Previous plan : 87 residential dwelling units (71 market units +16 affordable units) = 18.4% Affordable

The POV on the renders in not 100% like-for-like - but it looks like maybe they have relaxed the Angular plane on the West side of the building - and increased the Residential GFA.
Previous plan : non-residential gross floor 692.13 square metres, and a residential gross floor area of 6,133.33 square metres.
Revised plan : non-residential gross floor 541.83 metres, , and a residential gross floor area of 6,429.78 square metres.

More than a year later..........the only permit issued here was for the sales office.
No 'new build' or demo permits have even been applied for at this point.

Unsurprising. Has anything moved "quickly" near Danforth & Broadview in the last dozen years..?
The Broadview Avenue Planning Study (BAPS) which started in November 2013 is doing exactly what it was intended to do... "slow walk" change in that neighbourhood.

For context, the tiny "Nahid on Broadview" - a 6 storey building with a retail ground floor and only 30 residential units directly across from Broadview TTC station - will be over a decade from first-submission (JAN 2015) to first occupancy (Early 2025).

I'm not sure why the Broadview Avenue Planning study should take the blame for delays after approval?
****
Nahid as a builder is pokey at most or all sites; nothing unique to Broadview.............they twiddle their thumbs a lot.

Is there Site-Plan Approval (SPA) on 838 BROADVIEW..? I only thought they had their zoning approvals from Summer 2022.
Last time that we saw that address on any public-document at City Hall was in the LIST OF CITY-OWNED ‘HOUSING READY’ SITES appendix as part of the NOV. 2023 item -
EX9.3 - Generational Transformation of Toronto’s Housing System to Urgently Build More Affordable Homes
PDF - https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2023/ex/bgrd/backgroundfile-240106.pdf
Like almost everything with any "Affordable Housing" component included - the status was "Fed./Prov. Funding/financing required".

So this one had a development partner...........but that partner seems to have changed:
838 Broadview — Broadview Group
www.thebroadviewgroup.ca
This project page shows the SPA submitted in April '22.
I found the AIC link for the SPA, its listed 'Under Review'; but there has not been a single new document submitted since April '22.
Application Details
www.toronto.ca
This generally does not reflect well on the developer, since technical fine tuning is normal; there should be some sign of activity on the file, but there is none.
That and any funding issues certainly are not on the Broadview Avenue Planning Study. (Which, for the record, I'm not defending or throwing under the bus here, merely saying it ought not to wear the blame in this case)

If the BAPS had been much less restrictive, then more progress could (likely) have been made on this site.
Expect this site will need more unit-density using 2024 numbers, especially if the City is now looking for Fifty (50) "rent-controlled homes" on that site..??
Not sure how the City can get that without a applying a huge per door subsidy..??
