Aroma II Inc is proposing to demolish and redevelop a vacant commercial plaza and low-rise residential houses at 2759 Kingston Road in Scarborough's Cliffcrest neighbourhood with a nine-storey, mixed-use building providing at-grade commercial space. Zoning By-Law Amendment and Official Plan Amendment applications have been submitted to the City of Toronto for approval.
Designed by Baron Nelson Architects, the proposal would reach a height of 36.83m and have an FSI of 4.3 on the trapezoid-shaped lot at the southwest corner of Kingston Road and St Quentin Avenue, two blocks east of Brimley Road. Step-backs provide terraces for some units and — incorporating a 7.55m setback along the southern property — transition the development down to the surrounding area’s low-density homes to the south.
The building would bring 88 residential units to the site in a mix of 65 one-bedrooms (74%), 13 two-bedrooms (15%), and 10 three-bedrooms (11%). Two of the one-bedroom units would be located fronting onto St Quentin Avenue, with a landscaped setback of 5m along the public right-of-way.
A total of 352m² of amenity space is proposed, with indoor space located on level 3, and outdoor space on terraces. A green roof is planned for the top of the mechanical penthouse. A two-level, 55-space underground garage would be accessed from St Quentin Avenue. 97 bicycle spaces would be provided, 7 of them for visitors.
TTC buses operate along Kingston Road west of the site, serving Victoria Park and Kennedy stations, while more frequent service is available a short walk north at St Clair Ave East, for buses that serve Warden station. The proposal is about 1.4km from the ScarboroughGO.
