An updated application for Site Plan Approval has been submitted to the City of Toronto by Medallion Corporation and Global Architect Inc. to permit the development of a 12-storey residential building at 2270 Weston Road overlooking the Humber River. The development would replace a two-storey residential building currently on site, adding 110 rental units to the neighbourhood.
The site is located in the Weston area of York and backs onto the Humber River near Cruickshank Park. The development has gone through several stages of site plan approval since it was initially presented to Council in 2009.
Most recently, the proposal’s landscape plan was revised to include a 10 metre green space setback from the top of the Humber River bank, bringing the development’s total landscaped coverage to some 1,150 m² across the whole site.
A four-story base clad primarily of light yellow brick and precast concrete will support the building’s additional eight storeys, themselves composed of a mixture of both yellow and red/brown brick, metal framing, and glass spandrel. Facing out onto Weston Road, the building’s top four storeys step back along a 45 degree plane to retain the pedestrian perspective at street level.
Of the 110 units included in the development’s current plans, 71 one bedroom units and 39 two bedroom units are proposed. Approximately 526 m² of outdoor amenity space will be spread across the site, along with 134 m² of indoor amenity space on the ground floor.
Three levels of underground parking are proposed for the redevelopment, to include 72 spaces for residents and 17 for visitors. The garage will also include a total of 97 vertically stacked bicycle parking spaces for residents and visitors.
