A developer has been acquiring properties along the north side of Soudan east from Redpath. I was wondering if there is any info on this?

Who wants to bet it's Freed?

Here's a fresh proposal for Yonge and Eglinton, fronting onto three side streets.

Properties include
71-71 Redpath Avenue
174-200 Soudan Avenue
18 Brownlow Avenue

Just saw the development sign go up on Redpath with the details. Two rental towers 17 and 22 stories, plus retaining the existing rental building on 18 Brownlow. This one's next door to the newer tower and townhomes that went up on Redpath in 2010: http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/thread...21s-the-benvenuto-group-sweeny-co.4065/page-5

Despite the notice saying 22 and 17 storeys on a 3 storey base, the image looks like that's a 5-storey base. It's an early massing study and all, but that undifferentiated podium face (other than the black hole halfway along) is not going to go over well with the people living on the other side of Soudan.

Here's what's currently on site

And the existing rental tower on the right

There a thread already for it as I posted photos in it this summer.

 

[Atlantis]

Ah I was wondering if there was an existing thread, but didn't come up with anything when I did a search. Maybe interchange42 can merge the two.

I haven't been able to find anything. If anyone locates it, let me know!

I can't find it in the Midtown thread either, and I was pretty sure I got all existing threads of developments in the area as of the last edit date (Jan 2015).

Does this project include the townhouses built as part of 83 Redpath?

 

[Atlantis]

Actually this project sits immediately to the south of the townhomes built as part of 83 Redpath, so it doesn't include them in its proposal.

Something I just noticed about this project, it is proposing a 1:1 ratio between rental units and bicycle parking spaces.

I'm confused as to why and how developers are able to build high rises on these small neighbourhood streets lined with detached 2 storey homes in this area yet right downtown there are so many major arterial roads like Bathurst, Dufferin, etc that continue to be lined with dilapidated detached Victorians. Are there different bylaws in place in various areas? I though neighbourhoods like the one pictured above would fall into the city's "stable neighbourhoods" category...

Soudan is right near Yonge & Eglinton, which is zoned much differently than Bathurst.

different designations. I believe the area is designated "apartment neighbourhoods" despite the lowrise housing currently there. The south side of the street is "neighborhoods", and this wouldnt be permitted.

Hence the fight over the Art Shoppe site.
