The applicant’s description
Site Plan Approval application to permit three new buildings on the lands, comprising a 47-storey mixed-use building with 5,770 square metres of non-residential uses in the lower floors and 620 dwelling units, a 21-storey building with 300 dwelling units, and a 9-storey building with 65 dwelling units, including 27 replacement rental units. A 2,209 square metre public park and enhanced open spaces with a range of programming across the site are proposed. A new public street, which would extend Rose Avenue through to the northern boundary of the site and a series of private streets across the site are proposed. The proposal includes modifications to the layout and uses within the existing buildings to create new amenity and non-residential spaces, which would result in the loss of 27 existing rental dwelling units that would be replaced in the new 9-storey building. The remaining 2,197 rental dwelling units are proposed to be retained, along with 2,986 square metres of existing non-residential space. The existing and proposed buildings would result in 3,182 dwelling units with a gross floor area of 224,675 square metres, and 8,756 square metres of non-residential gross floor area, for a total gross floor area of 233,431 square metres across the site.From the City’s development applications data, as written.
