At the northeast corner of Lawrence and Birchmount in Scarborough, Lalu Canada seeks to redevelop the site into a mixed-use development, pending municipal approval. 2180 Lawrence Avenue East, currently vacant commercial land, would be redeveloped as a mixed-use intensification project. On Lalu's behalf, planning consultants Bousfields and Kohn Partnership Architects have submitted revised plans to the City of Toronto's planning department for review.

2180 Lawrence East would bring a mixed-use development comprised of a 21-storey building in the southwest corner, a 7-storey mid-rise building in the northwest corner, and three blocks of stacked, back-to-back townhouses to the north and east. In addition, the project would bring a new public parkette along the Dulverton Road frontage in the northeast portion of the property, and a publicly accessible privately owned open space on the Lawrence Avenue frontage.
