The Claude Lauzon Group proposes to build a 6-storey mixed-use development on the 1,262 sq. m. property on the east side of King Edward Avenue, between Clarence and Murray Streets. The project program will include a retail ground floor, 31 rental apartments, and 2 levels of underground parking.
At the ground floor, the principal entrance for the apartments will be located at mid-block, leading through a secure vestibule, to an elevator lobby served by 2 elevators. This core will be flanked on 3 sides by 420 sq. m. of commercial space that could be one tenant, but is subdividable into 3 with potential recessed entrances along King Edward Avenue and Clarence Street. Another potential retail entrance could be off the elevator lobby. Below-grade parking entrances are split between Clarence Street and Murray Street. The former leads to the first parking level, which will be dedicated to visitors and to the commercial tenants. The latter leads to the lower parking level for the apartment residents. There is secure bicycle parking in the back (east side) for use by residents, with additional bicycle parking indoors on P1 for both residents and
retail tenants.
The unique shape of the site and the proposed building create an intimate outdoor amenity space at the rear of the property for the enjoyment of the building residents. The outdoor communal space incorporates a sizable gathering area with high-quality artificial turf landscaping and walkways leading to the public streets. The proposed outdoor communal amenity area for the development is a total of 225 sq. m.
