An 11-storey condo is planned for 935 The Queensway and will the roadway more busier.
Another two condo projects are set for The Queensway that will make the roadway even more condo-heavy and congested.
The 11-storey BLVD. Q. is proposed to be built at The Queensway and Canmotor Avenue, the site of a decades old paint store.
It marks “a significant stride in the urban revitalization of the area,” according to the builders.
The Queensway with all the high-rise condos popping up is becoming one of the more congested roadways in South Etobicoke. There are more than a dozen major projects being, or in the process, of being built.
Called BLVD. Q., the building promises to bring sophisticated living to the area.
The BLVD. Q. complex is being built by Mattamy Homes which launched the project last September.
The building will contain 210 suites and promises to blend “modern urban sophistication with the intimate charm of South Etobicoke.”
The condo will have a gross floor area of 15,535 square metres for residential use and 590 square metres for retail on the ground floor that ‘caters to the modern suburbanite.’
The open living spaces are bright, ensuring a seamless indoor-outdoor connection with plenty of natural sunlight, the company says in its promotional material.
Not far away is another project at 801 The Queensway being constructed on site of a former auto parts store.
“The interiors of BLVD. Q aim for balanced living, embodying comfort and sophistication,” they claim.
It provides quiet co-working zones and workspaces to a versatile event space equipped with a cocktail lounge. The sixth floor provides expansive, fitness areas, kids’ spaces, dining spots, and lounging areas.
The units start at $474,000 and is a two-minute drive to the Gardiner Expressway, five-minute drive to both Mimico GO station on the Lakeshore West line or Islington station on Bloor Line 2.
Traffic flow on The Queensway is already bad as it is.
“It underscores its promise as a residential and commercial hub in The Queensway,” the company said.
“What was once a suburb of Toronto has built a unique and strong identity,” the sales brochure state. “One with energy, beautiful greenspace and all the charm of the west end of the city.”
Nearby, at 801 The Queenway at Taymall Avenue, an 11-storey mid-rise building is proposed on the site of former PartsSource auto supply shop.
The development by Marlin Spring Developments will have 206 condo units and 12,755 square feet of retail space on the ground floor.
