<\/a>Rendering:\u00a0IBI Group Architects<\/em><\/p>\nLocation: 3280 Dufferin Street, North York<\/a><\/em> Earlier this month, a Zoning By Law Amendment application was submitted to city planners<\/a> to build a 14-storey mixed-use building at 3280 Dufferin Street, near the Yorkdale Shopping Centre, one of the city\u2019s most popular malls.<\/p>\n \u201cLocated just a few minutes\u2019 walk from the Yorkdale Shopping Centre, this development brings the best shopping area and the top quality of living environment together,\u201d says the project page<\/a> on Topfar Developments\u2019 website.<\/p>\n The building site in question is located on the northwest corner of Dufferin Street and Orfus Road. Spanning approximately 1.26 acres, the L-shaped property is occupied by one- and two-storey commercial buildings.<\/p>\n\n The application seeks to demolish the two existing structures and replace them with a 14-storey residential building with an eight-storey eastern portion that would house 352 units. The breakdown of the units includes 265 one-bedroom, 52 two-bedroom and 35 three-bedroom suites. According to the application\u2019s project data sheet, all units would be condos.<\/p>\n In addition to the building, a 5,538-square-foot park is included in the proposal to be integrated into the northeast portion of the site. A new publicly-accessible private laneway is planned for the west side of the site to provide access to the building\u2019s underground garage and to act as a north-south connection between Orfus Road and Bentworth Avenue, which is situated north of the development. Future residents will access the building via a residential lobby entrance off Orfus Road and the private laneway.<\/p>\n On the ground floor, two-storey live-work units with front yard landscaping would be constructed to front onto Orfus Road. Three-storey townhomes and a dog relief area would also be built on the north side of the project. The remainder of the ground floor is occupied by a mailroom, indoor-outdoor amenity space adjacent to the public park, and a 2,648-square-foot retail space at the corner of Dufferin Street and Orfus Road.<\/p>\n In the building\u2019s eastern portion, a second indoor and outdoor amenity space would be incorporated on the eight level. A total of 14,498 square feet of amenities is slated for the proposed project.<\/p>\n A two-level underground garage will contain 206 parking spaces plus three car share spots. Throughout the site, 304 bicycle spaces for long- and short-term use would also be added.<\/p>\n In the neighbourhood, registration is open for Marla On The Park Condos<\/a>, while construction continues at The New Lawrence Heights<\/a>.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, a Zoning By Law Amendment application was submitted to city planners to build a 14-storey mixed-use building at 3280 Dufferin Street, near the Yorkdale Shopping Centre, one of the city\u2019s most popular malls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":217713,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2021-06-16T20:28:55Z","apple_news_api_id":"de486428-9da1-43ae-84ec-eb9be90d8511","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2021-06-16T20:28:55Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A3khkKJ2hQ66E7Oub6Q2FEQ","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
