The site is bounded by Eglinton Avenue West to the north, Bathurst Street to the east, a commercial two-storey building (2016 Bathurst Street) and public laneway to the south and Peveril Hill North to the west. The development, in its completed form, will consist of 333 dwelling units with ground-floor retail and a two-level underground parking garage for approximately 201 vehicles.
A detailed review of the construction schedule was undertaken by the developer to minimize the project duration and impacts of the construction on all road users. Based on the information provided by the developer, the entire site will be excavated lot line to lot line on all four sides.
