A new proposal from Trolleybus Urban Development Inc. seeks rezoning to permit a pair of condominium towers on a 0.38-hectare site located within walking distance of Main Street subway station and Danforth GO station in Toronto's east end. The plan for 10 Dawes calls for an IBI Group-designed complex to rise next to a 1906-built grain elevator and mill at Dawes Road and Guest Avenue south of Danforth Avenue.
While part of the proposal site, the century-old grain elevator/mill and the surrounding land at the site’s south end is proposed to be dedicated to the City as a heritage building and parkland. The remainder of the site would be redeveloped with two condominium towers of 26 and 33 storeys rising from a shared 7-storey mixed-use podium containing a mix of residential, commercial/office, retail, and daycare uses.
The buildings would house a total of 539 market condominium units and a single rental replacement unit, with 49% of units providing two and three-bedroom layouts. The unit mix is proposed at 273 one-bedroom units with average sizes of 52 m², 203 two-bedroom units with average sizes of 69 m², and 63 three-bedroom layouts with average sizes of 88 m².
Residents would have access to 722 m² of indoor amenity space and 586 m² of outdoor amenity space. Below ground, the site would be served by a three-level underground garage containing 215 parking spaces with 162 spaces for residents and 53 for visitors and commercial spaces. 540 bicycle parking spaces would also be provided.
In addition to the parkland dedication, the project would introduce a new Privately Owned Publicly accessible Space (POPS) pedestrian connection extending from Dawes Road to Guest Avenue, set to further animate the building with café patios and enhanced landscaping by landscape architects Geometric Studio Inc.
