Phase 1 of the 2150 Lake Shore Blvd. W. mega development will have three towers ranging to 67 storeys and midrises.
The site of a mega-development project underway at the former Mr. Cookie factory site at Humber Bay Shores has been quiet recently but a lot of work is taking place behind the scene.
The multi-tower project at 2150 Lake Shore Blvd. W., has been slowly moving through the lengthy applications hearing process for two years as plans are being finalized and studies completed.
The first phase of the development called Station Square and Park Lawn Gardens will contain three towers rising as high as 67 storeys, according to documents.
The mixed-used towers in Phase 1 will have about 2,000 housing units. When fully competed the complex will have 7,500 units in 15 condo towers.
Phase 1 would have three high-rises 47, 63, and 67 storeys in height. There will also be four mid-rise buildings 10, 11, and two at 13 storeys.
The development is designed by B+H Architects for First Capital and Pemberton Group.
The buildings are expected to have more than 2,000 apartment and residential units. The mixed residential condos are tied to the opening of the Park Lawn GO Station, being built by Metrolinx.
There will also be a TTC hub, park, daycare, school, grocery store and other facilities for the thousands of tenants who will eventually be moving in.
Two new roads are expected to be paved to link the complex together, with possible ramps to the Gardiner Expressway.
The Park Lawn GO Station as proposed and to be constructed by Metrolinx.
There will be a five-level underground garage for 1,281 vehicles, with 771 spaces for residents, 20 for visitors, 18 for retail, and 472 for office tenants. There will be almost 3,000 spots for bicycle parking.
Planning for the GO station has also been advancing, with submissions to the City last December for a building permit, and a technical resubmission in January 2025 to tweak the building plans.
Original plans had intended for the GO station and first buildings to be complete in 2026, but the pandemic and other factors have delayed the initial openings to an unknown date.
Some of the many condo towers planned for the former Mr. Cookie factory site. Also planned is a park, school, grocery store and TTC hub.
The 2150 Lake Shore Boulevard W. community will have 7,446 residential units when fully completed. It will include 15 condo towers ranging from 22 to 71 storeys in height.
Blocks away from the site, the Humber Bay Shores area continues to see amazing high-rise development of about eight other towers planned or being built.
According to Urban Toronto construction is underway of two 17-storey towers at 20 Fleeceline Road; 10 and 37-storey buildings at 2256 Lake Shore Boulevard W. are planned. Proposals at 2157 and 2173 Lake Shore Boulevard West for 13- and 49-storey towers; as a 56-storey Water’s Edge at the Cove is ending construction, and a 59-storey condo is planned for 2189 Lake Shore Boulevard W.
