Flemingdon Park Apartments
10 St. Dennis Drive
This heritage-listed apartment building is a classic example of the many Modernist style buildings that are found throughout the Flemingdon Park neighbourhood. Constructed in 1962, it was part of a master planned community intended to house 14,000 people with rental buildings, commercial districts, and transit amenities. It was the first privately developed apartment neighbourhood in North America, with most of the residential buildings featuring the open green spaces and long pedestrian walkways that soon became the hallmark of many other Modernist developments across the continent. Today the towers of Flemingdon Park contain one of the most multicultural populations in the city - over 60% of whom are immigrants - with over 100 ethnicities represented and 80 languages spoken amongst its 20,000 residents.

The Foresters House
789-793 Don Mills Road
This heritage-designated 22-storey office tower complex was constructed between 1965-1967, and is an excellent example of Late Modern style. It was designed by Kaljo Voore, one of several Estonian-Canadian architects who immigrated to Canada after the Second World War. Voore also designed other high profile projects such as the Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls and Scarborough Centerary Hospital, and master planned the Scarborough Town Centre. Architectural features include a raised plaza, double-storey, fully-glazed ground floor, and landscaped setbacks. The building is among the most prominent and visible Modernist structures found throughout Flemingdon Park, which went from being a sleepy rural area to a busy urban neighbourhood in the space of 20 years in the mid twentieth century.

Ferrand Drive Park
251 Ferrand Drive
Ferrand Drive Park is a small, sheltered green space with a children's playground and gazebo for public use.

Toronto Public Library - Flemingdon Park Branch
29 St Dennis Drive
Situated in the heart of the Flemingdon Park neighbourhood, the Toronto Public Library's Flemingdon Park Branch is a community hub offering services such as the library catalogue, electronic equipment, and meeting rooms. The building was designed by Bregman and Hamann Architects and was completed in 1981. It was refurbished in 1997 by Makrimichalos Cugini Architects, and now features a youth hub. The branch is also home to the Dennis R. Timbrell Resource Centre, with community facilities such as an auditorium, computer room, gymnasium, weights room, swimming pool, licensed day care onsite, and all-ages public programming, especially youth-specific programs.
