The applicant’s description
Official Plan Amendment proposing redevelopment of the Hearn Power Generating Station. The site is subject to the Port Lands Area Specific Policies of the City's Central Waterfront Secondary Plan, which envisions the Hearn as a catalytic destination for cultural, sport, entertainment, recreational and institutional uses within a revitalized iconic heritage building. The Hearn is surrounded by power generation and distribution infrastructure, port and heavy industrial uses and natural areas. Residential uses are not currently permitted. The application proposes 739,567 square metres of Gross Floor Area (GFA) including adaptive reuse of the existing power station building and development of seven new buildings with tower elements across the site. A mix of retail, commercial and other non-residential uses are proposed, together with 8,400 residential units and 2,522 vehicle parking spaces.From the City’s development applications data, as written.
