DEVELOPMENT PLANNING
July 29, 2024 by Anthony Teles   1.4K 
Luxury Mid-Rise Proposed North of Spadina and St Clair West


share  tweet  share  comment 1

In Toronto's Forest Hill Village, a boutique mid-rise condominium proposed
within walking distance of St Clair West station diverges from the usual
verticality and density in Major Transit Station Areas (MTSA) with a modest
seven storeys. Designed by Richard Wengle Architect for DealCore Properties, the
building would offer 24 spacious three-bedroom units.

The development site at 1 through 19 Thelma Avenue comprises an assembly of 10
properties, with a total area of approximately 1,486m². Currently, the site
contains two single detached houses and eight semi-detached houses, which are
all vacant and in various states of disrepair. The subject site previously
contained 11 rental units, with the previous land owner submitting a Rental
Housing Demolition and Conversion Application in 2020, with an addendum
proposing the off-site replacement of these 11 rental units within a new
apartment development on Bayview Avenue.

The site is situated in a predominantly low-rise residential neighbourhood,
characterized by detached dwellings and low-rise apartment buildings, with
higher-density developments located further south towards St Clair Avenue West.

The combined Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application calls for a
7-storey residential condominium standing 27.85m in height and with 24 units,
ranging in size from 184m² to 283m². The Gross Floor Area (GFA) is planned to be
5,737m², set to be entirely residential, resulting in a Floor Space Index (FSI)
of 3.86.

Amenities would be located on the seventh storey at the mechanical penthouse
level, including 125m² of indoor and 58m² of outdoor space. With two elevators
resulting in one for every 12 units, residents would have minimal wait times.

Parking provisions include a two-level underground garage with a total of 55
vehicle parking spaces, of which 48 are designated for residents and 7 for
visitors. The development would also feature 36 bicycle parking spaces, with 7
short-term spaces located at the front of the building and 29 long-term spaces
within the underground garage. In line with Toronto Green Standard requirements,
the vehicle parking spaces would be equipped with electric vehicle (EV) charging
outlets, promoting sustainable transportation options.

The site is served by the Spadina Road bus, which runs just west of the site,
the Avenue Road bus, and the 512 St Clair streetcar. St Clair West subway
Station on Line 1 is situated roughly 800m southwest, providing easy access to
Downtown, or Yorkdale and beyond. The area also features cycling infrastructure
with on-street shared cycling connections on Russell Hill Road for north-south
travel and Heath Road for east-west travel, with connections to multi-use trails
through Cedarvale Park, to the west.

There is greater density in development applications closer to the subway
station, while this submission's height is in line with its immediate
surroundings, resulting in a mix of low, mid, and high-rises. Southwest of the
site, proposals for 382 and 390 Spadina Road include buildings of 3 and 6
storeys, respectively, while the South Forest Hill Residences under construction
will feature towers of 20 and 21 storeys. Southward, closer to St Clair Avenue
West, 271 Russell Hill Road is under construction with a 4-storey building, and
429 Walmer Road is proposed to rise to 20 storeys. To the west, proposals for
1563 and 1601 Bathurst Street include buildings of 3 and 8 storeys.
Additionally, near St Clair West station, 91 Raglan Avenue is proposed at 26
storeys, and Raglan House is under construction, set to reach 28 storeys.
