The station, consisting of a single platform, building, bus loop, kiss and ride, and 998 parking spaces, 760 of which will be in a 3-level parking garage, will be located on the south side of Bloomington Road (York Regional Road 40), on the east side of the Canadian National Railway line, and west of Highway 404.[5][6][7] Land will also be reserved for a future carpool parking lot managed by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario.[6]

The station site will cost $82.4 million to develop,[2] and the multi-level parking structure and integrated station building will be built to satisfy LEED Gold certification.[8]
