Not a single 3-bedroom unit in the entire complex at a time when the average house has become completely unaffordable to young couples. Where are people supposed to raise their families?

With bunk beds

LOL, tell that to a 15 year old.

It will inspire them to move out sooner than later.

Especially in Leaside of all places.

This is the place to make a 3-bedroom condo unit. Heck, even 4-bedroom.

I'm always impressed at the high quality public realm imagined in condo renders: really wide and handsomely paved sidewalks; street trees that aren't spindly, dead or dying; no overhead wires; perpetual summer... It's the exact opposite of what Toronto really looks like.

OMB will approve the Zoning By-law Amendment for the revised proposal once pre-conditions are met:

a. The final form and content of the zoning by-law being satisfactory to the City Solicitor;
b. The owner entering into a Section 37 Agreement to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, including:
i. The provision of the cash contribution outlined in the Settlement Offer as amended by Confidential Attachment 2 to be indexed from the date of execution of the section 37 agreement until payment to be applied to new recreational/community facilities (which may include off-site parkland acquisition) in the vicinity of the site and/or the expansion of any existing recreational/community facilities in the vicinity of the site;
ii. Terms relating to the conveyance of the new north-south public street;
iii. Terms relating to public access over the proposed east-west private driveway;
iv. Terms relating to the parkland conveyance (approximately 1720 m2) prior to the issuance of the first above grade building permit; and
v. Terms related to the above base parkland construction, up to the value of the Parks and Recreation component of the development charges payable for the development.

So I decided to pull the pictures out of the development application to post them here for a closer look:

Well, it's got all the setbacks but the net effect looks ungainly and squat... even a tad claustrophobic.

For fun, I decided to stitch together the site maps of this project, and of 815 Eglinton Ave E next door to get a feel of how these two projects are going to change the area.

A Site Plan Application was filed with the City on December 21 for phases 1 and 2 (buildings A and B, respectively). The developer is "Camvest Holdings Inc." (which shares their address with Camrost Felcorp) and it looks like this will be marketed as Upper East Village:

It looks good. I like the red brick, black-framed windows, stone, and inset balconies. But I wouldn't want the silly faux-New York marketing name plastered on the building itself. That would be in bad taste.

 

[Midtown Urbanist]

Me too. Inset balconies are awesome for useability perspective.

It feels like they're trying to force a neighbourhood into existence when it's already in an established one.
