This is the north side of Ellesmere Road, just east of Victoria Park Avenue, currently home to a small strip plaza with a Beer Store.

An App is into the AIC to turn this into 11-storey Residential.

This one was appealed to the OLT in March of this year.

It is the subject of an Appeals report to the next meeting of Scarborough Community Council.

The report recommends staff attend the OLT in support of a revised submission filed last month.


Statistical summary of changes follows; of note, this one added a floor.

@Art Tsai will be flagged for the DB updates.

Look at that parking ratio..... I totally get this is nowhere near rapid transit, but over 1:1 !

AIC link no longer works for this one. Perhaps Art can add a new one!
 
New information is updated in the database. The storey changed from 11 storey to 12 storey. Height changed from 42.75m to 45.70m. The total car parking changed from 218 car parking to 220 car parking.

No new rendering is added. The info is taken from the arch plan via Rezoning.
 
My son lives in the area. They cancelled the 144 downtown express bus during covid. While I'm all for urban renewal and increasing density, currently adding people here means adding cars to the city's roads in disproportionate numbers. I would like to see some increased master planning focused on transit solutions in the suburbs.

Edit: No issues with the building itself.
