Developer Rockport Group has resubmitted a proposal to the City of Toronto seeking rezoning and an Official Plan Amendment to permit a mid-rise development at 2100 Yonge Street, located on its northwest corner with Manor Road West, between Davisville and Eglinton. Updated plans include sweeping changes to the original proposal from 2018, with a refined design from retained architects RAW Design that incorporates a height increase from 11 to 12 storeys.
Key statistical changes include a new height of 42.08 metres, a slight increase from the previous plan's 40.3-metre height. The proposed overall gross floor area (GFA) has decreased from 7,711 m² to 7,456 m². This is now broken down as 7,174 m² of residential space, or 96.2% of the GFA, and 282 m² of retail space at 3.8% of the total GFA.
Initial plans from June, 2018 included a lone rendering of the design concept accompanied by a series of massing diagrams, with exterior expression left absent. Nearly two years since the plan was first tabled, the revised plan has evolved with articulated rear terraces that sharply contrast against the more rigid volumes of the under construction Uovo Boutique Residences now coming to the site immediately north of 2100 Yonge.
The building is now set to include seven residential rental units and 91 condominium units, representing an increase of 20 condo units over the previous proposal's 71. The mix is now proposed at 48 one-bedrooms, 28 two-bedrooms, and 15 three-bedrooms. Two parking levels would house 22 long-term spaces for residents, and 82 long-term bicycle locker spaces.
