Is this going to be another Lamb project?

Should hopefully block much of East United which is great news.

This seemed like an inevitable site to intensify, especially with how everything else in the area is moving in that direction. It's also extra nice whenever a car dealership in an urban setting gets redeveloped.

*Docs are up*

Architect is Giannone + Petricone

This one's got something good going on!

For all of us complaining about condo retail, it's extra funny seeing a car dealership here LOL
"Vibrant urban automotive uses"

 

[dusk]

I love the first few floors of this which is what impacts citizens the most. Overall thumbs up.

I guess a car dealership is the one time big expanses of glass at grade kinda work...

Still would have preferred to see more of the material on the second and third floors on the ground level though, the one area where they did that looks really good.

First time I have ever seen THIS is an Approval Report:

Tree Preservation The application proposes the removal of 13 City owned trees along Berkeley Street and Adelaide Street East. The applicant has proposed to plant 10 replacement trees along these frontages. The applicant is undertaking a "daylighting" exercise to confirm the presence of utilities along these frontages to support the proposed replanting plan. In consultation with Urban Forestry Staff, the Bill will not be introduced for enactment until the daylighting has confirmed that the proposed tree planting can be accommodated. Any alterations to the tree planting program is not expected to alter the location or orientation of the proposed development.

This may be progress and maybe a new 'standard' - far too often developers promise to install trees but when the time comes they find 'oh dear. can't do it due to utilities'. We have seen it on Scott @ 88 Scott, at Time & Space on The Esplanade and elsewhere in recent months.

Good catch................and it would be a good precedent!

indeed, but I imagine that is better secured at the site plan stage, not zoning. Not sure why they are upholding zoning over tree locations which isn't a zoning matter.

Volkswagen are moving out and opening their new location at 380 Front E on Jan 15th
