Rendering of 1779-1787-Bayview-Avenue from application submitted to the City of Toronto. (Prepared for Condor Properties Ltd by IBI Group)
We knew it was going to happen, but now that there is a proposal to look at, it’s a little extraordinary to see. The new Leaside LRT Station will be integrated into the podium of the new development. According to the Application submitted to the City, it is described as a
“proposal for 35-storey mixed use building containing a total of 373 dwelling units and 541 square metres of retail space.
The subject site is currently occupied by the primary entrance to the Leaside station on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT line, which is scheduled to open in 2023 (1787 Bayview Avenue), and two multiplex residential buildings which are to be demolished and replaced as part of the new development (1779-1781 and 1783-1785 Bayview Avenue). …
The proposal will include a total of 373 residential units, comprised of 265 condominium units and 108 rental units (including 10 rental replacement units). … A total of 139 vehicular parking spaces are proposed on 4 levels of underground parking, including 129 residential spaces and 9 spaces for visitors and retail space combined, as well as 488 bicycle parking spaces on the ground floor and mezzanine.”
We think that including some red brick at street level might have been a nice touch on a tower located in Leaside. Also curious to know if a McDonald’s will return to this corner once all is said and done. Asking for a friend. 😉
