Our vision is to transform a transit-rich, but currently underutilized, site to introduce new housing options, retail vibrancy and new public green and open spaces for existing and future residents. Our vision will evolve as our master planning process continues.

The proposed plan now includes a new centralized park, mid-rise character design, updated urban landscaping including open spaces and public realm and new integrated connections for better porosity. While still in discussions with the school board, we are advancing this significant project through the portion of the site we own, which does not include the school at this time. We will continue to discuss future opportunities as part of our evolving vision for the Site.

The proposed buildings have been designed to respect the existing neighbourhood in line with shadow and wind study recommendations. The construction will be completed in phases and we will incorporate dust and noise mitigation measures. The proposed development also increases opportunities for pedestrian and cycling connections throughout, encouraging mobility to and through the Site.

Choice Properties is committed to incorporating an urban format grocer at this location, as well as continued grocer operations maintaining community access during construction. We will provide a further update once tenants are confirmed.

Retail and public parking will be incorporated on the site, while promoting pedestrian linkages for the community and local transit usage.

Planning for integrated pick-up and drop-off areas, dedicated interior loading bays, designing for “back-of-house” activities away from public realm and designing below grade parking are some of the ways we plan to manage vehicular movement, in line with completed traffic studies. The proposed development also includes improvements to Dundas Street W between Roncesvalles Avenue and Bloor Street W to improve operations in this portion of the neighbourhood and reduce activity that typically causes delays for motorists and streetcars.

We are in the midst of a master planning process, which takes multiple years to complete. We anticipate submitting further and revised applications in 2023. No construction will begin until all approvals are in place.
