought to market under the name Bridgelands, but every municipal, regional and provincial approval sits under the official Block 41 file — including the Block 41 Secondary Plan and Official Plan Amendment 50 (OPA 50).

Fully approved by the City, Region and Ontario Land Tribunal

Block 41 isn't a rezoning hopeful. It has moved through every layer of Ontario's planning system:

Adopted by Vaughan City Council — October 7, 2019
Approved by York Region — January 30, 2020
Approved by the Ontario Land Tribunal as OPA 50 — August 18, 2021
Governed by Ontario Regulation 644/20 across ~178 ha (~440 acres) of the plan area

What's permitted inside Block 41

The Block 41 Secondary Plan permits a complete, walkable community — not just housing. The permitted uses include:

Low-rise residential — freehold townhomes, semis and detached homes
Low-rise mixed-use — small-scale retail with residential above
Mid-rise residential — future condo and rental potential
Mid-rise mixed-use — a walkable community core with retail at grade
Schools, parks, trails, a community centre and a library

First releases: freehold towns and detached homes

Public builder releases inside Block 41 are scheduled for Fall 2026 and will focus first on the low-rise residential zones — freehold townhomes and detached homes, from the $800,000s CAD. Multiple GTA builders — Arista Homes, Deco Homes, Opus Homes and Fieldgate Homes — are participating.

VIP registration at bridgelandsvaughan.ca gives you first access to floor plans, pricing and incentives from each builder as their release opens.

Why Block 41 matters for buyers

Vaughan has very little greenfield land left inside its urban boundary that isn't already committed to intensification or the Greenbelt. Block 41 is one of the last chances to buy a brand-new freehold home in a fully master-planned Vaughan community at builder's first-release pricing — with the paper trail (OPA 50 + O. Reg. 644/20) to back it up.
