Rosedale may be known for its heritage charm and leafy streets, but a new proposal would reach unprecedented height on the stretch of Yonge Street between Summerhill and Rosedale stations. Zinc Developments<\/a> and ProWinko<\/a> have returned to the City with a significantly revised application for 1087 Yonge Street<\/a>, now seeking to replace a previously approved 15-storey tower proposal with a 35-storey tower designed by architects\u2014Alliance<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Located at the southeast corner of Yonge and Price streets, the site is an assembly of 1087 through 1091 Yonge and 9 Price Street. The L-shaped parcel is occupied by a single-storey commercial building housing Sleep Country and Running Room, and a 3-storey mixed-use building. A narrow strip at the rear functions as a pedestrian and vehicular access route, and is anticipated to be severed under a future application. The surrounding Summerhill neighbourhood features heritage commercial buildings and mid-rise development.<\/p>\n Zinc acquired the site for $11 million in 2018. An initial proposal<\/a> for a 19-storey building was submitted in 2022, later scaled back to 15 storeys following negotiations with the City. That version was approved by Council in July, 2023.<\/p>\n For these revised plans, the developers cite evolving planning directions and intensification targets tied to its location within both Rosedale and Summerhill subway stations’ Major Transit Station Areas.<\/p>\n WND Associates<\/a> has resubmitted Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications to the City of Toronto on behalf of the developers. The new submission envisions a 35-storey mixed-use tower with a 4-storey base, rising to a height of 120.1m, more than double the previous design at 53.8m. Above the base, the tower’s middle portion would project slightly over a narrow plaza along Price Street before smaller floor-plates on higher levels the tower of 436m\u00b2.<\/p>\n The new proposal includes 235 residential units, up from 136. A total of three residential elevators are proposed, for a ratio of approximately one elevator per 78 units, indicating prompt response times. Indoor amenities would total 470m\u00b2, increased from 383m\u00b2, while 181m\u00b2 of outdoor amenities, up from 120m\u00b2, would be provided as a landscaped terrace atop the podium.\u00a0<\/p>\n The proposed development totals 18,760m\u00b2 of Gross Floor Area (GFA), up from 11,300m\u00b2, increasing the Floor Space Index from 9.14 to 15.34 times coverage of the 1,223m\u00b2 lot. Of the total GFA, 17,114m\u00b2 would be dedicated to residential use, increased from 10,112m\u00b2. New to this iteration, 898m\u00b2 would now be allocated for commercial office space, while retail area has decreased from 1,070m\u00b2 to 747m\u00b2. Non-residential functions occupy portions of the P1 level, ground floor, mezzanine, and the entirety of the second floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n Below grade, two car elevators connect to an automated parking system that spans three underground levels. Parking capacity remains similar, with 130 spaces for residents and a single visitor space. Bicycle parking has nearly doubled, increasing from 143 to 266 spaces, with 212 long-term and 54 short-term spaces.<\/p>\n The site is located about 350m north of Rosedale station on Yonge Line 1, but only 100m south of a new southern entrance to Summerhill station, currently under construction as part of the 23-storey James at Scrivener Square<\/a> development. The site is also served by TTC buses along Yonge Street. Dedicated bike lanes run north\u2013south along Yonge, linking to the Beltline Trail, Davenport Road, and Bloor Street, while nearby connections include the David Balfour Park Trail.<\/p>\n At 35 storeys, the proposal would be the tallest in the immediate area. Besides the 23-storey James at Scrivener Square<\/a> development under construction to the north, directly across Yonge Street to the west, 1140 Yonge<\/a> is proposed at 10 storeys, while further south, One Roxborough West<\/a> is under construction at 12 storeys. Higher-density proposals are concentrated closer to the stations, including 931 Yonge<\/a> at 33 storeys near Rosedale, and 1196<\/a> and 1220 Yonge<\/a> at 32 and 35 storeys respectively near Summerhill. Further north, 1233 Yonge<\/a> is proposed to reach 53 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.
