<\/a><\/p>\nRendering: Planning rationale, Bousfields Inc.<\/em><\/p>\n Location: 1801 Eglinton Avenue West, York<\/a><\/em> York\u2019s Fairbank neighbourhood could be the site of a future high-rise project.<\/p>\n In July, a zoning by-law amendment application<\/a> was submitted to city planners to develop a 30-storey mixed-use tower with 284 residential units and retail space at 1801 Eglinton Avenue West. The Toronto-based developer behind the proposal, Kingsett Capital, is leading several other major city developments, including St. Clair Village Condos<\/a> and Two St. Thomas.<\/p>\n The 21,215-square-foot site in question is located on the south side of Eglinton Avenue West, just east of Dufferin Street. Two three-storey buildings currently occupying the site \u2014 1801 and 1807 Eglinton Avenue West \u2014 would be demolished, according to the planning rationale prepared by Bousfields Inc.<\/p>\n\n Retail units, including a pharmacy, medical clinic and Tim Hortons, and residential apartments fill 1801 Eglinton Avenue West, while a former McDonalds and more apartments occupy 1807 Eglinton Avenue West. The development would neighbour the Fairbank station on the future Eglinton Crosstown Line, which is currently under construction.<\/p>\n \u201cGiven the underutilized nature of the subject site, its immediate proximity to planned higher order transit, and its location within an important city corridor where intensification is anticipated, its redevelopment takes advantage of an opportunity to create a transit-supportive mixed-use development,\u201d explains the planning rationale.<\/p>\n Rendering: Planning rationale, Bousfields Inc.<\/em><\/p>\n Spanning 243,587 square feet of total gross floor area, the development would include a four-storey podium element on the north side of the lot, and a one-storey podium on the south side. Retail space would be constructed on the ground floor fronting onto Eglinton Avenue West. Adjacent to the retail area, a 3,000 square-foot business innovation centre with a seperate entrance and the residential lobby would be incorporated. The second level of the building would allow for both indoor and outdoor amenity space. A total of 12,227 square feet worth of amenity area is proposed for the development.<\/p>\n The proposed tower\u2019s 284 residential suites would be broken down into 168 one-bedroom, 88 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom units. A three-level underground parking garage would house 53 parking spaces, along with 285 bicycle spots, the majority of which would be for long-term resident use.<\/p>\n In the neighbourhood, registration is open on 8 Haus Boutique Condos<\/a>, while sales continue on Empire Midtown.<\/a><\/p>\n In July, a zoning by-law amendment application was submitted to city planners to develop a 30-storey mixed-use tower with 284 residential units and retail space at 1801 Eglinton Avenue West.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":206719,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2020-08-13T13:00:19Z","apple_news_api_id":"47508a39-10c0-4c5a-abc5-27f411bda2a3","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2020-08-13T13:00:19Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AR1CKORDATFqrxSf0Eb2iow","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"middle","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":["https:\/\/u48r14.digitalhub.com\/sections\/09b86915-7d2b-3acd-915b-b215002d01b7"],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11108],"tags":[11121,11122,11119],"coauthors":[10332],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n
