Brigil is proposing a transformative redevelopment of the subject site at 131 and 139 Parkdale Avenue and 122 Forward Avenue with a mixed use, purpose-built rental community. The plan includes a 40-storey high-rise apartment tower at 131 and 139 Parkdale Ave. A complementary six-storey apartment building is proposed at 122 Forward Ave. These two buildings will be seamlessly connected by a pedestrian bridge at the sixth floor, over a municipal laneway accessed from Burnside Ave. The municipal laneway is envisioned as a multi-purpose space with pedestrian activation and back of house functions. The proposed development also includes 207 vehicle parking spaces and 472 bicycle parking spaces for residents and visitors.
In total, the development will provide 429 residential units consisting of:
• 72 studios,
• 142 1-bedroom units,
• 52 1-bedroom unit+den,
• 132 2-bedroom units,
• 28 2-bedroom units+den
• 3 at grade studio units (with access from Forward Ave).
The building offers 2,118.23 square metres of private balconies providing spacious residential units that accommodate a range of living preferences. It also offers 2651.16 square metres of communal amenity space between the proposed indoor and outdoor spaces. Outdoor amenity spaces are proposed at the sixth and 40th floors. Shared indoor amenities are proposed at these levels.
Vehicular access to the site will be provided through the municipal laneway, ensuring that the pedestrian experience around the building and landscaping is uninterrupted. The access to the underground parking garage is also through the laneway. The underground parking garage, which will consist of four levels, will provide 207 parking spaces: 201 for residents and 6 for retail uses. On parking level 1, there is also room for garbage storage, mechanical, bicycle parking, and lockers.
The main building, Building A, includes 245 square metres of commercial spaces on the ground floor with two different retail spaces. Each space has direct access to Parkdale Ave and Burnside Ave respectively. Building B also has two retail spaces for a total of 164.5 square metres of commercial spaces on the ground floor fronting Burnside Ave.
