We've done it, ladies and gentlemen, we have officially achieved "Hermione's Bag of Holding" levels of condo planning.

Unless at least one of those bedrooms is going to be out on the terrace, there is simply no way 3 bedrooms are going to fit in that space. Also, see immediately above for a 1 bedroom space totalling 295 SF next to a bachelor with almost 100 SF more... who is in charge of floorplates at HPA?

Gotta hit that 10% any way you can....


Edit: thats also less than 50% of the suggested floorspace requirement for a 3bdrm in the Growing Up! guidelines

Definitely has to be a drawing error. some 1 BR at 774 Sqft. hilarious nonetheless
 
I don't know how this can be stopped, but today's rather charming two-storey frontages on Yonge from Erskine north to Lytton Blvd, which make it such a family-friendly, non big box retail, mom + pop retailing strip, is soon to disappear. So many independent retailers have worked so hard to make their livelihoods here, become part of this neighbourhood, yet eventually will have to give it up to these hellish 'podiums of bad chains' with condos up top. Sad to see this will be the future of Yonge north to Lawrence.

1 and 2 storey buildings don't belong on Yonge Street near a subway station. there are plenty of locations in Toronto where these stores can find a home.
Big box stores are common because that is where people actually want to shop, not some mom and pop store that has few choices

If it isn't an error, then bedrooms 2/3 might be sized for single beds.

Nano bachelor in Hong Kong are about 150sqft total, and you could fit 3 of those into 500sqft.

Would be yes, but the Ontario Building Code wouldn't accept Nano apartments currently. Minimum bedroom sizes etc.

Good point.

That whole Eglinton & Yonge zoning thing made me think more rules were eliminated than was actually the case.
