Residential Demolition Application - 111 Wenderly Drive and 746 and 748 Marlee Avenue

This item will be considered by North York Community Council on November 4, 2020. City Council has delegated final decision-making authority for the subject of this agenda item. The North York Community Council will make the final decision on this item unless any amendments it approves exceed its authority.

 
I hope that I have the correct thread. This project is most likely going through a rethink considering what is happening along this street. Will look for a resubmission. Taken 16 May.

Oh, that's excellent! It's going to be far better in the long term to have 200 homes so close to 2 subway stations than 10. Kudos to the developer for proposing so few parking spaces, which is going to help speed up construction, improve the neighbourhood, and reduce costs for everyone.

One net new commercial storefront is very positive too. Would it be better if there were more? Sure. But it's still to be commended. With all the proposed development on the street, Marlee is going to be in a situation where there will be enough residents to support increased local commercial activity, but many of the commercial units will be lost through redevelopment. So anything along these lines is going to be good in the long run.

Here's the neighbourhood context:

Drove by yesterday and saw signage for Honeycomb on site.

Their website mentions: Construction start Q4 2027. Target occupancy Q1/Q2 2030.

 
Anyone know why this project got cancelled? It looks like a 13 story building will be taking its place instead.

You mean as a condo?

The information you seek is generally posted above........but to add for clarity, there is no market for mid-market condos currently. Zero, None.

So this is now proposed as rental for which there are government incentives and a market.

Albeit, one that is not as robust as many builders are hoping. But they stand an okay shot at market recovery by the time they're ready to open this.
