Description

The proposal is to construct a new 49-storey mixed-use building with three levels of underground parking. The ground level includes a shared residential and office lobby as well as retail and commercial uses fronting onto Danforth Avenue and a portion of Pape Avenue. Office uses are proposed from the third to fifth floors and the residential use is proposed from the sixth to 49th floors. Above the 49th floor is the mechanical penthouse and an indoor and outdoor amenity space. Additional indoor amenity spaces are located on the sixth and seventh floors and an additional outdoor amenity space is proposed on the sixth floor with access to the indoor amenity space. The proposal includes a total of 496 dwelling units, 29,756 sq. m (320,291 sq. ft.) of residential gross floor area (GFA) and 4,743 sq. m (51,053 sq. ft.) of non-residential GFA. The total proposed GFA is 9,997.4 sq. m, resulting in a FSI of 20.63.

Comparison with similar applications

Lobbied applications are compared only with unlobbied applications of the same type, in the same ward, submitted in the same year and of the same size band (units or floor area from the description; sub-type for Committee of Adjustment files). Unlobbied applications are weighted to match the lobbied group. Raw lobbied versus unlobbied averages are not reported.

Submission to the first decision status seen in our daily loads (measured from launch). Approval and refusal rates are among applications with a recorded decision.

Large and complex applications attract both lobbying and longer reviews, and matching cannot remove every difference between applications, so a difference does not show that lobbying changed how an application was reviewed.

Lobbyists choose whom to contact, so a difference does not show a change of mind.
