Will this be for the fourth tower in the northwest corner? I hope so…New Application in for this one in the AIC, no description yet except that it includes rezoning and is listed as covering 350 and 390

Official Plan & Zoning By-law Amendment application for a new 16-storey purpose-built rental residential tower atop the existing above-grade parkade at 396 Queens Quay West (21 storeys in total), a 4-storey façade including purpose-built rental residential units to the south face of the parkade at 396 Queens Quay West, and the addition of new residential space and laundry rooms to each floor of the north end of the existing rental residential tower at 390 Queens Quay West. The proposed redevelopment would result in the addition of 239 new purpose-built rental units on the site.
Well there goes the rent control (and some of the views) for the existing rental units, that's a damn shame.
As the the proposal itself, the tower furthest to the west looks good and interacts well with its surroundings. The tower in between the 2 existing buildings needs a lot of help to say the least. To be frank actually, it should be reduced in height just for backdrop purposes.
Exactly this. Perhaps I shouldve been more clear, I was assuming there would be alterations (which we cant confirm 100% yet). Funny thing is, if they make even the slightest addition to existing units, they would no longer have rent control which is just absolute BS.it would if they remained unaltered, which is likely given rental replacement requirements.
rental replacement policies would hold rents in the existing units even if they are re-arranged internally.Exactly this.

However the additional units to the existing building wont have any rent control:
Rent control rules do not apply to new housing units that have been occupied for residential purposes for the first time after November 15, 2018. This applies to units that are newly built, additions to existing buildings, and new basement apartments.
Current tenants with tenancy agreements or leases entered into on or before November 15, 2018 will continue to be subject to the rent control rules.
