Groupe Heafey is proposing a development that includes four (4) high-rise apartment buildings on the subject lands at 1740-1760 St-Laurent Boulevard, which range in height from 12 to 15 storeys. The development is proposed to be accessed from St. Laurent Boulevard, extending Everest Private from the west. This access entrance will be upgraded to a full movement access with a traffic signal control as part of the right-of-way works contemplated for this development. Bollards placed within Everest Private west of the subject lands will segment vehicular traffic, with access to the proposed development limited from St. Laurent Boulevard. A hydro easement is located along the northern and eastern edge of the property.
The extension of Everest Private through the centre of the subject lands will provide access to the interior of the proposed development from St. Laurent Boulevard and provide pedestrian connections and emergency vehicle access to the Alta Vista Ridge developments. Everest Private will also provide vehicular access for Tower 1, which includes the parking lot and at-grade drive through facility for the restaurant. A second vehicular access is provided at the south end of 1760 St-Laurent Boulevard, which will provide access to surface parking and the underground parking entrance for Towers 3 and 4. Vehicles can exit the surface parking and underground parking access between Tower 4 and Tower 3 and reach Everest Private through the driveway beneath a cantilevered portion of the Tower 3 podium. This configuration will allow vehicles to exit and turn left onto St-Laurent Boulevard through the proposed signalized intersection.
The parking will consist of three (3) underground levels divided into two parking garages. Tower 1 and Tower 2 will share one of the parking garages, with the other shared between Tower 3 and Tower 4. Underground parking entrances for both garages are proposed in the interior of the site, with Tower 2 providing access on its east side and Tower 4 providing access on its southeast façade.
Tower 1 is a 15-storey mixed use building located at 1740 St-Laurent Boulevard, replacing the existing gas station at the northeast corner of the subject lands (Figure 13). The building is proposed to accommodate a drive-through St-Hubert restaurant on the ground floor. Approximately 1,176 square metres of commercial space is proposed at grade and in a mezzanine space for additional dining above the ground floor. The mezzanine opens onto a second-floor terrace for use by the restaurant located on the south side of the podium. To reinforce this commercial presence at grade, the podium design includes a change in colour and materials for the restaurant portion of the façade. The commercial façade is also replicated on Tower 3 for its commercial presence along St-Laurent Boulevard.
Tower 2 is a 12-storey residential building located on the western half of 1740 St-Laurent Boulevard on the site of the existing parking lot. This building is proposed as entirely residential, with the underground parking access provided via separate entry and exit points at grade on the east and north sides of the building, respectively. Surface parking spaces are proposed between Tower 2 and Tower 1, accessed by the driveway connecting from Everest Private. The driveway leads to the underground parking access and the drive-through beneath Tower 1. Additionally, surface parking is located on the north side of Tower 2 beneath a terrace covering the underground parking exit.
Tower 3 is a 15-storey mixed-use residential building spanning the front half of 1754 and 1760 St-Laurent Boulevard. Currently, this is where the St-Hubert’s restaurant operates in addition to the commercial plaza at 1760 St-Laurent Boulevard. A total of 1,364 m2 of commercial space is proposed, including ground floor and second floor spaces. A loading space located at the rear of the commercial units on the west façade will serve the tenants. As discussed for Tower 1, Tower 3 also replicates the same commercial podium along St-Laurent Boulevard creating a defined streetscape along this approximately 155-metre-long frontage.
Tower 4 is a 12-storey residential building located on the rear western portions of 1754 and 1760 St-Laurent Boulevard. Currently, this area is used for surface parking by the commercial uses on the east side of the property. The tower is accessible via an entrance that fronts onto Everest Private across from the entrance of Tower 2. The access to the underground parking is located at the southwest corner of the building below grade. The building is similar to Tower 3 in its L-shaped form, which frames the garden amenity area. Residential units have access to private balconies along all facades of the building. Two terraces are created by stepbacks above the 12th floor on the north and southwest side of the building.
