THIS DEVELOPMENT (and small one on cover) are being proposed for 1306- 1310 The Queensway where an auto dealer stood for decades.
Plans are underway to demolish a popular, long-time car wash to build a 14-storey condo on the 875 The Queensway site.
A proposal to convert the former Queensway Car Wash into 183 residential units was adopted by the Etobicoke York Community Council on May 17.
Council at a virtual meeting was also slated to consider two other major building proposals for high-rise condos a block away at 1306 – 1310 and 1045 – 1049 The Queensway, at Kipling Ave.
CONDO slated for the former carwash at 875 The Queensway.
The rectangular 875 The Queensway carwash development is on the south side of The Queensway, just east of Islington Avenue.
The developer, Format Group, is now working on a townhouse project, at 3686 St. Clair E., in Scarborough.
The building application seeks to build a ‘T-shaped’ mid-rise with 149,865 square feet of floor area. There would be a 1,919-square-foot ground floor retail space fronting The Queensway.
THIS COMPLEX is planned for 1045 – 1049 The Queensway.
Architectural drawings depict a 2,335-square-foot outdoor space on the southeast corner of the property that features an outdoor dining area, barbeques and lounge seating. A large outdoor space is being added on the roof of the 14th floor.
Of the 183 units proposed, there would be 131 one-bedroom, 42 two-bedroom and 10 three-bedroom units. There is no completion date listed.
A plan by Marlin Spring Developments was also considered. It proposed a 14-storey, 325-unit condominium for 1045- 1049 The Queensway, just west of Islington Avenue.
That plan allows a minimum of 10 per cent of the units to be three-bedroom units and at least 20 percent of the units are two-bedroom units. Some 330 parking spaces are proposed and spaces would be provided in a three level underground parking garage.
The owner of the site has appealed the Zoning By-law amendment application to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) citing City Council’s failure to make a decision on the application within the time period under the Planning Act.
The building would have a U-shape configuration and would have an approximate separation distance between the interior building faces of 27.6 m with balconies facing each other.
A total of 330 parking spaces are proposed, of which 271 spaces are proposed to be designated for resident parking, 48 spaces would be designated for visitor parking, 6 spaces are for commercial uses, and five spaces will be designated for car-share purposes.
Council will also have to consider a proposal at 1306 -1310 The Queensway, near Kipling Ave.
This proposal of 35, 24 and 10-storey mixed-use condominium buildings, designed by Giannone Petricone Associates for KingSett Capital, is set for the northwest corner of The Queensway and Kipling Avenue.
The site has been occupied by Hyundai and an Audi Queensway car dealership for the last 60 years.
The 2.917-acre site at 1306-1310 The Queensway enjoys a ‘Mixed-Use Area’ designation under Site and Area Specific Policy 455 of the Official Plan, opening up a host of possibilities for the land.
This development consists of two high-rises connected by a shared podium reaching 31 and 24-storeys. There will be 604 residential units giving residents many layouts and suite sizes to choose from.
