A mega condo development that will provide more than 800 residential units and dozens of stores is being planned for the Kipling and Queensway Aves. area.
A proposal is being considered on July 14 at Etobicoke York Community Council and is expected to get a green light.
Council will vote if a parcel of land at 1306 to 1310 The Queensway, on the north-west corner of Kipling Ave., should be deemed residential for the construction of the development to begin.
Architect Giannone Petridcone Associates says the 1306 The Queensway Condos “will be unlike anything we have ever seen.”
“The development will be built in all white materials,” the architects say on their website. “The first six floors will have dark brown panels and tinted visors on the sixth floor to protect residents from the sun.”
The complex will feature two high-rises connected by shared podiums reaching 31 and 24-storeys.
A total of 845 residential units are proposed, comprised of: 95 studio units; 491 one-bedroom units; 167 two-bedroom units; and 92 three-bedroom units.
Tower A will be 31-storeys high and face The Queensway and Tower B will be 24-storeys and overlook Kipling Ave. according to the plan.
The developer, KingSett Capital is known for creating residential suits that offer space and the most modern features and finishes which give residents the chance to enjoy a high-end living experience.
The application also proposes a public park at the southeast corner of the site, a stratified park and landscaped courtyard.
The site consists of two lots that are each occupied by a 1-storey commercial building used for an automobile dealership.
A total of 835 parking spaces would be located, of which 709 are proposed for resident use and 126 for commercial and visitor parking. A total of 636 bicycle parking spaces are proposed.
The plan will have to have to undergo input from the community in public meetings.
The units are expected to begin in the $400,000 price range, according to realtors.
