27 Storey Condo Tower Proposed for 733 Mount Pleasant

UrbanToronto has reported that Rockport Group has submitted a Zoning Bylaw Amendment application for 733 Mount Pleasant Road, replacing their initial submission from 2018. Originally proposed as a 9-storey mid-rise, the developer is now proposing a 27-storey tower, with five times the number of residential units of the original application.

“The change corresponds to the changes to OPA 405, commonly known as Midtown in Focus, that were unilaterally made by the provincial government in 2019. The changes to OPA 405 came in July, 2019, when the Ford government made over 70 alterations to the Midtown official plan. Focusing on intensifying nodes surrounding transit stations, the changes allow for increased density across the board. With the subject site located roughly 160 metres south of a future Crosstown LRT Station at Eglinton and Mount Pleasant, the project is well within the radius for added density.”
