The latest project from Phantom is a 50/50 partnership with Graywood Developments on the 34-storey, 489-unit JAC Condos on the site of a former heritage home at 314 Jarvis St.

Phantom purchased the site in June 2018 and started looking for a development partner. Graywood was approached and a deal was reached in a month, according to Strasser.

“They’re very good and have a construction arm, and our expertise is more on the sales, marketing and development side,” he said.

Despite a fire late last year, the facade of the original 1902 Beaux Arts heritage house on the site was saved and will be integrated into a recreation of the original structure. It will merge with a new podium and tower designed by Turner Fleischer.

The new-build podium will be clad in brick and feature the building lobby, complete with an outdoor courtyard, fireside lounge and a gallery space. The restored heritage house will feature the original north and east sides, with the rest being rebuilt.

The house will feature amenities including: a technology lounge; a coffee bar; a library; flex spaces for working and learning; a serenity room; a yoga studio; a gaming and movie room; a bar; a multi-purpose room; and an arts and crafts studio.

A private laneway behind the house will feature dedicated bicycle parking and direct access to the building.

Strasser said JAC Condos sales were opened early to the brokerage community and “family and friends.”

Ideally he’d like to see a brisk initial 75 per cent sell-through, allowing construction to start next March or April, with occupancy in early 2024.

New downtown JAC Condos designed to bridge ‘disconnect’ between developer and residents

The builders opened the floor to ideas from students at nearby Ryerson University. Their suggestions for quiet areas, green spaces and places to gathe...

“What caught us unaware was their need for quiet space,” said Pattison. “Obviously, with Ryerson being downtown, there’s a lot of hustle and bustle. Students wanted to come home and switch off.

“So, we created a quiet library space, and included meditation rooms and a yoga studio where people can go and pray, or switch off and work by themselves, and have quiet contemplative spaces.” The students also prioritized outdoor space and three outdoor areas are now included in the design: a ground-level area connected to the co-working space and coffee bar, plus rooftop spaces on the seventh and eighth floors with views overlooking Allan Gardens.

“Coffee shops are very important to students — they like to sit there and use their laptops, so they needed a power source and USB ports. They wanted places that are open late at night,” added Pattison.

Those social-area amenities will be in the part of the condo project whose design will incorporate a recreated 1902 Beaux Arts mansion. The heritage building originally on the site was damaged by fires in 2016 and 2019, leaving only two walls safely intact. The recreated heritage house will be integrated with JAC’s podium and tower, and will house a technology lounge, coffee bar, library, flex spaces for working and studying, a serenity room, yoga studio, gaming and movie room, bar, arts and crafts studio and multi-purpose room.

Alterations to a Designated Heritage Property and Amendment of a Heritage Easement Agreement - 314 Jarvis Street

This item will be considered by Toronto and East York Community Council on February 24, 2021. It will be considered by City Council on March 10, 2021, subject to the actions of the Toronto and East York Community Council.


Summary​
This report recommends that City Council approve the alterations proposed for the Dr. Charles Sheard House at 314 Jarvis Street (designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act), in connection with the development of the subject property and that Council grant authority to amend the existing Heritage Easement Agreement for the subject property.

The Dr. Charles Sheard House was damaged extensively by two fires. The remaining portions of the building will be retained and the missing portions will be reconstructed. A rear addition will connect the heritage building to a 34-storey mixed-use building to the west with a ten-storey base fronting onto Jarvis Street.​
 
This one has a Request for Direction report going to the April 7, 2021 meeting of City Council.

Apparently the plans have been sufficiently revised to require a formally amended LPAT settlement, amongst other things.
