A new planning application for the rapidly intensifying Rymal Road corridor proposes to build an eight-storey mixed-use retirement home with a daycare and ground-level commercial across from Bishop Ryan Secondary School.

Across Rymal Road, to the north, is conditionally approved for a 6-storey 54 residential unit building.


The developer’s plan includes an outdoor patio space for the ground-level commercial units, ideal for a cafe.

The approximate 180-person retirement home will have individual living units ranging from studio units to two bedrooms.
The ground-level design will include windbreaks and other features to improve the comfort level of the pedestrian realm.

A private playground will be provided for the daycare.

The entire Rymal Road corridor is quickly intensifying with a number of nearby residential applications.

Definitely an area that's going to see some rapid densification over the next decade, and a good spot for it too in my opinion. I just hate how institutional most retirement communities look. Retirement communities should be the most walkable and user-friendly, but instead they're utilitarian and rarely have anything within reasonable walking distance for seniors.
