Credit to @INTz for first posting this in the Finch West LRT thread. No applications with the City yet.

This is a mixed-use development at Keele and Finch which is proposed to replace a medical building currently on site:

Thanks for the credit @PMT and good work for tracking down the renders from Icon. Excited to see this intersection transform! So far planned for this intersection is: this site and haven developments university heights project. At sentinel and finch, there is a huge tower in the park infill approved, but unfortunately nothing has happened since El-Ad sold it to DoubleZ, I would be excited to see something happen there as well...

The applications propose the redevelopment of the lands with a multi-phase, mixed-use redevelopment consisting of:
• A new east-west oriented public right-of-way extending from Tangiers Road (Street ‘A’)
• A new 0.185 hectare (0.46 acre) public parkland • Three 14-storey mixed-use towers oriented along the Finch Avenue West (Buildings A and B)
• A 14-storey mixed-use tower internal to the subject property adjacent to the future east-west road (Building C)
• A new 13-storey office building located at the intersection of the future east-west road and Tangiers Road (Building D)

The applications propose a total of 818 dwelling units, and 3,239 square metres (+/-35,860 square feet) of retail space. The conceptual unit mix is comprised of 630 one-bedroom units (77%), 106 two-bedroom units (13%), and 82 three-bedroom units (10%). The three-bedroom units include 16 townhouse style Page 2 dwelling units fronting onto Street ‘A’ and proposed parkland. Building D is to be comprised solely of office and accessory uses, with an approximate floor area of 10,418 square metres (+/-112,138 square feet).

The total non-residential floor area proposed represents an increase of non-residential floor area of approximately 45% compared to the existing area currently available on the property. The proposed development has a combined gross floor area of 70,301.3 square metres (+/-756,717 square feet) and a gross floorspace index (FSI) of 4.25 (net FSI of 5.49 -- excluding lands to be conveyed for proposed right-of-way and parkland).
 
Some new docs here in the AIC. Seems like they changing the footprint quite a bit.

The previous plan was awful, so here's hoping there's something better once the new docs are posted. Now 5 towers apparently.

Lets bring the description forward:

Based on the above

Unit Count: - 15

Non-Residential space looks pretty status quo

Total GFA: - 3600m2
 
Docs are already up on the original application not the new one. Just order by date.
Looks like 5 buildings in total now built over 2 phases. The commercial/retail space fronting Finch is large. Not sure if its for multiple stores or one large tenant. Would be really nice to have some new commercial/retail space in the area!

A 40mb Architecture File............!

I didn't think the City allowed them that big.

Immediate issue above jumps out at me, the proposed cul de sac really intrudes into creating a functional layout for the future park.

More visible in the image below, one can also see the park lacks any visibility from or connection to either Finch or Keele. Though the renders I will post below do suggest a connection via a path to/from the LRT station.
