Choice Properties is the owner of the entire site; all phases.

They are a Loblaws-affliated company, spun off to manage the supermarket properties for maximum commercial value.

Nevermind. I thought that retail was something left over from the current site. I see it's part of the new build. Regardless, I don't see why they couldn't tuck the grocery store and retail beside it into a podium and squeeze a few more towers on the site. Seems odd to have those low density bits when the rest of the site is so high.
 
The Victoria Park-Eglinton Parkette hold a lot of potential as a future focal point - especially if they can improve the Eglinton Square redevelopment plans and densify the western edge along Vic Park further - to "bound" the space.

Density and Mixed Use Coming to the Golden Mile | UrbanToronto

In September, 2020 Choice Properties REIT submitted a revised Official Plan Amendment application to the City of Toronto for a mixed-use redevelopment of the Golden Mile Shopping Centre at Eglinton and Victoria Park. The area will soon be served by the Crosstown LRT, so significant redevelopment...

So..........

This one is back before Council...............again.


There's apparently still one disputed matter outstanding, and staff require confidential direction as to how to address it, either in advance of, or before LPAT.

Since it's confidential, I'm not sure what's at issue.

Apparently the application was incomplete into the fall, notice of complete application was only done in December.

Docs are updated as at October 26, 2020.

I'm not going through them all, again, on an Easter egg hunt!

This can either go pretty well, or can transform into a disaster a la Lighthouse Condos.

Choice Properties Real Estate Investment Trust and The Daniels Corporation Partner on First Phase of Golden Mile Shopping Centre Redevelopment in Toronto

Choice Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (“Choice Properties”) (TSX: CHP.UN) announced today a new partnership with The Daniels Corporation (“Da
www.businesswire.com

The partnership will see the two industry leaders transform the 67-year-old shopping centre into a mixed-use, mixed-income, multi-generational and transit-oriented community. Phase One will include two condominium towers, a purpose-built market rental building, ground floor retail uses, institutional uses and office spaces. All of these uses will surround a pedestrian mews that will create a vibrant new gateway to the Golden Mile community.

Choice Properties and Daniels are poised to kick-start this transformation through the introduction of the Golden Mile Community Innovation District. Working hand-in-hand with community organizations, Local Councillor, financial and post-secondary educational institutions, the Community Innovation District will bring together the wisdom, expertise and best practices of all stakeholders. Among the collaborators are the University of Toronto Scarborough (“UTSC”) and Centennial College.

UTSC will be creating a physical home in Phase One for an innovative, collaborative, and integrated college-community-university partnership - the Communiversity. Through this unique concept of the Communiversity, UTSC and Centennial College would work with community partners to enhance access to post-secondary education, foster co-learning opportunities, and facilitate the co-creation of sustainable and inclusive communities. The UTSC Institute for Globalization, Transnationalism and the Advancement of Resilient and Inclusive Suburbs and Economies (GTA-RISE) will serve as an intellectual hub where faculty, staff, students and community members will explore issues and share ideas that stimulate inclusive cultural and socio-economic development.

Centennial College has a rich history of supporting the Scarborough community, including the Golden Mile area, with its Ashtonbee Campus which opened in 1968. The Campus currently serves close to 5,000 students each academic year and is home to the School of Transportation (one of the largest automotive training centres in Canada), as well as programming from the School of Community and Health Studies. Centennial will partner with UTSC’s Communiversity to create program pathways and unique training opportunities to support the vision of the Community Innovation District.

Additional Innovation District collaborations include a 9,000 square foot state-of-the-art BMO branch, representing a landmark for financial services for the Greater Golden Mile community. This flagship branch will serve as a hub for helping entrepreneurs finance new businesses, assisting customers with growing their financial literacy, and connecting members of the community with the financial products and services that enable them to make real financial progress.

A 9000 sq foot BMO branch, how exciting!

Also “Communiversity” has to be some kind of new low in marketing buzz words.
