A curious lil' app for a new, 7s residential build at the angled intersection of Kingston Road and Lawrence.

Site as is (Aerial)

The App:

Application Details

app.toronto.ca

From the Docs:

Ground Floor Plan.......... 1 residential unit at-grade. (dunno about that)

@ProjectEnd might be amused by the level of detail shown on the unit layout plans:

Project Stats:

Elevator ratio 3.84 elevators per 100 units; ( 3 elevators, 78 units)

Parking ratio .82

Comments: Height should be an easy sell. Elevator ratio is the highest in recent memory, Parking ratio is very high, while one might expect higher in a very suburban area, this really seems too high to me.
One residential unit at-grade seems poorly thought out to me, better to re-gig the main level for 2 retail units.

This is an outrage. How can one propose such trash at a perfect flatiron corner?

I knew that was coming!

You need a building that blends in with the area lol!

It's amusingly bad as there's actually thought that went into it. The side that is the flatiron point also strangely reminds of those tuxedo t-shirts.

LOL what the hell is this…the International Clothiers of condos

What a baffling design and complete waste of a flatiron site, as has been noted. The seating area doesn't seem well thought out either; that would be a very unpleasant place to linger, surrounded by a concrete hellscape and 6 lanes of traffic on every side.

A spot for all the homeless that frequent the intersection to lounge/live

Lets acknowledge, up front, the problems w/this proposal.

That said, the homeless do indeed need somewhere to live, and I'm thinking it should be a home.

If people are choosing to sit/lie beside that intersection, society has a great deal to answer for (which lets be honest, it does)

Let's not do this.

Sorry guys wasn’t trying to start anything. I frequent this area daily and see all the homeless people begging in the streets, that’s what my comment was in regards too, nothing more
