Updated proposal (June 2026)
The proposed development consists of four high-rise mixed-use towers situated at the four corners of the subject property. Each tower has been designed to conform to the City’s high-rise guidelines, with ample separation between the towers and clear distinctions between podium, tower, and top of the building. In total, the full development will provide 1,251 residential units.
The proposed towers range in height from 28 to 40 storeys, and feature four storey podiums for towers A and B, with six-storey podiums for towers C and C. The podiums feature active commercial or residential amenity uses at grade. A major focus of the site is the proposed centralized municipal park, this park is approximately 10% of the total site area with an additional POPS area provided that acts as a plaza for residents and brings green space further into the site. The municipal park fronts onto Baseline Road providing easy access to the broader community, and is situated equal distance between to the two southern-most high-rise towers with ample southern exposure.
Access to the site is off the existing shared right-of-way to the west, beside the existing retail plaza. A internal private way has been added to the site to provide vehicular access to all four buildings, with the primary access to the site located in the middle of the western property line. The private way continues east from the entrance, where the main lobbies of towers A and B are located, along with the entrance to their shared underground parking, the road passes the park and then turns north and connects to the road the runs along the northern property line. This private way on the north of the site connects to the existing right-of-way and provides access to the shared underground parking for buildings C and D, and could potentially connect to sites further to the East, if the opportunity arises.
The vast majority of the proposed parking is located below grade, with additional on grade parking spots for short term parking, drop off/pick-up, loading, and maintenance vehicles. At this time, the proposal includes a total (resident, visitor, commercial) parking ratio of 0.7 per unit as this site is very well served by public transit, and has access to services located nearby.
It should be noted the proposed development is intended to be constructed in phases. Phase 1 will proceed with tower A, with towers C and D following after that, while tower B will be held in reserve until the site has adequate access to municipal services that can accommodate the full number of occupants. When built out the site could contain 1,200 residential units within a total of 960,000sqft.
In addition to providing a parkland dedication of 1,109m2, the proposed development will include a privately owned public space (POPS) in the southeast corner of the site along Baseline Road. The plaza is intended to be a gathering place for the public along interface of the private and public realm. Adjacent to the POPS, the ground floor of building A will include active commercial uses at grade which foster a lively/active atmosphere along Baseline Road. Street trees are proposed to be planted along the Baseline Road ROW in addition to a wide sidewalk which enhances the public realm. The entrance to buildings A and D will have direct frontage onto the Baseline Road public realm.
Additional pedestrian connectivity pathways are included through the centre of the site connecting to Baseline Road, the shared drive aisle to the east, and the internal drive aisles, amenity spaces, and Building entrances throughout the overall site. Future connectivity is considered to the rear of the site to accommodate the planned future function of the area as the community evolves. This includes robust tree planting along the rear of the property where in interfaces with a large surface parking lot, and the rear-drive aisle design and location that allows for a future roadway extension and connection to adjacent properties. This provides for through block connections that support active transportation use and connectivity to active transportation infrastructure.
The proposed development includes commercial uses at-grade to animate the street and provide important services and commercial amenities to existing and future residents. The commercial space will interface positively with the public realm including the parkland, and POPS. In total, 938m2 of commercial area is included.
