Many of us still like this outdoor plaza because it is quick.
A plan to redevelop Six Points Plaza to build six mixed-use condo towers is working its way through the application process.
The project by Liberty Development is an ambitious venture that will feature six high-rise buildings ranging from eight to 45 storeys on the plaza site, at 5230 Dundas Street W., the northeast corner of Dundas Street W., and Jopling Avenue South.
Six Points Plaza Redevelopment will feature a 45, 43, 41, 36, 25 and 8-storey condo towers designed by IBI Group.
The condos will accommodate some 2,387 residential units, along with commercial spaces, and promises to be a significant transformation of the area.
Liberty Development has resubmitted Zoning By-law and Official Plan Amendment applications for the Six Points Plaza Redevelopment, the original versions of which were submitted to the City in 2021.
The community is proposed to have a public greenspace located at Jopling Avenue South and Dundas Street West.
The plaza which is believed to be built in the 1960s has undergone hard times in recent years.
The site is designated Major Transit Station Area, with a goal of fewer cars as called for by a City of Toronto Official Plan. There will be two two levels of underground garage with 741 parking spots, with 129 spots for visitors.
There will also be 1,838 bicycle parking spots, with 195 for visitors.
The builders boast that the site, described as a communal hub, is within walking distance of Kipling Station, where residents have access to GO Bus and transportation downtown and beyond.
The massive redevelopment would include four blocks consisting of high-density and medium-density buildings as well as parkland, on the property that is located on the south side of Bloor Street West, between Jopling Avenue South and Beamish Drive, and north of Dundas Street West.
The site is a block and a half west of Kipling Avenue, across from which a new Etobicoke Civic Centre is to be built at the Six Points Interchange.
The towers, when completed will be surrounded by other high-rise development applications, which include 4 to 8 Beamish Drive, which would see a residential tower rising to 35 storeys atop a four-storey podium, consisting of 329 units .
There is also another development at 8 tp 14 Jopling Avenue South, which proposes two towers of 35 and 38-storeys, with 697 residential units, and 306 parking spaces. Also proposed is a building at 5238 to 5243 Dundas Street W., which plans a tower rising to 41-storeys atop a 3-storey podium along, consisting of 378 residential units.
A massive 55 storey building is also planned at 5359 Dundas Street W., at Dundas St. W., and Subway Crescent, metres away from the Kipling subway.
