Revised plans have been filed for\u00a02\u201320 Glazebrook Avenue<\/a>, bumping the height from 34 to 38 storeys in Toronto\u2019s Sherwood Park neighbourhood. Designed by\u00a0Gabriel Fain Architects Inc.<\/a> with\u00a0KIRKOR Architects and Planners<\/a> as Architect of Record for\u00a0Gairloch Developments<\/a>, the resubmission follows an Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) settlement. It is framed within the site\u2019s Major Transit Station Area context, located north of the upcoming\u00a0Leaside station<\/a> on the\u00a0Eglinton Line 5<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n The site includes multiple low-rise parcels fronting Glazebrook Avenue just west of Bayview Avenue. The assembled lands measure approximately 2,135m\u00b2 and are currently occupied by a series of low-density residential dwellings. The surrounding area transitions quickly in scale, with low-rise housing along Glazebrook giving way to mid- and high-rise residential, commercial, and institutional uses along Bayview Avenue and Eglinton Avenue East.<\/p>\n Plans for redevelopment date back to\u00a02022<\/a>, when applications were first submitted for a 34-storey mixed-use condominium. The proposal was advanced through Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan Approval applications and later appealed to the OLT, leading to a negotiated settlement. The current resubmission builds on that approval, seeking a Minor Variance application.<\/p>\n The resubmitted proposal would rise as a 38-storey mixed-use condominium building reaching 130.67m, organized around a nine-storey podium, compared with the earlier 34-storey plan rising 115.24m. Residential density increased from 434 to 489 units. The updated unit mix would comprise 136 studios, 170 one-bedroom units, 129 two-bedroom units, and 54 three-bedroom units.\u00a0<\/p>\n Total Gross Floor Area rose from 29,286m\u00b2 to 31,245m\u00b2, lifting the Floor Space Index from 13.78 to 14.63. Residential space would account for 30,898m\u00b2, with ground-floor retail spanning 345m\u00b2. The resubmitted plans would provide 809m\u00b2 of indoor amenities complemented by 499m\u00b2 of outdoor amenities. Vertical circulation would be served by four elevators, increased from three previously, translating to about one elevator per 122 units, indicating that high-speed motors would be required for adequate service.<\/p>\n Below grade, the building would be served by two levels of underground garage. The current proposal provides 46 parking spaces, comprising 40 residential spaces and six visitor spaces, compared with 91 spaces in the original submission. Bicycle parking expanded substantially, with 549 spaces now planned, including 441 long-term spaces for residents and 108 short-term visitor spaces, up from 466.\u00a0<\/p>\n The site is located approximately 260m north of the future Leaside station, or about a three-minute walk, on the Eglinton Line 5. Bayview Avenue and Eglinton Avenue East are also served by multiple surface transit routes.<\/p>\n The proposal would rise within a rapidly intensifying stretch of Bayview Avenue. Immediately north, 1840 Bayview Avenue<\/a> is proposed at 29 storeys. Close by to the south and west, 17 Glenavy Avenue<\/a> is proposed at 39 storeys, and\u00a01802 Bayview Avenue<\/a> is planned to reach 46 storeys. Across Bayview to the east,\u00a01837 Bayview Avenue<\/a> is proposed at 25 storeys, and the\u00a0Sunnybrook Plaza redevelopment<\/a> has three towers ranging from 32 to 44 storeys. To the south, a cluster of high-rise applications include\u00a0545 Eglinton East<\/a> and\u00a01779\u20131787 Bayview Avenue<\/a> at 35 storeys,\u00a0589 Eglinton East<\/a> at 40 storeys, and\u00a0586 Eglinton East<\/a> at 46 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.
