From Jeff Leiper's Newsletter:
Large development proposed for Parkdale/Carling
I've received a head's-up that an application has been filed by Taggart with the city for a development consisting of a 22-storey and 28-storey tower at 1081 Carling Avenue. The application isn't online but I expect that it will be shortly. I have let the developer know that I am almost certainly not going to be able to support what I consider on first glance an over-intensification of this site. We'll start working on an open house to give residents an opportunity to pose their questions of the developer and advertise that in a subsequent issue of the newsletter.
The site is home to an 8-storey white brick medical building near the Civic, with associated parking.
I agree with Leiper that, at first glance, what they are asking is a bit much. Other than the hospitals and medical clinics, there's very little in the immediate area in terms of transit or amenities. It directly abuts a low-density neighborhood. I think 12 floors would be more than suitable here. High-rises should be kept along retail and transit nodes.
