And dufferin continues to develop. Good news for the area. Bad news for car lovers

With that much density, I bet Planning will raise concerns about traffic. This is next to a 401 off-ramp and along a congested stretch of Dufferin.

Wait till Honda submits their application and the Giant telescope store. But hey dufferin won't need a row streetcar, lrt, or subway

Umm, Yorkdale Station?

Umm, Yorkdale Station?

Yes yorkdale subway exists but dufferin itself is going to need transit itself to deal with triverso, the condos planned for th ford dealership, staples, dream condos, this holiday Inn sight and whatever happens at dufferin/dupont and dufferin/eglinton.

 

[Edward Skira]

Ever been on the 401 and it's so slow because of all the cars trying to exit to Yorkdale? Now add all the new towers being added to the mix. Going to be brutal!

 

[PMT]

Doesn't surprise me that this is a Gupta project, since they own the Holiday Inn currently on the site. Architect is P + S / IBI.

 

[ProjectEnd]

Uninspiring.

 

[sixrings]

beyond boring... hopefully Honda does better.

 

[innsertnamehere]

wouldn't this thing have issues with height limits from Downsview?

 

[PMT]

Yes, it would.

I believe you are referring to Schedule D of former North York Zoning Bylaw 7625 (Airport Hazard Map)

https://www1.toronto.ca/City Of Toronto/City Planning/Community Planning/Files/pdf/D/Existing Airport Hazard Map_1_1.pdf

All of the three major towers (122.35 m, 108.55 m & 99.45 m) are way too high according to the by-law. Planning is going to give them a hard time on this one.

 

[ProjectEnd]

P. 48-49 of the Planning Rationale deals with this. Planning will still doubtless have a fit (nothing new there).

 

[Automation Gallery]

Yes, it would.

Isn't everything else being built in this city TOO HIGH according to its outdated by-laws??

 

[sixrings]

I don't believe it's over downsviews flightpath. so it is not that it can't happen. It just needs to set a precedent
