The Hill Condos (925-935 Eglinton Av W w of Bathurst, BSaR, 9s, Core)

Any word on how much parking it'll have? Bathurst and Eglinton is surprisingly congested and that stretch of Eglinton west of that is terrible practically through to Keele.

From the documents I have seen, it looks like there is going to be four parking levels with the first two allocated to paid parking by Green P. Apparently based on their agreement with the city, they have to keep the parking. The other two levels will have 84 spots for the residence and they are allowing all units to buy one. Since there are 94 Units, I take it, that it is first come first purchase with the parking. There is no visitor parking.

According to CondoLife, over 50 % of the 93 units were sold in the March (month of its launch).

How the Eglinton LRT will transform neighbourhoods

Now, after decades of neglect, the Liberal MPP for Eglinton-Lawrence says the Eglinton-Scarborough Crosstown LRT, still eight years from completion, is already transforming the neighbourhood he loves to boost.

“We need more people living on Eglinton. It’s the forgotten middle of Toronto. For decades nobody ever paid attention to it. Now this gives us a chance to pay attention. This is a chance to give it some light and some investment. The transportation is really the catalyst. And it’s already happening,” said Colle, who cites the redevelopment of the 50-year-old China House restaurant at Bathurst St. into a condo that sold out in a couple of weeks.

How Eglinton looks once the Crosstown is running will depend on a two-year city planning exercise called an avenue study that begins community consultations Thursday at the Fairbank Memorial Community Centre on Dufferin St.

The $1.3 million study, which will eventually go before city council, is the first step in envisioning what Eglinton will look like after the Crosstown is built, how it will be zoned, what kind of buildings and public spaces will be encouraged.

Midrise development will likely replace some of the one- and two-storey shop fronts.

Most of the lots along the western and central portions of Eglinton are too shallow to accommodate highrises, said McPhail. But there will be exceptions.

“For instance where the Spadina subway and the Eglinton LRT are going to cross, there are two Green P parking lots, a police station with all surface parking. Maybe we could have some bigger buildings there,” he said.

“We will see some redevelopment before construction is complete. I think there’s already interest,” said the city councillor for Eglinton-Lawrence (Ward 16).

...Most development potential will be around stations, which are being built about a kilometre apart, said McPhail.

I was surprised to learn that this project had been fully approved at the Committee of Adjustments and that no appeals had been filed. Look like these guys must have benefited from the strength of the argument that the LRT's introduction basically begged for higher density. Still, this is a high end are so I am surprised that it didn't get appealed. it is a nice looking building though so I am glad that it is going forward. Does anyone know if they have anything left? This has to be a good investment for the long term I would figure? There is nothing by way of condos in the area as of yet and now that developers see that things can get approved there I am sure that a bunch are in the works.
