28 BATHURST ST

Ward 19 - Tor & E.York OPA / Rezoning

Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning to permit the redevelopment of the lands for two new 16-storey residential buildings and one new 19-storey building with retail/commercial uses on the lower two floors and residential units on the upper floors consisting of residential at 54764m2 and retail at 2636m2. There will be a total of 363 below grade parking. A new east-west public road and new public park are also being proposed.

So this development is directly across the street (west side of Bathurst) from the Minto-Freed project below
also the new road must be the artery that has been recently mentioned connecting Strachan Ave.

Just a small note, Freed is no longer involved in the above mentioned project.

Holy crap, thats awful..........what happened to this

 

[innsertnamehere]

of course it was too good to be true

That's the opposite side of Bathurst I believe.

 

[ChesterCopperpot]

Correct - there are two separate proposed developments at Front and Bathrust - one on the NE Corner and one on the NW corner

Looks almost institutional. Like a wider but much boring brother of the future building across Bathurst.

the architect actually does quite a bit of hospital work http://www.montgomerysisam.com/projects

 

[cogito ergo]

What an awesome development! I hope this one gets built and raises the bar for future development in the area.

What is worrisome to me, is that this proposal virtually kills any feasible chance for future extension of Front St. (to the west).
Much studied options from the past decades, with some modifications, could still make sense now, but with this happening?
Nowhere in LEA study there is even any mention of such possibility.

Yeah...it does look like this project would block any plans from keeping Front street aligned and extending westward

That shipped sailed a long time ago. Never going to happen.

I did not expect the orginal Front street extension plan, but a least a new road north of the tracks from Bathurst to Liberty Village
Sad, considering that this is the start of much more development to come between Bathurst and Strachan...
