Scarborough 13-Storey Rental Along Eglinton East LRT

It has been submitted to the City of Toronto for the redevelopment of 2823 Eglinton Avenue East in Scarborough with a 13-story mixed-use building that will include retail space on the ground floor, as well as 169 apartments for rent. The site is located on the southwest corner of Eglinton Avenue East and Oswego Road, just east of Danforth Road, and now houses two buildings united by their north façade. The single-story business structure at 2827 Eglinton Avenue East, located west of Eglinton Avenue, is currently home to a mattress store and an auto cleaning shop. There is also a single-story business structure at 2829 Eglinton Avenue East, which is currently unoccupied and was once a bar. The properties to the south of the building have low-rise residences on them. Eglinton Avenue is a mix of low-rise residential and commercial buildings to the east and west of the intersection. The overall gross floor area (GFA) of the proposed complex is 15,770m2, of which 14,850m2 is residential GFA and 920m2 is retail space designed by IBI Group. In this case, the density would be 5.61 FSI. Five two-story townhomes would line the Oswego Road frontage of the structure, which would have 169 rental residential apartments. 86 one-bedroom units (51 percent), 64 two-bedroom units (38 percent), and 19 three-bedroom units would make up the residential unit mix (11 percent ). A rental option is being considered for each and every one of the units. Along with the remainder of Eglinton Avenue East's frontage, which ends at Oswego Road, there would be retail establishments. The northern and western parts of the ground floor have been planned to be surrounded by shop space. The residential lobby would be located on the ground floor, just south of the retail space on Oswego Road, with access from the sidewalk. On the second and third floors of the base structure, in addition to the 115 resident spots and 12 visitor spaces in the bike storage room on level 2, there are a variety of rental units and internal amenity areas. The southwest corner of the 338m2 of interior amenity space would be adjacent to an equal amount of outdoor amenity terrace. A one-level below-grade parking garage with 44 resident parking spaces, 10 guest parking spaces, and 8 retail parking spaces is proposed; it would be accessed through a ramp positioned along the rear driveway. Outside, on the ground level, there is a proposal for two pick-up/drop-off parking places. Eglinton Avenue East's business establishments along Eglinton Avenue East could benefit from the installation of an outside bike parking area for eight vehicles. Transit options are plentiful at this location thanks to six TTC bus lines, some of which run to the Kennedy subway and Go station that is located just 1.6 kilometres west of the site. Eglinton GO station is 950 metres away to the east. After the completion of the Crosstown Line 5, which will run west from Kennedy Station, this structure can be constructed. Danforth Road, approximately 200 metres west of the site, could be a possible station on a future eastward extension of the line.
