If you're not from @sunnyraytoronto land you may never have heard of this tiny street, running east from Yonge, 2 blocks south of Steeles.
But you'll all know it well enough with time.
This new application to the AIC seeks to replace SFH at 10-18 Abitibi with a new 50s tower by HP. This is the second 50s tower proposed on/adjacent to this street with one proposed just to the west, fronting Yonge.
Site as is, per Streetview, looking west from 18 Abitibi:
You can see 'The Bay' of Centerpoint Mall on the opposite side of Yonge at the terminal view here.
The App:
From the Docs:
* note that full-height images of the tower had to be reduced to 40% to screenshot
Site Plan:
Ground Floor Plan:
Elevator Ratio: 0.93 elevators per 100 units
Parking Ratio: (68 residential spaces) 0.13
FSI: 16.2
***
Some Context:
Comments: Height ask is in line w/the area but high and seems to line up with the Yonge proposal, precedent on the latter will inform the former, but I'd expect a modest haircut here.
Elevator and Parking ratios are good.
Architecture is decent as one might expect from HP, but I actually don't like the asymmetrical expression at-grade.
