CLV Group Developments Inc. on behalf of TIP Gladstone LP has resubmitted this proposal for 951 Gladstone Avenue and 145 Loretta Avenue.
The proposed development consists of two (2) related components. The first is along Gladstone Avenue and contains retail, residential, and office components, anchored by the retained and restored Standard Bread Building on the east side, and a five (5) storey podium along the street. The podium uses a mix of red brick and concrete together on the first four floors before stepping back at the fifth storey. Black panels clad the fifth floor and articulate the lower floors of the podium to create visual interest and to reflect the industrial character of the surrounding area.
An internal pedestrian street provides access through the retail and office podium from Gladstone Avenue to the north end of the site and the other residential towers. Retail uses will animate this internal street that will act as an important pedestrian access into the site.
Above the retail and office podium is the tallest of the proposed residential towers at 35 storeys. The tower is set 4.78 metres back above the podium below along Gladstone, and approximately 20 metres from Loretta Avenue North. An enclosed rooftop amenity space is proposed to be integrated with the mechanical penthouse of the building also providing access to exterior amenity space on the rooftop. The mechanical systems on the rooftop are integrated into the building design.
The second component of the project is along Loretta Avenue North, and includes two additional residential towers focused on a central green space and drop-off court. The character of this area is significantly more residential in nature, with building and unit entrances, and common amenity spaces animating the space. Residential Tower 2 is located centrally on the site, abutting the rail corridor and features a five (5) storey base. The building has a total height of 33 storeys. Finally, Residential Tower 3 is located at the north end of the site and features a four (4) storey podium. Tower 3 has a total height of 30 storeys. Tower 3 also includes a rooftop enclosed amenity area for residents that is integrated with the mechanical penthouse.
Two Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS) are proposed on the site. The first is located along Loretta Avenue North and has an area of 375 square metres. The second POPS has an area of 444 square metres and is located between Towers 2 and 3 and has an area of approximately 444 square metres, providing access between Loretta Avenue North and the multi-use pathway along the west side of the Trillium Line corridor. Both spaces provide tree planting areas and reflect the urban nature of the site.
A total of 846 residential dwelling units are proposed within all three (3) residential buildings including a range of bachelor, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. Together with the residential, approximately 1,600 square metres of retail space and 16,450 square metres of office space are proposed.
A total of 570 parking spaces are proposed to serve the proposed development including 14 surface parking spaces in the central courtyard and 534 spaces within the two (2) storey underground parking garage. Access to the parking garage is proposed from two locations on Loretta Avenue. Given the proximity to rapid transit service, there are no minimum parking requirements for development on the subject property. A minimum of 30 visitor parking spaces is required.
A total of 502 bicycle parking spaces are provided within the development which includes 80 spaces for retail and office uses. The majority of the bike parking spaces will be provided within the underground garage, with some spaces provided at-grade for retail and office users, and for residential visitors.
The project will be developed in two phases, with the retail component, restoration of Standard Bread Building, and Residential Towers 1 and 2 being built in Phase 1. Tower 3 will be developed as part of Phase 2. The parking garage is anticipated to be constructed entirely within Phase 1.
