Included in the long list of new building applications to the City of Toronto at the end of 2019 is a proposal that seeks an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning Bylaw Amendments to permit a mid-rise condominium at 2630 Kipling, located on the southwest corner with Annabelle Drive, mid-way between Finch and Steeles avenues in the Mount Olive area of Rexdale.
The proposal from the landowner Gil Shcolyar calls for a six-storey, mixed-use building designed by Keith Loffler McAlpine Architects containing a gross floor area of 6,494 m², the majority of which would be occupied by 68 condominium units and their associated common areas and amenity spaces, anchored to Kipling Avenue with 153 m² of street-fronting commercial space. The units are proposed in a mix of 22 one-bedrooms, 35 two-bedrooms, and 11 three-bedrooms.
The site’s footprint takes a mirrored “P” shape, with a rectilinear massing along Kipling and a rounded projection along Annabelle Drive to the north. Renderings depict a mix of precast concrete and brick-patterned finishes, a modern interpretation of the nearby apartment towers to the east that line the Humber Valley.
A total of 85 parking spaces are planned on site, with 72 long-term residential use spaces and 13 short-term spaces for visitors. A two-level underground garage would contain 78 of the spaces, while 7 open-air spaces are provided at grade.
To make way for the new building, plans call for the demolition of the existing single-storey medical centre along Annabelle Drive.
