COMMUNITY MEETING
Wednesday, January 12th, 2010
Time: 7pm
Location: St. Lawrence Hall
157 King Street East (southwest corner of King and Jarvis)
3rd Floor, East Room
Planning application for: 424 - 460 ADELAIDE STREET EAST
Site
The subject property is flat and essentially rectangular in shape, oriented in an east-west
direction, located at the northwest corner of Adelaide Street East and Ontario Street. It is 0.43
hectares (1.06 acres) in size with approximate
dimensions of 72 metres along Adelaide Street
East and 60 metres along Ontario Street.
At present, the western half of the site is
occupied by a two-storey, yellow-brick
warehouse building housing a post-production
film company. The eastern half of the site is a
surface parking lot. There are 12 existing trees
in the vicinity of the property, six smaller trees
on the property and six within the City’s
landscaped right-of-way along the Ontario
Street frontage.
Proposal
Larino Holding Corp., a subsidiary of the Greenpark Group, is the owner of the subject property
at 424-460 Adelaide Street East. They are proposing a residential condominium development
consisting of two towers (19 and 17 storeys), above a podium ranging in height from one to nine
storeys. Overall, the project is proposing 34,289 square meters of residential gross floor area,
which equates to a floor space index of 7.95 times the lot area. A total of of 480 units are
proposed, with a mix of 59 bachelor (12%), 357 one-bedroom (75%) and 64 two-bedroom (13%)
units. Eight loft units are proposed along the eastern edge of the property, with direct pedestrian
access to Ontario Street.

does 424 include the parking lot to the west?
460 looks like it's the east parking lot from google maps, but i can't see the site being wide enough to accommodate 2 squat towers, unless the image has been squished ?!?

The bases remind me of the rustic warehouses along King between Spadina and Bathurst. If they use real brick and add some fine details and good materials, this could actually turn out pretty nice. Maybe there's hope for Greenpark after all.

Awkward, ugly and boring.

On one hand, this condo is unremarkable, even bad. On the other hand, Greenpark, the developer, used to build nothing but semi-detached and detached sprawl in the outer 905 as recently as 6 years ago. The fact that they got into the downtown condo business shows how much of a sea change the GTA's development industry has made in the past decade. In the US, and in sprawling Canadian cities, they say that we build sprawl because developers don't know how to build anything else. One day, pretty soon, Toronto developers won't know how to build anything besides high density condo projects, and that might just be the end of sprawl.

In the absence of an historical facade, they invented one. The building does not have unity - awkward is an understatement.
