Developer Maniad is seeking to redevelop properties at 35 and 39 Holmes Avenue in the North York City Centre area of Toronto with a new condominium development. Currently occupied by a vacant lot at 35 and a single-family bungalow at 39 Holmes, the proposal—known simply as 35 Holmes—requires an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning Bylaw Amendment to permit an 18-storey condo tower reaching a height of 60.6 metres, or 199 feet.

Designed by Icon Architects, the proposed building consists of a three-storey podium with a 15-storey tower volume above, marked by a contrasting treatment of black and white cladding with clear glass and red accents. The accents and glazing are predominantly located on the longer east and west facades, while the narrower north and south elevations are largely windowless.

The proposal has a gross floor area (GFA) of 19,556 m², including 13,305 m² of residential GFA. The residential component includes a total of 154 condominium units, divided between 100 one-bedroom units (65%), and 54 units offering two or more bedrooms (35%).
