Major traffic congestion feared on Royal York Rd. as four condos planned

February 17, 2025 by Toronto Newswire

Twelve storey apartment building planned at 464 Royal York Road.

Royal York Road is a two-lane roadway that is slated to undergo world-class traffic congestion if four proposed mega condo projects are built along a two kilometre stretch.

A proposal has been filed to build a 12 storey rental apartment on Royal York Road just feet away from the Gardiner Expressway.

The apartment at 464 Royal York Road is just north of Evans Avenue and south of the Expressway. It will contain 112 units, according to documents filed.

Some homes will be demolished for this multi-tower complex at 506, 514, 516, 520 and 522 Royal York Road.

The proposal will be considered by Etobicoke York Community Council on February 19 and by City Council on March 26.

City staff are opposing the plan before the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) since an application for by-law amendments have outstanding issues to be resolved.

The application was submitted in February last year to permit a rental residential building which will include 48 one-bedroom apartments, 53 two-bedrooms and 11 three-bedroom units.

There are 61 parking spaces proposed for vehicles and 85 spots for bicycles.

Ten storey condo is planned for 351 Royal York Road, across from San Remo Bakery.

The site is now occupied by a one-storey brick industrial building, which will be demolished.

Also in the works, is a proposal to build three mixed-use towers ranging from 17 to 35 stories at the intersection of Royal York Road and Queen Elizabeth Drive, which is also before the OLT.

The plan will mean the demolition of some homes and buildings at 506, 514, 516, 520 and 522 Royal York Road and 3, 5 and 15 Sinclair Street and 2, 7 and 10 Queen Elizabeth Boulevard.

This mega complex is proposed at 266 and 268 Royal York Road, near Cavell Avenue.

A zoning by-law amendment application has also been filed to redevelop 351 through 365 Royal York Road into a 10-storey mixed use condo across from San Remo Bakery that will lead to the removal of eight homes.

Developers are seeking to build a mixed-use 37 storey and 23 storey towers at 266 and 268 Royal York Road, along with an eight-storey storage warehouse on the site.

The site is located on the west side of Royal York Road at its intersection with Stanley Avenue, near Cavell Avenue.

The buildings will contain 824 residential units, consisting of 613 studio and one-bedroom units, 167 two-bedroom units and 44 three-bedroom units. There will also be an eight-storey attachment.

Residents claim Royal York Road is already congested with traffic and will get worst as hundreds of new condo-buyers move in.
