The Official Plan amendment seeks to establish a Master Plan for the subject site and the Zoning By-law Amendment (the Phase 1 ZBA) seeks to amend the existing zoning of Phase 1sites, to permit a mixed-use development consisting of a 32 storey and 39 storey building. The total gross floor area is proposed to be 62,387 square metres of which 60,348 square metres will be residential gross floor area, and 2,039 square metres is proposed to be used for grade-related retail uses. An overall density of 9.68 times the lot area is proposed."

See, this is why we need to bring EELRT here ASAP, so the residents can be quickly whisked away from this dystopian development.

Thank goodness this is way out in the Scarberian 'burbs and not close to our dynamic, liveable downtown.
 
Yikes.

I've changed my mind.

If this what they're building, Scarborough deserves all the subways they can get!

I get the sense this is a decade out at least, they just want to get their licks in zoning wise.
 
Much as it pains me to cause harm to the visual cortex of my fellow UTers, I feel we should add the new renders to the thread:

OMG.......the design is bad enough, but the almost anime quality to the render below is just..........something:

The renders above, and the commentary below come from the Front Page story here at UT, found here:

A Look at Malvern Town Centre Proposal With Planner, Andrew Ferancik | UrbanToronto

We had the chance to sit down with Andrew Ferancik, the planner working on the redevelopment of Malvern Town Centre. Retained by Davpart to assist in the proposal for a 13-tower master-planned community, Ferancik discusses the details of bringing a master-planned community to life.

With apologies to Mr. Ferancik I see little foresight here, and a great deal that will prompt hindsight.

I see bad layout, bad siting, bad massing, excessive density, poor at-grade experiences........ugh.

This is just appalling and disgusting. Every single thing about this is just horridly designed so I wont rehash what @Northern Light has mentioned.

It's filth to the highest degree.
 
It looks like what you’d see outside of Toronto or the GTA, really. This looks right at home in Hamilton or KW. Not a complement (edit: or insult), just commentary. It’s about what I’d expect for the area all things considered.
