This massive proposal is for 3 towers of 50, 52 and 55 storeys to what is today the site of the Domo office complex. and between them would feature 1,759 residential units.

Existing site - context:

With that, let me get to the application:

Application Details

Flag @Paclo and @HousingNowTO due to this being in close proximity to Sheppard West Station, a very high density ask without local precedent and its potential impact on existing and future sites, include those in public ownership.

Elevator Ratio: (site wide) I count 12 elevators across 1,759 units that is equal to 0.682 elevators per 100 units/ or one elevator per 146.58 units. However, you describe it, this does not meet the @ProjectEnd standard!

Parking Ratio: 707 resident spaces in addition to commercial and visitor parking. This is a ratio of 0.4 parking spaces per unit. This seems high where the predication of the site is clearly an MTSA around Sheppard West station, and where a supermarket is also contemplated at grade.

For those of you wondering about the architecture firm...........' Hi!' ....

Well, the website isn't too informative.....


But the principal appears to be related to the property owner here......... she (the principal) being Idette de Boer
 
Thanks, site is inside the MTSA --- and heights are similar to what Canada Lands has been proposing at their Downsview West zone.

Hi! Architects was involved in the rezoning of Westline Condos before it became Westline Condos. Perhaps a similar strategy here.

Idette de Boer is Garrit de Boer's (the bearded gentleman who you'll remember from the old Idomo commercials) daughter.

Do you have any knowledge of her architectural work history? (projects she's done)

She worked with John van Nostrand (fellow Dutchman) for a good many years, but now only really does this kind of work for the de Boers Corporation(s) (Idomo, Domo, etc.).

Thanks PE.

I knew w/your encyclopedic knowledge of local architecture the chances were good of you having the answer!
 
Very short ceiling heights here... 165 metres is much shorter than most 55 floor towers. The average is around 181 metres.

Way too many studios/1-bedroom units

It is 2-3 stops to York University on the Subway, so there's an active market for "entry-level" apartments,

33% of units as 2 or 3 bedrooms is greater than what the City requires in the "Growing-Up Guidelines".
