I rode by on my bike going from the Humber Trail to the Finch Corridor Trail and was pleasantly surprised with the public realm treatment along Weston Road in front of these buildings. No pictures unfortunately, but it elevated the cycling experience between the two off-road trails from totally unbearable to unbearable.

if I understand correctly they already got the zoning for the whole site. I wonder if this means they want to change the overall plan (i.e. increase densities) for the last 5 buildings or re-jig it completely? Or it's simply the process to get the next phase done? We'll find out soon enough when they update the descriptions.

If they are going for an Official Plan Amendment, that's an indication that something drastically different is proposed here now than what is currently allowed.

Well why not? Wide arterial road spanning the entire north of the city, mass transit line under construction, the 400 next door, no heritage buildings to worry about, no shadowing concerns - what justification would you have to limit height here?

I can't think of any. I used to live nearby and the tallest building in the area I can think of is 25 San Romanoway, which is 33 storeys. To me growing up, it was the tallest building for miles. I never dreamed a 55-storey building could be built in this area.


Docs are up. Architect is still IBI Group:
