1490-1500 Merivale Rd | 5 buildings | up to 34m | 9-11f
Claridge Homes is proposing to construct 5 buildings at 1490-1500 Merivale road. The project site is located on a large triangular block, known as the “Triangle Lands”, bounded by Merivale Road to the southeast, Baseline Road to the north and Clyde Avenue to the west. The site is approximately 6.2 hectares and is highly irregular with discontinuous frontages on each of the three thoroughfares, which has greatly informed the planning and architectural approach to this project. The areas immediately adjacent to the site are not developed in a manner that creates any notable or relevant architectural or urban context.
The proposed development on the subject lands was the subject of an initial Site Plan Control application, submitted September 27th, 2021. The application and comprehensive plan featured the phased development of five (5) mid- to high-rise buildings between nine (9) and 11 storeys. The master plan was initially proposed to contain a total of 1,967 residential units, including a range of unit types from studio to three-bedroom units. Additionally, one (1) 129m2 retail space was to be provided as part of the proposal. Parking on the site was to be accommodated in a consolidated two (2) level underground parking garage with approximately 2,008 vehicular spaces.
