In the Toronto borough of Etobicoke, a series of new medium-density residential development proposals have been submitted to the City along The Queensway between Kipling Avenue and Park Lawn Road, the latest one seeking rezoning to permit a 16-storey condominium at 935 The Queensway, just east of Islington Avenue.

The proposal from Mattamy Homes calls for a TACT Architecture-designed building, rising 58.65 metres with a unique aesthetic that combines a rigid rectilinear base with more organic curves on the balconies and upper most floors. Stepbacks, producing large terraces on the 9, 11, and 14th levels, would provide 2,645 m² of private outdoor space for residents. The stepbacks also help maintain an eight-storey mid-rise massing along The Queensway, placing the bulk of the density at the rear of the site. A smaller six-storey volume would help transition the massing down to meet the adjacent townhome development to the west.

The building would meet The Queensway with a mix of 491 m² of ground floor retail and a collection of two-storey townhome units. Including the ground floor townhomes, the project would house a total of 243 condominium units, proposed in a mix of 125 one-bedroom units, 94 two-bedroom units, and 24 three-bedroom units. Residents would have access to 727 m² of ground floor amenity space.

A 4-level underground garage would contain 250 parking spaces, divided between 210 long-term and 36-short term spaces. A total of 187 bicycle spaces are proposed (170 for residents, 17 for visitors, and 6 for the retail), with visitor and retail bicycle spaces located at grade and resident spaces housed within the garage’s P1 level.
