New project for Old/Central Bedford at the corner of Bedford Highway and Meadowbrook Drive.
"Application by Fathom, on behalf of the property owner, requesting to enter into a heritage development agreement on the lands at 1262 Bedford Highway, which would allow an 8-storey residential tower.
Background
1262 Bedford Highway, known as ‘Honeycote’, was registered as a heritage property in 2021. Honeycote contains a one-and-a-half storey building that was designed in the classical Vernacular style and was constructed between 1855 and 1858.
Proposal
The applicant has applied to enter into a Development Agreement on the property to permit a 8-storey residential building on a registered heritage property. This development agreement is being considered under the Bedford Highway Secondary Municipal Planning Strategy.
A key element of the proposal is the relocation, rehabilitation, and preservation of the registered heritage building. The heritage building will be relocated closer to Bedford Highway and incorporated into the new construction with a one-storey breezeway connection between the two buildings"
