Toronto Balliol Park | 99m | 30s | Collecdev-Markee | Diamond Schmitt

On Tuesday May 14 at 9:30am Toronto and East York Community Council will also be debating a development proposal for 87 – 107 Davisville Avenue and 108 – 128 Balliol Street.


The original plan was for a 12 storey condo with 176 units on Davisville and a 29 storey condo with 324 units on Balliol. The community was almost unanimously opposed to this proposal.
 
Proposal for a Site Plan Approval for a 30 storey and 14 storey building comprising of a total of 33147m2 of residential gross floor area. Theses 2 buildings (on seperate parcels of land) will consist of 36 bachelor units, 357 single bedrooms and 129 two bedrooms with a total of 297 parking spaces (245 for residential use and 52 for visitors). Address shall be 87-107 Davisville Ave and 108-128 Balliol St.

It would be nice if the first floors of these buildings had some spaces for coffee shops, restaurants and other small stores.
 
Davisville is slowly getting bigger/taller. Allure north of Dville on Yonge is at grade and rising, and MYC at Merton/Yonge south of Davisville now topped out at 24 storeys has made a big impact on the feel of the neighbourhood. Already lots of bodies during the day but I expect this intersection to be a lively node in its own right in 10 years.

Drum, why was the community opposed? Lack of retail? Height? I can't believe it was affection for the townhouses (unless you rented one now, I guess).

Fun times getting on the subway at Davisville station c. 2018. I really liked the area when I lived there, but man, combine the proposals mentioned here, that new condo at Merton, and who knows what else, and I can see the day where you'll have to get the train pretty much at 6:00am or wait for at least five to go by.
 
I agree - I lived at Davisville for 3 years and getting on the southbound train was an absolute nightmare.

Many mornings would involve waiting for 2 or 3 trains to pass before being able to get on
 
April 20: nothing happening yet, but the townhomes are now vacant.
