A decision is expected this month in the fate
of a Long Branch megacondo project and the
relocation of more than 500 tenants who now
live in low rise apartments on the site.
Five residential towers have been proposed by
Promenade Co-Tenancy in an application filed
with the city in mid-April, which seeks to
redevelop 220, 230, and 240 Lake Promenade,
and 21 and 31 Park Boulevard, opposite Long
Branch Park and gazebo.
The five seven-storey buildings will be
demolished and rebuilt by two 12-storey
rental buildings, a 14-storey condo and a
30-storey condo building with two 30-storey towers sitting
on a six storey podium. There are ongoing meetings to
stop or curb the project and more than 100 residents
showed up for a site visit on July 15 attended by Councillor

Amber Morley, city planners and the developer.
Christine Mercado, of Long Branch Neighbourhood
Association, said city officials have 30 days to make a
decision, which can be appealed.
“This is a very divisive issue in the
community,”Mercado said. “We are
concerned about the relocation of tenants in
the 548 units as the construction takes place”.
She said many of the tenants are seniors, who
have been living there for a long time, some
as long as 50 years.
Resident and an organizer Patti Pokorchak
said more than 765 residents have signed a
petition and in excess of $1,500 collected on
a Go Fund Me page to fight the development.
Pokorchak said 97 units, or around 200
tenants, at 21 Park Blvd will be temporarily relocated as
developers tear that down and double the size of the
building. There will be a total of 2,021 suites, of which
1,444 would be market condo suites.
