I am very pleased to see this eyesore re-developed on a street that desperately needs it (with underground parking!).

Link to Urban Design Brief

Our client is proposing the development of a five (5) storey mixed-use development with 40 dwelling units above the ground floor and three (3) commercial units on the ground floor. The vision of this development is to provide a mixed-use development on underutilized and vacant lands that is both pedestrian and transit-oriented within an identified Community Node.

In terms of the residential units, 40 dwelling units above the ground floor are being proposed from floors 2 to 5. More specifically, there will be a total of 10 dwelling units per floor, with a mix of five (5) one-bedroom plus den units and five (5) two-bedroom units. Based on the lot area of 2,962 m2, the proposed development contemplates a maximum density of 135 units per hectare. Each dwelling unit includes a private balcony, which are proposed for units facing Dundas Street South and the rear yard. Common amenity space for the proposed residential units is located in the basement of the proposed development, which includes a games room, gym, and party room.

The proposed development includes 69 parking which includes four (4) spaces allocated for barrier-free parking. This includes two (2) Type “A” accessible parking space and two (2) Type “B” accessible parking spaces. The proposed development also features one (1) level of underground parking, with an access located to the rear of the subject property. There are 33 underground parking spaces (including 2 barrier free spaces) and 36 surface parking spaces (including 2 barrier free spaces) along the rear and eastern limit of the property are being proposed.

The proposed development also contemplates the inclusion of six (6) short-term bicycle storage spaces in the front yard. In order to support the function of the commercial units, one (1) loading space is proposed internal to the building located in the southeast corner of the proposed building.

40 new dwelling units, with no increase in paved-over land. We need more of this.

And it really does sound like actual rental units - sad that it's so notable but I'm happy to see it!

Oh thank the redevelopment Gods! This is definitely and eye-sore that needs to be levelled. Love the underground parking, and love the increase in rentals. Could be a little taller and I wouldn’t be offended.

After watching the public meeting video today from city council, it looks like the developer representative specifically said these will be condominium units. That's a bit of a change from what I originally read on this project, so we'll see how it turns out.
