The Vision
With the upcoming Eglinton Crosstown LRT, we see an opportunity to contribute additional housing options within walking distance of rapid transit. We are proposing to redevelop the site with two residential towers that will provide new and modern homes for both existing tenants and future residents, in addition to making overall improvements to the property.
Guiding Principles
TRANSIT SUPPORTIVE DEVELOPMENT
This proposal will contribute additional housing to a site that is very
well serviced by higher order transit. The site is steps from Mount
Pleasant Station on the Eglinton Crosstown and a 12-minute walk
from Eglinton Station on TTC Line 1. New pedestrian connections are
also proposed to support people moving to and from the site and
through the neighbourhood.
MORE HOUSING OPTIONS
The proposal is for a new residential building (two 59-storey
towers connected by a 10-storey podium); with a total of 1,520 new
homes. The new building will contribute to the important need for
more housing in our city and include a diverse unit mix to
accommodate a variety of household sizes.
NEW OPEN SPACE & AMENITIES
New open space and amenities are proposed, contributing to a
livable community for both the building’s residents and broader
neighbourhood.
CURRENT SITE
The site is located on the south
side of Roehampton Avenue,
midblock between Mount
Pleasant Road and Rawlinson
Avenue. It is currently occupied
by a 12-storey residential
apartment building.
COMMITMENT TO EXISTING TENANTS AT 299 ROEHAMPTON
If the proposal is approved, eligible tenants in the existing 299 Roehampton rental building will have the
right to return to a brand-new apartment in the new building. The Residential Tenancies Act, and the
City of Toronto Official Plan, require specific consideration for existing tenants who may be impacted by
the proposal.
We look forward to communicating with tenants and informing them of updates throughout the process. We are available to answer questions at any time.
