The site of the Cloverdale Beer Store will soon be demolished for this 33-storey condo complex at The East Mall Crescent.
A Beer Store at Cloverdale Mall that is used by many will soon be gone.
The store which has been there for decades is slated to be levelled as a huge condo tower complex has been given the green light to be built on the site.
A Petro-Canada service station that stood beside it was bulldozed in 2021.
The site at 2-10 The East Mall Crescent, at the East Mall and Dundas Street W., near Cloverdale Mall, will be home of a 33-storey and nine storey towers, to be connected by a four-storey base building, which were approved by Etobicoke York Community Council last December.
The Cloverdale Mall Beer Store that has served the community for decades will be gone soon.
The complex when completed will have 605 condo units, including 382 one-bedrooms, 133 two-bedrooms and 61 three-bedroom units. There will be commercial space on the first floor.
Planned are two public areas for residents that will be accessible year-round and not gated from the streets.
“The building would be set back along its three street frontages to provide for expanded sidewalks and an enhanced public realm,” according to the proposal.
It said a vehicular bridge connecting the site to the Cloverdale Mall is proposed to be converted into a landscaped pedestrian bridge with a bicycle connection to the Mall.
A 33-storey and nine-storey condo complex have been approved for the Beer Store site, on which previously stood a now-gone Petro-Canada gas station.
Vehicular access to the site is proposed via a driveway from East Mall Crescent, and would lead to underground parking, loading areas, and drop-off areas at the interior of the site.
The driveway would curve around an enhanced garden at the interior of the site and would lead back to East Mall Crescent.
“A Petro Canada gas station has been demolished, and the one-storey Beer Store on the subject property will also be demolished to allow for the proposed development,” according to the plan.
The top of the building at the 33rd storey would include a mechanical penthouse and green roof that ‘would contribute to the surrounding skyline identity and character.’
Pearson Airport officials said incoming or departing aircraft will not be affected by the condo tower which is near a flight path.
Officials of the Greater Toronto Airport Authority (GTAA) confirmed the height of the proposed building is within their limits and will not present any problems with arriving or departing aircraft.
There will be 360 residential parking spots, including 58 visitor spaces, two loading spaces and 457 bicycle parking spaces, including 44 short-term and 413 long-term spots.
The plan calls for seven city-owned trees to be removed.
It said the project will provide a level of intensification to an underutilized parcel of land while delivering new housing and retail opportunities to the area and providing better connections to local and regional transit.
