pre-construction

The proposed development envisions the demolition of three existing buildings, and the redevelopment of the lands with an 8-storey mixed-use building, with a partial mezzanine floor located between the main and second levels. The proposed building would have a height of 27 m (30 m to the top of the mechanical penthouse) at the Bloor Street frontage and terrace down to the lower density lands to the south. Retail, service and office uses would be located on the first and mezzanine levels of the building, with residential uses above. The lands have an area of 1,560 m2. The building would have 83 dwelling units (9-bachelor, 56 one-bedroom, and 18 two- bedroom units), of which 19 dwelling units (7 bachelor, 11 one-bedroom, and 1 two- bedroom units) are proposed to be replacement rental units. The building would contain 1,200 m2 of retail, office and service space, and 166 m2 of both indoor and outdoor amenity area to serve the building residents. A total of 86 bicycle parking spaces and 124 vehicular parking spaces are proposed, in 4 below-grade parking levels to serve the development. Access to parking and service areas would be via a driveway behind the building from Durie Street (see Attachment 1 – Site Plan and Attachment 2 - Elevations). The total floor area for the building would be approximately 6,675 m2, representing a Floor Space Index of approximately 4.3 times the area of the lot (see Attachment 5 – Application Data Sheet). The applicant has proposed to replace the 19 existing units in the new development at similar rents. All units will offer Affordable and Mid-range rents.
