A revised Zoning By-law Amendment application for 5359 Dundas Street West in Etobicoke's Six Points area calls for reduced height and density compared to the initial submission to the City of Toronto. Designed by Arcadis for CentreCourt, the now 49-storey mixed-use condominium is intended to better align with its surroundings in the evolving area near the Kipling Mobility Hub, where the TTC, GO, and MiWay meet.
Located at the intersection of Dundas Street West and Subway Crescent, the site spans approximately 3,489m². Currently occupied by a four-storey commercial building with surface parking, it is neighboured by a mix of residential and commercial properties. The area is being pushed towards higher-density developments within walking distance of Kipling station.
The initial submission from April, 2023 outlined a 55-storey mixed-use building encompassing a gross floor area of 41,808m². City staff provided feedback, and concerns regarding the high-rise structure’s alignment with neighbouring buildings and shadow impacts led to the six-storey reduction and complete reshaping of the building.
These changes would bring the building's height down to 157.7m from the previous 182.95m. There would be 600 residential units compared to the previous 668. The total GFA has been reduced to 37,377m², with the Floor Space Index (FSI) decreasing from 12 to 10.7.
The original rectangular north-south oriented tower has been modified into a square floor-plate, now positioned further south on the site to allow a 10m setback from Dundas Street. The removal of previously planned Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS) has been offset by an increase in retail space from 309m² to 475m².
Plans now call for 1,609m² of indoor and 791m² of outdoor amenity area, located on levels 2 and 3. This is an increase from the initial total of 2,004m². The design still entails four residential elevators, along with an elevator from the two levels of underground garage to the lobby. The number of units per elevator has decreased from 167 to 150, however, this still indicates much longer than preferable wait times for residents.
Parking facilities have been revised with 56 residential and 8 visitor spaces, a decrease from the 76 total spaces initially proposed; in addition, the resubmission retains the surface parking lot to the south of the building with 46 spots. Bicycle parking provisions have been slightly reduced to 408 long-term and 52 short-term spots, reflecting the decreased number of residential units.
The site is just steps away from the Kipling Mobility Hub, which includes connections to the TTC, GO Transit, and MiWay services.
Just west of the site, the first three of five towers at The Kip District have been constructed, with the buildings varying from 20 to 40 storeys, while the second phase of Pinnacle Etobicoke is in sales — Aspen includes two towers of 40 and 44 storeys as part of a nine-tower master-planned community. Additionally, 5485-5487 Dundas Street West is set to introduce eight new towers ranging from 25 to 43 storeys. To the northeast, proposals at 8 and 5 Jopling Avenue South call for 29 and 38 storeys and a 39-storey building respectively. The Six Points Plaza Redevelopment at 5230 Dundas Street West plans for six buildings with heights spanning from 8 to 45 storeys, while 4 Beamish Drive is also set for a 44-storey tower. Near Kipling Avenue and Dundas Street West, 26 and 30-storey towers are under construction at 5207 Dundas Street West. Closer to Kipling station are the proposals for a 41-storey building at 5238 Dundas Street West and the 50-storey Kipling Station Condos.
