Parkdale Activity-Recreation Centre (PARC) is advancing a redevelopment plan for the 1497-1501 Queen Street West site in Parkdale.​

Proposed Phase 1:​

1499 Queen Street West​

Phase 1 focuses on the redevelopment of 1499 Queen Street West, while retaining key elements of the heritage streetscape.
The proposal includes:
  • Preserving the heritage north façade of 1499 Queen while removing the remainder of the existing structure.
  • Demolishing 91 Beaty Avenue (PARC owned) to create a new access drive and loading area.
  • Upgrading the centre portion of the public laneway to meet City requirements for safe truck turning.
  • Constructing a new 10-storey building, with lower floors aligned to the preserved heritage façade.
  • Designing exit stairs and circulation to support future interconnection with 1501 Queen for Phase 2.

When complete, 1499 Queen will include:
7 floors of new residential units (70 units total)
3 floors of community space and administrative offices
A fully modernized, accessible building that remains rooted in the heritage character of Queen Street West.

Proposed Phase 2:​

1501 Queen Street West​

Phase 2 proposes the redevelopment of 1501 Queen Street West, designed to complement Phase 1 and create a connected campus.
The proposal includes:
  • Retaining the heritage north and west façades of 1501 Queen and removing the remaining structure.
  • Constructing a new 7-storey building, with lower floors aligned to the preserved façades.
  • Designing interconnected corridors that link 1501 Queen with the new building at 1499 Queen.

Hmmm, we've discussed this project much more recently that would be indicated above. I wonder if @AlbertC would remember where/which thread....
