Rezoning and Site Plan Approval applications have been submitted to the City of Toronto seeking permission to redevelop a property just north of Dupont on Bathurst into a nine-storey self-storage facility. The site at 1109 Bathurst Street, which extends east to a pair of semi-detached dwellings at 246 and 248 Albany Avenue, is currently occupied by a car wash and extensive paving.
The 13,567 m² development is designed by Paul Hastings Architect and Rick Brown & Associates Inc. that reads as a warehouse building, paying deference to the neighbourhood's historical industrial character. A mix of brick and metal cladding joins sandstone cornices, glass spandrel, and steel canopies to comprise the disparate building envelope.
The west portion of the ground floor would contain 89 m² of administrative office space directly accessible from Bathurst Street. The ground floor would also contain self-storage lockers, servicing areas, and an internalized one-way driveway serving 12 parking and two loading spaces within the building. The remaining levels above would be exclusively devoted to self-storage lockers.
Four short-term bicycle spaces would be situated just south of the main entrance, with an additional two long-term bicycle spaces located adjacent to the garage entrance off Bathurst.
