Look @PMT with the big scoop. I saw this one at 2am......and went to post....and realized I'd been beaten to the punch!
Now that I'm quasi awake......... let me fill out some details..........
First............this one seeks to replace an existing 10-storey office tower.
PMT covered the renders in the proposal.
Let me add:
The Site Plan:
The Ground Floor Plan:
The Stats:
Description:
Elevators: 12 across the two buildings with 1,313 units or 1 elevator per 109.4 units.
****
Notable is on parks is the on-site dedication which is tiny, but which would add to an existing dedication and allow for the Willowdale trail to extend south to Sheppard. Note that this route passes directly over the buried Wilket Creek.
You can see the existing dedication here in this aerial view, and it would grow to the west/left with this proposal:
Unfortunately, the total setaside does not appear to leave sufficient space to daylight the creek, at least not with a walking trail too.
@Paclo
One final note..........I don't see any affordable housing in a proposal that seeks to tear down a 10s office tower, on a road with subway no less......... @HousingNowTO will want a word with the proponent here.

NOTED : The ZERO office retention means that we would be looking for 20% of the Required Office GFA in the new building to be instead delivered as "Affordable Rental Housing" for minimum of 50-years.
Thx!

Word is the PAC on this rightly went like shit. This is straight to OLT, do not pass go, do not collect whatever it is you thought you were collecting...

Looks like nobody has plans to build on the south side of Sheppard East .
Is it a zoning issue or hard to accuire land ?

There's a short building right across the street (on what's known as "Leona Drive" from this that is boarded up and being advertised as a new condo development.
On the east side of that street there's a short office building and the street dead-ends to whatever that parkette (sliver?) is before it transitions to the other side of Leona Drive

err,… there’s a park at south side,… while CityPlanning won’t protect Single Residential House Neighbourhood with its previous 45-degree angular plane rule to limit height and shadowing onto Single Residential House Neighbourhood,… the will protect City Parks,.. well, at least for now,…

Re-Zoning application notice went up last week on the Kenneth side of the building. It's a very temporary sign being held in place by two "bucket" concrete feet.
Lots of repairs being done to the "tiles" at the front of the building that got all smashed up from winter and the core-drilling they did.

There’s no 45 degree angular plane rule for parks.

Of course there is shadowing/sun protection; but that would be moot where the park is located south of the development in question.
There is, in this case supposed to be a narrow strip of green {park) to the east; but that's already shadowed from the west by the existing building, and it gets some sun from the south.

Even that doesn’t really exist anymore. An applicant just needs to show that ‘shadow has been mitigated’ - not that net new shadow is avoided as previously used for shadow protected parks. (Which of course, this one isn’t)
