Along the Eglinton Avenue East corridor in Scarborough\u2019s Ionview neighbourhood, new plans call for a portion of a vacant commercial plaza site to be redeveloped with a 35-storey mixed-use condominium tower. Designed by Graziani + Corazza Architects for\u00a0The Rose Corporation<\/a>, the proposal at\u00a02347-2369 Eglinton Avenue East<\/a> would sit within both the Kennedy and Ionview Protected Major Transit Station Areas on the\u00a0Eglinton Line 5<\/a>, continuing the area\u2019s intensification following the arrival of higher-order transit.<\/p>\n

The site is on the south side of Eglinton Avenue East, just west of Kennedy Road. The lands are currently occupied by a vacant one-storey commercial plaza and a large surface parking lot. Surrounding uses reflect the area\u2019s ongoing transition from auto-oriented commercial strips toward higher-density mixed-use development.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The proposal applies only to the western portion of the plaza property beside an existing apartment building.\u00a0MHBC Planning<\/a> has submitted a Zoning By-law Amendment application to the City of Toronto on behalf of the developer.<\/p>\n

Proposed is a 35-storey mixed-use tower rising from a four-storey podium, reaching 138.5m. Positioned toward the northern portion of the site along Eglinton Avenue East, the building would contain 26,299m\u00b2 of Gross Floor Area, including 25,852m\u00b2 dedicated to residential uses and 447m\u00b2 of ground-floor retail space, resulting in a Floor Space Index of 4.5 times coverage of the 5,838m\u00b2 site. The development would deliver 375 condominium units, consisting of 159 one-bedroom units, 75 one-bedroom plus den units, 105 two-bedroom units, and 36 three-bedroom units. Four elevators are proposed within the tower, resulting in a ratio of approximately one cab for every 94 units, indicating reasonable response times when all elevators are operating.<\/p>\n

The project includes 1,683m\u00b2 of amenities split between 750m\u00b2 of indoor and 933m\u00b2 of outdoor area on the ground and fifth floors. At grade, the development proposes a 354m\u00b2 POPS (Privately Owned Publicly-accessible Space) along the western edge of the site fronting Eglinton Avenue East.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One underground parking level and at-grade parking areas would include a total of 139 parking spaces, including 127 resident spaces and 12 visitor spaces, with six accessible spaces overall and three visitor spaces designated for electric vehicles. The proposal includes 119 bicycle parking spaces, split between 80 long-term and 39 short-term spaces, with underground and at-grade bicycle parking for residents, visitors, and retail users.<\/p>\n

The site is within one of Scarborough\u2019s most transit-connected corridors, located roughly 100m from the Ionview stop on Eglinton Line 5, approximately 380m from Kennedy station on Danforth Line 2, and about 585m from Kennedy GO station on the Stouffville corridor. The area is also served by multiple TTC surface routes, while cycling facilities run along Eglinton Avenue East.<\/p>\n

The proposal joins other high-density redevelopment activity in the Kennedy-Eglinton area. To the south,\u00a0708 Kennedy Road<\/a> has been proposed with towers rising 21 and 38 storeys, while to the east,\u00a02425 Eglinton Avenue East<\/a> would introduce another 35-storey tower near Kennedy Road. Further east, the\u00a0Kennedy Green Co-Ops<\/a> redevelopment is bringing three towers ranging from 18 to 40 storeys, while to the west, plans for\u00a02200 Eglinton Avenue East<\/a> call for a six-tower community, with\u00a0Phase 1<\/a> including towers of 32 and 48 storeys.<\/p>\n
