OVER 1,000 RESIDENTIAL UNITS, NEW PARK PROPOSED FOR LAWRENCE HEIGHTS


PROPOSED BY MAPLELANDS AND RIOCAN, THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD COMPRISE 22-, 24-, AND
26-STOREY TOWERS, AND REPLACE THE DUFFERIN PLAZA.

Big things could be headed for Lawrence Heights in the form of a 22-, 24-, and
26-storey mixed-use development that would come with 1,062 new residential units
— plus a new street and public park.

Official plan amendment, zoning by-law amendment, and plan of subdivision
applications for this ambitious project were submitted by developers RioCan
Living and Maplelands in June, and those are currently awaiting the City of
Toronto's review.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If approved, the project would represent a substantial addition to the North
York neighbourhood, bringing 75,715 sq. m of residential space, 1,215 sq. m of
retail space, and 2,031 sq. m of new parkland to the site. Of the 1,062 proposed
residential units, there are 19 studios, 588 one-bedrooms, 310 two-bedrooms, 115
three-bedrooms, and 30 townhouse units.

Currently, the 1.54-hectare site at 3140-3170 Dufferin Street and 60-68 Apex
Road is home to a single-storey, multi-unit commercial plaza building known as
Dufferin Plaza. The Plaza contains a variety of retail, personal service,
financial institution, and restaurant tenants.

In its place, the aforementioned three-tower complex has been proposed, which
would be divided across two mixed-use residential buildings. The development
consists of three blocks with Block 1 containing the 22- and 24-storey towers in
the eastern portion of the site, Block 2 containing the 26-storey building in
the south western portion, and Block 3 accommodating the new public park north
of Block 2. In between the east and west blocks would sit a new 18.5-metre wide
north-south public street — referred to in the planning documents as Street A —
connecting from Apex Road to a planned east-west road set for the northerly
boundary of the site.







Taking a closer look at the 22- and 24-storey towers of Block 1: these towers
would sit atop a shared square-shaped, one- to nine-storey podium with frontage
on Dufferin Street, Apex Road, Street A, and the planned northern road. At grade
would be 1,215 sq. m of commercial space and 13 townhouse units, with 705
residential units in the towers above. Residents of Block 1 would also enjoy
1,212 sq. m of indoor amenity space, 1,212 sq. m of outdoor amenity space, 314
vehicular parking spaces across a two-level underground parking garage, and 580
bicycle parking spaces.

Across the street, Block 2 would house the 26-storey building with an L-shaped,
one- to six-storey podium fronting on Apex Road and Street A. The podium would
accommodate 17 townhouse units with the remaining 357 residential units in the
tower above. Residents in the east building would enjoy a generous 2,460-sq.-m
indoor amenity space, 2,182 sq. m of outdoor amenity spaces, 192 vehicle parking
spaces across another two-level parking garage, and 292 bicycle parking spaces.







Block 2 would also benefit from unencumbered views of the planned 2,031-sq.-m
park. Initially, the public park was planned for the southwest corner of the
site, but was relocated to adjoin with park space with the adjacent development
at 3180 Dufferin Street in order to provide a "larger centralized public open
space amenity," according to the planning rationale executed by Bousfields Inc.

Zooming out, the proposed site is located within a vibrant junction proximate to
Yorkdale Shopping Centre, Highway 401, the Allen Expressway, and Lawrence West
subway station. The subject site is also well-served by local bus routes,
including the 29 Dufferin, 52 Lawrence West, 59 Maple Leaf, and the 47C
Lansdowne.

“Our customers will be attracted by the exceptional location, where they can
walk to the subway, to wonderful neighbourhood restaurants and cafes, and to the
most exciting shopping centre in Canada,” said Ibrahim Salib, Maplelands’ COO,
on the Maplelands website. “They will feel confident purchasing a beautiful new
home of outstanding quality, built by two respected and reputable developers,
committed to putting the customer at the centre of everything we do.”
