<\/a>Rendering:\u00a0Diamond Schmitt Architects<\/em><\/p>\nLocation: 88 Isabella Street, Toronto<\/a><\/em> Toronto\u2019s Church and Wellesley<\/a> area has seen its fair share of high-rise towers.<\/p>\n The downtown neighbourhood is a hotspot for new tall buildings, and is currently home to 14 new high-rise projects across all phases of development according to data from BuzzBuzzhome. This includes the iconic 75-storey One Bloor Tower<\/a> and The Gloucester on Yonge<\/a>, previously one of the three Toronto condo towers that went into receivership under Cresford Developments that was later relaunched by Concord Adex.<\/p>\n\n Thanks to a recent development application, the Church and Wellesley region could welcome another high-rise tower into its mix.<\/p>\n In late April, a site plan approval and zoning by-law amendment application was submitted<\/a> to the City of Toronto to construct a 62-storey residential tower with 751 units at 88 Isabella Street. The developer, Capital Developments, has worked on other high-rise projects across the city, including 11 Yorkville<\/a> and Art Shoppe Lofts + Condos<\/a>.<\/p>\n The development site is located on the north side of Isabella Street just east of Church Street and west of Jarvis Street. The rectangular lot is currently occupied by a 14-storey residential rental apartment building, which would be demolished.<\/p>\n The new tower would rise 62 storeys \u2014 a little over 203 metres \u2014 with a six-storey brick and limestone podium building. The tower\u2019s ground floor would include a 187 square-metre daycare facility with an outdoor space and a residential lobby, both of which can be accessed via separate entrances off of Isabella Street. The remainder of the ground floor would include indoor and outdoor amenity areas, a mailroom and an office. According to the tower\u2019s planning documents, no retail space appears to be included in the proposed development.<\/p>\n In the site\u2019s southeast corner, the proposed development would deliver a 207 square-metre parkland dedication. About 2,261 square metres of amenity space is slated for the tower on the ground and mezzanine levels, plus floors seven and eight.<\/p>\n Of the total 751 units proposed for the tower, 82 would be set aside as rental replacement residences. The breakdown of the suites includes 21 studios, 378 one-bedroom, 204 two-bedroom and 66 three-bedroom suites. The units would range from approximately 301 to 829 square feet in size.<\/p>\n Access to the high-rise\u2019s three-level underground parking garage and loading area would be provided by a driveway connected to Al Sparrow Lane. A total of 106 spaces are planned for the site, including 752 bicycle parking spaces for long- and short-term use, a portion of which would be available on the tower\u2019s mezzanine level.<\/p>\n In the neighbourhood, registration is open for \u200b\u200b55C Condos<\/a>, while construction continues on JAC Condos<\/a>.<\/p>\n Thanks to a recent development application, the Church and Wellesley region could welcome another high-rise tower into its mix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":224661,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2022-05-18T16:44:54Z","apple_news_api_id":"3fac71cd-9d44-4b30-a802-465303184083","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2022-05-18T16:44:54Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AP6xxzZ1ESzCoAkZTAxhAgw","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":[11121,11119,11111],"coauthors":[10332],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n
