Proposed 45-storey mixed use condo tower planned for Dundas St. W. and Islington Ave. area.
A massive 45-storey mixed-use condo tower is proposed for a very busy intersection in Islington Village.
The tower at 4875 Dundas Street West is near Islington Avenue and will be built on the south west corner site of a current 10-storey rental apartment building that will be demolished to make way for the new development.
An application has been filed for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit the construction of a mixed-use high-rise and demolition of the older building.
This existing 10-storey rental apartment will be demolished for the much larger tower.
The new building is designed by Graziani + Corazza Architects and features a four-storey podium and will house a total of 488 units, which includes 432 market-based condos and 56 rental units.
An underground garage spread across three levels would provide 221 parking spaces, with 214 for residents and seven for visitors. There will be 332 long-term and 35 short-term bicycle parking spots.
The area is busy for motorists and pedestrians as several TTC bus routes operate near the proposal site, offering connections to Islington, Kipling, and Dundas West stations as Islington Station is close by.
Condo development and townhomes are planned for the Islington Station lands which will have a new bus terminal.
The neighbourhood is getting congested with condo towers as a 25 story building is proposed at 4888 Dundas Street West and another at 27 storeys close by.
A major redevelopment is also planned for the lands at the Islington Station, at Bloor Street West, where a new bus terminal and a 55, 41, 34 and 32-storey buildings are in the works.
Nearby is the new Etobicoke Civic Centre with 2,800 affordable housing being built at the Six Points Interchange.
The development will be close to a new Etobicoke Civic Centre and thousands of affordable housing being constructed in the Six Points Interchange area, near Bloor Street West and Kipling Avenue.
There are four buildings ranging height up to 24 storeys and about 2,800 affordable housing units planned for the site.
