From the Lobbyist Registry, we learn that HR is mulling something for this site.
This is a lowrise office building currently tenanted by Bell, located on the north side of Wynford Drive and bordering the DVP to the east and the CP Mainline to the north.
Aerial Pic:
The site size is ~4.7ha/ or just a bit shy of 12 acres.
The Registry does not tell us the nature of the Planning Application to be lobbied, but I find it improbable that it's more office development.
I feel rather confident that City Planning staff will oppose MCR conversion of Employment lands in this location.
The argument will be that there is residential immediately on the other side of the DVP (which shouldn't be there, but I digress); and more proposed.......as well as proximity to the Eglinton Crosstown.
On a straight-line basis, the nearest stop will be 450M from the southern lip of this site. However, the only way to reach that stop will be by traversing the Aga Khan site. Assuming the existing path were open 24/7/365, lit, and maintained for winter, that route would
be 600M to the nearest Crosstown stop.
Alternatively, the distance to the Don Mills Station is ~950M and the distance to the Wynford stop is ~725m. I would add though, that I think a fairer evaluation of walking distance would be the median point on the site rather than its southern lip, which would add ~150M to all of the above routes.
