First, I must note with gratitude this fine example of a 'PMT Special'

For those not in the know, this is when PMT doesn't just update an application; but digs one up you'd completely forgotten about and updates it!

****

Now w/that said, time to see what's changed here, from the Cover Letter:

The new rendering is updated in the database. There are several project information changes in the database. The overall building storey count changed from 40, 30, 27, 7 & 7 storeys to 41, 35, 26 and 23-storey. Total building height changed from 126.18m, 98.45m, 90.83m, 38.10m & 38.10m to 130.25m, 111.05m, 85.70m, 74.95m. Total unit count decreased from 2319 units to 1624 units.

The rendering is taken from the architectural plan via Rezoning submission:

Does this mean the existing office building B1 at 100 Cowdray, is no longer going to be demolished?

9 months later, the SPA (for Block 4) is born. Gestation is a thing!

@interchange42 will wish to consider whether to break this one up into its constituent blocks or not.

Renders:

Site Plan - showing context with all blocks:

Site Plan specific to this block:

Ground Floor Plan:

Unit Count: 813

Total Parking 686 residential (plus visitor and retail)

Parking Ratio: 0.84

For a site that will be walking distance to the Sheppard Subway and Agincourt GO, the parking seems excessive.

****

Elevators: 7 across the 2 towers so something close to the 1 per 100 ratio we like (I'm not looking at the breakdown right now)


Comments: By and large this development has evolved in a positive direction. The podiums are much improved from the original iteration, and the site plan evolved favourably vis a vis the natural area/park system.

There are some real issues w/the proposed expression at-grade here though; and the parking is very high.

We will create new database files for each phase here. Wow this took a long time to get to this stage… this thread was created in December, 2018.
