The City has received an application to amend the Zoning By-Law to permit a new 28-storey residential building (95.2 metres) with 399 residential units and 148 vehicular parking spaces in a 2-level underground parking garage.

Please visit the Site's Application Information Centre website at https://aic.to/32RaglanAve for more information.
 
Commentary: What a useless park. Enlarging Humewood Park nearby would have a been a wiser choice.
Curious what the development next door has for park space. I remember the rational at the SAC meetings was that the park would be expanded north if 40 Raglan was redeveloped. My suggestion at the time was to narrow Raglan, as it's so overbuilt, and provide an expanded grass area wide enough for trees and a few benches. There is ~3 meters of completely wasted space. ~5.5 if you were bold and got rid of parking. Wouldn't be good for very many uses,, but it would add more than 2k square meters of space for trees in exchange for no reduction of road capacity. The prospect of narrowing a road seemed to be a non starter.

Glad to see a retail spot and some live work on the laneway. hopefully that starts a trend.

40 Raglan is being re-developed (or is proposed to be) and does indeed include a park space proposal that is meant to run contiguous to this one.

Front Page story is below:

When combining the two, you would get 420m2 of park.

Certainly better.

But still not very functional. That's almost dead on 1 acre. Big enough for a small playground, but not much more.

Excellent suggestion. I whole-heartedly support that.

Too often is......

Meh... why do we make condos like this still???

I can't wait to "graduate" as a developer from single family/townhomes to condos which has been a dream of mine for a while... and just watch the condos I put together... colour, stone/glass, shape, etc. make or break a building.. I don't care about height at all. My target clients would be people that want to live in condos yet have the space of a single family residential without the $30m+ price tag of 2 floor/4 bedroom condos. Every single area would have emphasis put on from garbage, elevators, entrance, parking, etc. Condos nowadays just seem like a "tall" rushed project with colours you scratch your head about.

Sorry for the rant, LOL. Just getting annoyed with these buildings. No creativity, modernization, high tech, found at all.
 
Madison appears to be hinting that this condo will be launched in 2023:

“We’re also doing a lot of work in midtown in the Bathurst and St. Clair area and the Yonge and Eglinton area,” said Zagdanski. “Bathurst and St. Clair is working toward a launch in 2023.
