New density is being proposed in several neighbourhoods along the path of the under-construction Crosstown LRT, and while high-density towers have become increasingly common in Midtown Toronto over the past several years, traditional forms of family-housing are also experiencing a surge in demand. Richmond Hill-based developer Impressions Group aims to satisfy a little of this demand with a new townhome development in the sought-after Leaside neighbourhood.

Being marketed as 'The Brownstones of Leaside', the Peter Higgins Architect Inc.-designed project is offering eight four-storey townhomes, coming in 3 and 4-bedroom models with sizes of up to 2,900 ft² and prices starting at $1.5 million. The development would rise at the corner of McRae and Sutherland, a short distance west of Laird Drive, from a site currently occupied by an auto service centre, on a mixed-use block containing residential and commercial uses.

Residents of the eight homes will have access to private rooftop patio spaces, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining guests. A rendering of a private rooftop patio space depicts wood finishes and panoramic skyline views over Leaside's trees.
