The developer, Tenblock, is also known for its collaboration with Tribute Communities on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/toronto-on\/ys\">Y&amp;S Condos<\/a> near Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue East.<\/p>\n<p>The development site is located at 145 St. George Street on the northeast corner of St. George Street and Prince Arthur Avenue, just north of Bloor Street West. The approximately half-acre lot is occupied by a 12-storey rental apartment building with 130 units, along with surface and underground parking.<\/p>\n\n<p>The proposed tower would house 341 residential units, 130 of which would be rental replacement units for the existing building that occupies the site. According to the application\u2019s project data sheet, the tenure of the remaining 211 suites is undecided at this time. Information on <a href=\"https:\/\/145stgeorge.com\/your-questions\/\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">a developer-made website<\/a> for the 145 St. George Street proposal, which <a href=\"https:\/\/urbantoronto.ca\/forum\/threads\/toronto-145-st-george-98-15m-29s-tenblock-a%E2%80%94a.32324\/page-2\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">was picked up by<\/a> an UrbanToronto forum last week, explains that tenants who live in the building when the application is submitted will have a right to return to one of the new rental replacement units.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSteps away from the St. George Subway Station, this property provides an exciting opportunity for Tenblock to provide new residential units to our growing city and a stronger connection to our public realm,\u201d says the <a href=\"https:\/\/145stgeorge.com\/\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">developer\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/st-george-side.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[217115]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-217120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/st-george-side.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1700\" height=\"1088\" \/><\/a><em>Rendering:\u00a0architectsAlliance<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The breakdown of the 341 residential units would consist of 72 bachelor suites, 196 one-bedroom, 50 two-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom units.<\/p>\n<p>With the residential lobby fronting onto St. George Street, the ground floor would be shared with a 2,121-square-foot indoor amenity space, pet wash facilities, and five residential units facing Prince Arthur Avenue that will each have a private outdoor terrace. A pet run and play area with a canopy would be located at the north side of the building, which would be contiguous with the Privately Owned Publicly Accessible space slated for the lot\u2019s southwest corner. A public art feature, seating areas and landscaping would also be incorporated into the POPs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/st-george-ariel.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[217115]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-217118\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/st-george-ariel.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"997\" \/><\/a><em>Rendering:\u00a0architectsAlliance<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Additional indoor and outdoor amenity space would be included on the tower\u2019s eighth level with screens and \u201cdense planters\u201d to provide privacy from adjacent buildings. Approximately 13,278 square feet of amenity area is said to be included in the new building.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal also calls for 90 vehicle parking spaces, along with 345 bicycle parking spots, in a two-level underground garage.<\/p>\n<div id='pressboard-ad-sponsorship-msg'><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An apartment building located just a few minutes\u2019 walk from
