Proposal​

Applications (City File OPA-20-008/P, A 13/20) for Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment have been submitted by Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc. for the lands located on the northwest corner of Kingston Road and Brock Road, municipally known at 1970 Brock Road.

The applicant is proposing a high-density mixed-use development containing 860 residential units and 1,430 square metres of commercial floor space. Multiple buildings are proposed including a mixed-use building containing two towers (34 and 31 storeys in height) connected by a 6-storey podium structure with commercial space on the ground floor. A 12-storey mid-rise residential building and 25, 3-storey townhouses are proposed north of the towers.

The property includes a stone building designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (Post Manor), which is proposed to be moved to the northerly portion of the site fronting Brock Road. Vehicular access to the development is proposed via two right-in/right-out driveways from Brock Road and Kingston Road.

1) Competent'ish, if bland

2) Retail, if present, at-grade is lost, that level needs a re-think in relation to those immediately above it.

3) 12-storey feels like greedy shoe-horning

so odd seeing something so large here. I used to drive through this intersection all the friggen time growing up, it was about as solidly suburban as you get. Never pictured anything this large here.

The tower heights here have been reduced to 30 & 12-storeys and commercial/retail space has been added. 2 blocks of 3.5-storey townhouses are also included as well as a 2-storey heritage building (Post Manor, c. 1842).

Planning and development approved this evening unanimously. I think I overheard plans to use heritage site as potential art gallery/studio.

Right? Growing up the tallest building I remember was the office building next to the mall. Think of the great view of the power plant you'll have from the top floors of this thing!
