Graywood Developments and KingSett Capital have made changes to their plan for The Notable, a proposed 50-storey condo located a block southeast of the intersection of Yonge and St Clair in Toronto’s Deer Park neighbourhood. While maintaining the height and storey-count, the Turner Fleischer Architects design decreases the total number of units while proving more large units, shifting away somewhat from smaller investor-oriented units.
The site is an assembly of 29, 31, 33, and 39 Pleasant Boulevard, spanning approximately 1,490m² on the south side of the street. Currently, the western portion of the site remains vacant, while the eastern portion houses a two-storey residential building and a four-storey office building. It is in a well-connected neighbourhood rich with transit options, local amenities, and green spaces.
There have been multiple redevelopment proposals for the site in recent years by various developers. Initial plans from 2016 proposed a 7-storey office building for the site’s western portion. Following a sale of the site in 2019, Gairloch proposed a 34-storey residential tower on the larger, combined site. Then, following Graywood and KingSett's acquisition of the combined site in 2022, plans evolved again, increasing the floor-count slightly to 35 storeys, followed by a total rethink that brought forward the 50-storey plan after the area was declared a Major Transit Station Area — a provincial mandate looking to maximize density near subway and GO stations. City Council approved the 50-storey plan this summer.
Now, Bousfields has resubmitted the Site Plan Approval application to the City of Toronto on behalf of the developers. Still standing at 171.6m, the updated plan drops the unit count from 409 to 375 suites. The new mix would decrease the number of studio units from 49 to 45, and one-bedroom units from 217 to 143, while keeping the number of two-bedroom units the same at 135, and increasing the number of three-bedroom units from 8 to 52.
With fewer but more large suites, the revision also decreases the indoor amenity space from 1,007m² to 935m² but maintains the outdoor amenity space of 460m². The total residential Gross Floor Area (GFA) would slightly increase to 27,722m² for a Floor Space Index (FSI) of 18.60. Four elevators would service the 375 units, or approximately one for every 94 units, indicating reasonable average wait times. Design changes to the building’s exterior include replacing projecting balconies with Juliet balconies, and replacing some aluminum spandrel panel at ground level with brick walls. Also at ground level, the design still includes a 140m² POPS (Privately-Owned Publicly-accessible Space) along its east side and a 151m² public park on the west side.
Below ground, a three-level garage is planned with 46 motor vehicle parking spaces, including 40 for residents, 5 for visitors, and 1 for car sharing. Bicycle parking has decreased from 451 to 414 spaces, with 338 long-term spaces and 76 short-term spaces.
The site is just 50m from St Clair subway station on Yonge Line 1, also served by the St Clair streetcar, Mount Pleasant, and Leaside buses.
The Notable is part of a growing cluster of high-rise development activity in the area. To its west, 11 Pleasant Boulevard is proposed at 19 storeys, 1366 Yonge at 49 storeys, and Yonge & Rosehill and The Hill Condos each at 50 storeys. Southward, construction is underway on the 31-storey Rosehill Tower, while 1303 Yonge would feature two towers at 43 and 47 storeys, with 1233 Yonge planned at 49 storeys. Around the Yonge and St Clair intersection, The Clair is proposed at 34 storeys, while One Delisle is climbing to 44 storeys. St Clair Place proposes four towers ranging 13 to 44 storeys, while 1 and 45 St Clair West propose 49 and 51 storeys, respectively.
