Two Minor Variance applications are moving forward along Raglan Avenue, north of St Clair Avenue West in Toronto\u2019s Humewood\u2013Cedarvale neighbourhood. At 5 Raglan,\u00a0Goldman Group<\/a> is seeking to raise a tower approved at 28 storeys to 34. Just up the street,\u00a0Camrost-Felcorp<\/a> is proposing a height increase from 26 to 30 storeys at 91 Raglan. The two sites occupy opposite ends of Raglan Avenue.\u00a0<\/p>\n At the south end of the street, an assembly of 5 through 15 Raglan was previously home to a mix of detached and semi-detached houses. The 1,438m\u00b2 assembly has since been cleared following demolition. Further north at the corner of Raglan and Claxton Boulevard, 91 Raglan is an assembly of 91 through 101 Raglan. It measures 1,432m\u00b2, and currently contains six semi-detached dwellings, some of which remain occupied.<\/p>\n Originally proposed at\u00a024 storeys<\/a> by Goldman Group\u00a0and\u00a0Stafford Developments<\/a>, the Zoning By-law Amendment for 5 Raglan was approved through a 2023 Ontario Land Tribunal settlement. It permitted a 28-storey, 210-unit residential tower designed by\u00a0Richmond Architects<\/a>. Since then, the design has been taken over by Studio JCI<\/a>, with a new Site Plan Amendment application rising to a height of 117.75m.<\/p>\n The updated design features 236 condominium units, aligning with policy objectives by introducing a more family-oriented unit mix, with nearly half of the suites now planned as two-bedroom units. A small 16m\u00b2 commercial space is planned at grade, with amenities split between 481m\u00b2 indoors and 486m\u00b2 outdoors. Two underground levels would contain 42 parking spaces and 238 bicycle spaces. Closely bordered by other tower developments and laneways, design refinements to shadow, wind, and servicing conditions are included in the latest submission.<\/p>\n Previously\u00a0approved in 2022<\/a>, the Zoning By-law Amendment for 91 Raglan Avenue allowed a\u00a026-storey, 224-unit condominium<\/a> designed by\u00a0Onespace Unlimited<\/a>. It was conceived as the second phase of Camrost-Felcorp\u2019s redevelopment vision along Raglan, with the developer\u2019s\u00a0Raglan House<\/a> to the south now under construction. The latest application proposes an increase to 30 storeys.<\/p>\n The revised tower, now designed by\u00a0architects\u2014Alliance<\/a>, would rise to 107.5m with 305 condominium units, introduce 172m\u00b2 of retail, and reducing outdoor amenity space from 1.7m\u00b2 to 1.0m\u00b2 per unit. Three levels of underground parking would provide 61 vehicle spaces and 340 bicycle spaces. Planning staff supported the revised proposal at the Committee of Adjustment, recommending approval subject to a $100,000 community benefits contribution.<\/p>\n Both sites lie within the Major Transit Station Area for St Clair West subway station, which is a short walking distance to the east. The 512 St Clair streetcar runs along St Clair Avenue with stops at Bathurst and Vaughan Road, along with local bus routes for additional surface transit options.<\/p>\n Other developments are at various stages nearby. Between the two sites, Raglan House is rising to 28 storeys. To the west,\u00a0Groove Urban Condominiums<\/a> is rising to 15 storeys, and major proposals include\u00a0536 St Clair West<\/a> at 30 storeys,\u00a0Alfie Condos<\/a> at 34 storeys, and\u00a040 Raglan<\/a> at 36 storeys. At Bathurst Street and St Clair,\u00a0For\u00eat<\/a> is underway, delivering three towers ranging from 35 to 41 storeys.<\/p>\n The application for 91 Raglan Avenue is scheduled to return to the Committee of Adjustment following a deferral in April, with a tentative hearing set for July 9, 2025. No hearing date has been posted yet for 5 Raglan Avenue, though the Minor Variance and Site Plan Amendment applications have been submitted in tandem.<\/p>\n UrbanToronto will continue to follow progress on these developments, but in the meantime, you can learn more about them from our Database files, linked below.
