Just east of the Toronto-Mississauga border is 340 Mill Road where a proposed infill building will replace a surface parking lot. Designed by BDP Quadrangle, the proposed 60.9-metre high building will be massed as a 5-storey podium above which another 14 storeys will rise. The new building has been designed to function as an integrated development with the 19-storey apartment building on the lot that was constructed in 1970s. The new building will add 191 purpose-built rental units to the site, while expanding the underground garage to serve both buildings.
The rezoning of the site was approved by City Council last week. As part of the zoning approval, the City and site owner Mohican Holdings negotiated a Section 37 funding of $1,500,000 to be put by the City towards improvements to Centennial Park (about a kilometre to the north) and/or to connect cycling infrastructure on Burnhamthorpe Road from Mill Road to the Etobicoke Creek west of which there is already cycling infrastructure in Mississauga. If the money is not used within three years, it can then be redirected by the City to another purpose that benefits the surrounding community.
The City is also requiring that the existing 225-unit apartment building's units remain renat controlled for a minimum of another two decades, and that its residents be given full access to all of the new indoor and outdoor amenities of the proposed building at no extra cost. According to the proposal, these amenities could include a gym, rooftop patio, lawn, pet relief area. Current tenants of the existing building would also benefit from improvements to their building, which would include the full replacement of the windows and balcony doors as well as the construction of a new gym, (or the renovation of the existing gym), accompanied by the addition of new gym equipment, and renovated laundry facilities including a new television and seating area, new folding tables, and one or more new oversized laundry machines.
The existing building would also benefit from a new outdoor barbecue and seating area with a gazebo, as well as other light landscaping work near its main entrance. The new building will also be fully landscaped as per the Site Plan Approval application, which remains under review.
