Ironwood Fund Limited Partnership has retained Hobin Architecture to prepare development concepts which propose to demolish the cantilevered east-west portion of the existing mixed-use building at 18 Louisa Street, and construct a high-rise, mixed-use development that rises from west to east from three (3) to ten (10) storeys to a maximum building height of 31 metres. The tenth storey is significantly recessed and limited exclusively to amenity space and mechanical services.
The development proposes to maintain the height and general massing of the north-south portion of the existing three (3) storey mixed-use building and construct a ten (10) storey residential-use building addition. A building connection is proposed along the south east corner of the existing three (3) storey building. The existing mixed-use building contains a total of 1,782 square metres of health-related uses and small office uses in three (3) storeys on a floorplate of 872 square metres, while the residential use building contains a total of 139 units in ten (10) storeys over a total GFA of 8,039 square meters on a floorplate of 1,165 square metres for a total building GFA of 9,821 square meters. Vehicular parking is proposed to be located along the existing private laneway as well as a two (2) level underground parking garage, for a total of 88 vehicular parking spaces. A total of 79 bicycle parking spaces are also proposed. Bicycle parking is proposed to be located within the landscaped area outdoors, in an indoor segregated storage space on the ground floor as well as within the underground parking garage.
