A multi-phased development has been proposed for 11014 through 11076 Yonge Street<\/a> in Richmond Hill\u2019s Elgin Mills area, seeking permission for a mix of townhouses, two community centres, and high-rise towers up to 49 storeys. Designed by Tregebov Cogan Architects<\/a> for Armour Heights Developments<\/a> (operating as Yonge MCD Inc.), the proposal calls for five residential towers close to the Oak Ridges Moraine that forms the highpoint of the Greater Toronto Area.<\/p>\n The 46,415m\u00b2 site spans Brookside Road to Naughton Drive and is currently vacant. A tributary of the Rouge River runs through the eastern portion, bordered by a stream corridor and wetland areas, while a wooded area to the north is owned by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). Surrounding the site is a mix of residential and commercial uses.\u00a0<\/p>\n In 2016, applications for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment, and Draft Plan of Subdivision were submitted. Phase 1, approved by the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) in 2020, allowed for a 6-storey mid-rise building, stacked townhouses, and a linear park. In 2021, a decision permitted two residential towers of 21 and 37 storeys in Phase 2, located at the site’s southeast corner. A 2024 amendment refined the approved subdivision plan, establishing development blocks and an internal public road network.\u00a0<\/p>\n Now, the latest Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications envision five residential towers ranging from 29 to 49 storeys, eight 3-storey townhouse blocks, and two community centres. The development would introduce 1,874 residential units, including a mix of condos, market-rate rentals, and townhouses. The design\u2019s Gross Floor Area is 174,675m\u00b2, including 172,561m\u00b2 for residential uses and 2,114m\u00b2 for the community spaces. The design\u2019s Floor Space Index in the 46,415m\u00b2 property is 6.80 times lot coverage, and the layout includes a linear park and new internal roads.<\/p>\n Planned in four phases, Phase 1 would introduce 33 three-bedroom townhouses, while Phase 2 would bring two high-rise towers of 38 and 49 storeys, with a combined 794 condo units. Phase 3 would deliver three rental towers of 29, 31, and 33 storeys, along with two storeys of community centre spaces spanning 2,114m\u00b2. Phase 4 would complete the project with 36 stacked townhouses. The towers would sit atop podiums ranging from 1 to 6 storeys.<\/p>\n Indoor amenities would span 5,771m\u00b2, while outdoor amenities would cover 6,446m\u00b2. A linear park along the site’s eastern edge would connect Yonge Street, Brookside Road, and the internal street network.\u00a0<\/p>\n The towers would include 16 elevators across Phases 2 and 3, with seven in the condo towers (approximately one per 113 units) and nine in the rental towers (one per 112 units). Parking is planned above-grade, at-grade, and in three underground levels, with 1,212 spaces for residents and 136 for visitors. Bicycle parking provisions include 1,082 long-term and 212 short-term spaces for visitors.<\/p>\n York Region Transit (YRT) bus stops at Brookside Road and Canyon Hill Avenue provide connections along Yonge Street. The VIVA Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, running between Highway 7 and 19th Avenue\/Gamble Road, includes a station at Yonge and Bernard Avenue, designating the area as a Major Transit Station Area (MTSA). The Bernard Terminal, southeast of the site, offers additional regional bus connections. Looking ahead, the Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension<\/a>, planned to extend beyond Highway 7, shorten the connection time to Toronto.\u00a0<\/p>\n The surrounding area is experiencing an uptick in high-rise development. To the north, Brookside Yonge Condos<\/a> and 11172 Yonge Street<\/a> are proposed at 22 storeys each. To the south, Evelyn Condos at Rise & Rose<\/a> would introduce 23- and 31-storey towers, while further south at Elgin Mills Road West, The Elgin<\/a> is planned as a 19- and 25-storey tower development. A masterplanned community at 41 & 81 Elgin Mills<\/a> calls for towers reaching up to 50 storeys.<\/p>\n UrbanToronto will continue to follow progress on this development, but in the meantime, you can learn more about it from our Database file, linked below.
