Just checked, the order on this app is not yet public on E-Status.
 
Highlights from NRU :

"After filing an appeal in March, 2021, 6 Dawes Danforth engaged in mediation with the City leading to the submission of a settlement offer that was accepted by city council in October.

The settlement consists of a revised proposal for four buildings with heights of 17, 29, 37 and 39 storeys, containing a total of 1,304 residential units and 140 m2 of non-residential uses.

A portion of a new east-west public street will be dedicated to the City through the development approval process, and the site plan includes a future passenger pick-up/drop-off for Danforth GO station.

A 1,400 m2 of parkland dedication is included, in addition to a 503 m2 privately-owned public space that could potentially provide a future pedestrian linkage to the GO station."
 
I eat my words on the 6 Dawes proposal. I did not think that the setback from the rail and proposed crash wall would be acceptable. I wonder how thick it will be as the VIA flies by here. I would like to see the details of it.
 
A bit of digging............

The settlement offer was discussed in confidence in the fall at Council; that report is now public.

I would assume the order of the OLT looks pretty similar.

Comment, odd on the parkland dedication; would have made more sense to me to do a combined park with the Canadian Tire and 10 Dawes sites at 3x the size.
 
Is Carlyle just a flipping outfit now? I hope they bring their St. Clair West site to life and don't just sell it.

Regardless, nice to see this in good hands - a good conclusion overall with quality rental coming to life here. When can we have an Urban Toronto Storage Wars and bid on the left-behind storage locker contents?
 


The site, which is currently operating as a self-storage facility, has been rezoned for high-rise residential use by Slate, together with Carlyle Communities, and will be developed by Fitzrovia into a premier rental community comprising approximately 1,000 Class-A residential units.

-------
Fitzrovia will implement a variety of ESG initiatives across the site including a significant public park with enhanced connectivity to the neighbourhood, water re-use and retention programs, lower window-to-wall ratios to reduce energy consumption and will target a minimum of LEED Gold certification.

The transaction closed in February 2022. Fitzrovia expects to complete the development in early 2026.
 
The new site plan drawings have been uploaded on city website. Not a fan of the redesign. IMO the previous design was more organic and had some character. I don't see much detail on the design on the streetscape in the new drawings which I think is essential to this project.

As compared to the settlement offer discussed above, this one has had a material reduction in unit count; from 1,304 to 897 as per the Cover Letter

Heights are now 30, 39 and 38 which is different than the offer, though similar but for the absence of the 4th building. That's the key, the 4th building is now listed as 'future tower' as is not part of this SPA

Site now includes a Montessori School.
