25A. 45 BAY ST
File Number: A1039/14TEY Zoning CR & h(CR) (Waiver)
Ward: Toronto Centre-Rosedale (28)
Property Address: 45 BAY ST Community: Toronto
Legal Description: PLAN 655E PT BLK 6 RP 64R15016 PART 1 PLAN 12164 PT LOT 18 RP 66R24072
PARTS 1 AND 2
PURPOSE OF THE APPLICATION:
To construct a 48-storey office building with a bus terminal at street level integrated into the podium of the
building and access to an open space area bridging the rail corridor to the north.
 
The surface parking lot would replace the current bus terminal once it moves into the podium of 45 Bay. Surface parking would disappear when 141 Bay get developed…

if the surface lot is approved.

I suspect the temporary surface parking lot will be approved (maybe for a fixed period) but it is far smaller than the existing 'bus parking lot' it will replace and the rest of the area will apparently be landscaped. Let's hope that once 45 Bay is underway and the buses move into it the market will be stronga nd encourage a speedy start for the 141 Bay phase.
 
I hope they also have some lighting going up along the building as well. Possibly outlining the diamond shapes along the outside.
