340 Parkdale Ave | 127m | 38f | Proposed

In yesterday's citizen, there was an add for a new condo tower coming up in the Hintonburg Area.

Link to their registration website is here. I don't know how to add the picture here. See for yourself! it looks amazing. From $169k to over $1 million.

It is not clear who is the builder at this point! A beautiful addition to the Parkdale market area

Looks very nice. A great addition indeed. Looks like Armstrong and Hamilton?

Nice rendering. Let's hope the developer has some good projects under their belt already.

So far looks amazing! I like the industrial feel to the design, which is in keeping with the square bounded by Holland, Parkdale, Wellington and Scott. The southfacing units will have tons of sunlight because of the park, and nice unobstructed views of the park, market, and neighbourhood.

I'd prefer to keep the Carleton Tavern, which looks like it will get torn down for this.

I agree wholeheartedly about keeping the Carleton Tavern, but it seems pretty clear that it is not getting torn down, just the 1 story red brick building that used to house Add Electronics (I think last year it was a fairly unsuccessful artisans market, perhaps therefore the name of the condo). This is at the corner of Armstrong and Hamilton, whereas Carleton Tavern is just to the East at Armstrong and Parkdale - in fact the Parkdale Gallery (just west of the Carleton Tavern, in the same block) is visible at the far right of the render, showing that it too will remain.

My guess would be that it is the same developer who did the Parkdale Lofts on Parkdale/Spencer, which was KRP Developments. I quite liked the layouts in that building.

This is also where the Cube Gallery and Allan Dean Photography were (both recently moved to Wellington). An alternative address is 7 Hamilton Ave N..

Streetview

Also, the site is currently zoned for light industrial with an with an FSI of 2.0 and a height limit of 13.5 metres, so looks like it will need some rezoning.

There appears to be no active street-level facade, just a bunch of windows.

like a subdivision being named after deers, meadows and trees, this condo is named after the type of people it will displace

You're right, but I think (or hope) that it'll be retail along Armstrong.

What it needs is a Subway or Quizno's or something else like that on the ground floor, at the very least. I just moved from that neighbourhood like 6 weeks ago (I was on Bullman Street, living next door to One Hamilton). Would have been nice to be one of the people keeping tabs on this, and other Kitchissippi Ward Projects....

Orange Gallery opened there yesterday, which is why I assumed that it wasn't going to be in there. Who would open a brand new business in a building about to be torn down?

Someone who got a very, very, very (did I mention very) good deal on a short term lease.

Ya and they could easily get a year out of the location before demolition happens.

The developer is Spencedale Properties Ltd. They also own the adjacent property at 3 Hamilton Ave. and 340 Parkdale (Parkdale Mini Storage) - basically the whole block except the Carleton Tavern (who knows they may own that too?). The ground floor looks like parking (similar to Parkdale Lofts). Since the whole area is rock which is expensive to excavate, it's cheaper to build above grade parking.

Complete website appears to be up, including floor plans and pricing. Looks pretty good, and from the 1st floor plan, it would seem that there is some Armstrong-facing retail.
