1399 Avenue U | 17+20m | 5+6f | Proposed

CLV Group has submitted a Site Plan Control application to permit the development of a Planned Unit Development consisting of a 5 and 6 storey residential use buildings on the subject property. The buildings will have a total of 124 apartment units, with corresponding amenity space and a combination of underground and surface parking. The building orientation follows the corresponding property line to allow an appropriate setback from the Rail line to the south while still respecting the required setbacks from the existing dwelling units to the north of the building.

The development proposal is for two buildings (Building A and B). Building A consists of a 5-storey residential building with 54 units and 35 underground parking spaces. The unit mix will include studios, one (1), two (2) and three (3) bedroom apartments. In addition to private balconies, communal amenity space will be located at-grade and on the rooftop of the 5th floor. The building supports an active frontage along the private access with glazing and articulation of the building façade, with ample landscaping. Building B consists of a 6-storey residential building with 70 units and 32 underground parking spaces, and has been designed in a similar manner as Building A. The at-grade amenity space will provide a link between the buildings and can be used by both buildings A and B. In total, the development will yield a total of 136 parking spaces, 67 underground parking spaces and 69 surface parking spaces with 57 spaces reserved for residents and 12 for visitors.

Parking will be accessed from a new private driveway with access from Avenue U extending along the rear of the property, running east-west across the southern edge of the site, leading to surface parking and the entrance to the parking garage, which is located at the rear of the building, screened from view of the abutting residences. A one-way route runs along the northern portion of the site used for parallel visitor parking at the front of the site and to provide pick up/drop off access to the buildings. Access to the building from Avenue U is planned as a temporary measure, once Tremblay Road is realigned as part of the Canada Lands development, public access to Avenue U will be limited to emergency vehicles.

IMO this should really be a plan of subdivision with public streets that builds on the existing road network. I think it was a mistake that the TOD plan designated Eastway Gardens as a "Stable Neighbourhood" and discourages redevelopment so close to LRT.

Well, good on them for trying. Good luck with the alphabet Karens who walk in those riparian woodlands.

If only there was a good way to walk to the transit station from there. Nice quiet location though.

There's a pedestrian tunnel from Tremblay Rd under the Queensway into St Laurent Station. It's only about 600m to 700m from most of the proposed buildings.

Quiet? You must like train noise to live there.

Slow moving Via trains 4-6 times per day is not a big deal. Maybe a view on the upper floors of the confed trains switching (but must be a train fan to buy) Other than that you're looking at the scenic Pepsico parking lot, and the OC Transpo elephant graveyard.

More than that, you can hear the hum of the 417 pretty much 24/7 in this neighbourhood, over the wall. Upper floors might have a direct view to the 417 and St. Laurent mall.

I forgot about the tunnel to St. Laurent. It IS very handy. St. Laurent as a road to walk on is probably the worst in the city for pedestrians.

I tried that tunnel recently for the first time and I must say, it is not a pleasant place to walk through. I don't understand the design choice to fully enclose it with cinder blocks.

Fully enclosed with blocks and then equipped with fans so loud it sounds like a jet engine, preventing you from hearing if anyone is around the bend. It's a CPTED nightmare.

I've used the St. Laurent tunnel once. Fairly wide. Good artwork. Wish that the fenced-in stairs could be used as an entrance/exit (though I don't know if that's possible) and that they punched a few openings in the wall for a view of the trains and added eyes on the tunnel. Obviously, plexiglass or chain-link would be needed for those holes so that no one uses them as a garbage disposal.

Yep. Though to be honest, it would probably be a bit freaky even if it was quiet. I'm a 6ft male and found it unsettling.

This project is no longer on CLV's website, so I assume it's been shelved

Seems like CVL is constantly moving things around on their website, removing and re-adding. They spend more time developing their website than developing buildings.
