In Toronto’s charming Roncesvalles neighbourhood, a new mid-rise is proposed at 2112 Dundas Street West, just east of Roncesvalles Avenue and its stretch of quaint local shops. Designed by Architectural Instinct Inc. for Caran Developments, this 10-storey mixed-use building would stand south of the larger developments planned closer to the Dundas West-Bloor Station Mobility Hub.
Currently occupied by 3-storey mixed-use buildings, the 2106 through 2112 Dundas Street West site spans approximately 547m². Situated on the northeast corner with Golden Avenue, the property holds commercial units at ground level with four residential units above. Its surroundings include traditional row-type commercial structures to contemporary mid-rise buildings. Several nearby properties listed on the City’s Heritage Register, though none at or immediately adjacent to the site itself.
The Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications seek to facilitate the construction of a 10-storey building standing 35.1m. There would be 52 rental units, including 22 studio, 24 one-bedroom and one-plus-den, and 6 two-bedroom units.
With a Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 3,472m², plans include 249m² of commercial GFA. At street level, the design entails three commercial units, including one along Golden Avenue, with an additional 55m² commercial unit in the single basement level.
Indoor and outdoor amenities would total 234m², including a gym on the basement level and communal outdoor terraces on the ninth and tenth floors. With two elevators included in the architectural plans, residents would have minimal wait times with approximately one elevator for every 26 units.
The plan does not include long-term residential parking, reflecting the site’s proximity to transit. Three visitor parking spaces would be provided at grade. The proposal includes 58 bicycle parking spaces, with 47 long-term and 11 short-term spaces.
Positioned approximately 500m from both Dundas West subway and Bloor GO stations, the site is within walking distance of Bloor Line 2, the Kitchener GO Train, and Union Pearson Express. The area is served by bus and streetcar routes along Dundas Street, and Howard Park and Roncesvalles avenues. For cyclists, the site is near the West Toronto Railpath, with bike lanes along Dundas Street West.
The surrounding area includes several mid-rise projects alongside larger developments. Nearby, at 6 Howard Park Avenue on the south side of Dundas Street West, a 10-storey building is proposed. Further west, 421 Roncesvalles Avenue is proposed at 5 storeys, while to the north, 2283 Dundas Street West would rise to 6 storeys. Towards the east near Lansdowne Avenue, 1744 Dundas Street West is planned at 7 storeys. Larger-scale developments are clustered closer to the Dundas West subway and Bloor GO stations, including the 31-storey proposal for 158 Sterling Avenue as part of the Sterling Master Plan. A comprehensive redevelopment at 2280 Dundas Street West would include 7 buildings ranging from 6 to 38 storeys.
