The website Urban Toronto has obtained information on a proposed three-tower development north of Yonge and St Clair that will, if approved, create a huge boost in density to the area. It would stand at Yonge and Heath St. East and offer a rival to the growth and height of skyscrapers at Yonge and Eglinton. The northern three-fifths of the block to the northeast of the Yonge-St. Clair intersection is targeted for redevelopment as Wittington Properties Limited seeks rezoning to permit the development. It includes condominiums rising above significant ground-level retail and pedestrian space and would no doubt add density and attractive business growth. It will also change the character of the area profoundly. The low-rise businesses north of the intersection will go, as will Wally Crouter Walk and the familiar Alvin Ave. Green P lot. Homes and businesses on the east side of Alvin will sit in the permanent shadow of the new towers.
