Park River Properties is proposing concurrent Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications to establish entitlements for facilitating the redevelopment of four assembled portions of land into a transit-oriented community consisting of low- to high-rise buildings of primarily residential use, parkland, and well-connected public realm space. The included properties are located at 322, 326, 327, and 330 Athlone Avenue, 1994 Scott Street, and 306, 314, 316, 317, 318, 320, 321, 323, 324, 327, 328, 333, and 335 Tweedsmuir Avenue.

The intent is for these parcels to be developed in the future either concurrently or in separate phases. A conceptual development plan has been prepared in support of the vision and the proposed applications, and serves, in part, to rationalize the requested approvals.

Parcel A1: Parcel Area 2,265.4 m2, Tower: 40 storeys (136m) + penthouse (6.5m), Podium: 10 storeys + mezzanine, Dwelling Units: 555, Commercial GFA: 444.5 m2
Parcel A2: Parcel Area 1,332.9 m2, Building: 4 storeys (15m) + penthouse (4.5m), Dwelling Units: 43
Parcel B: Parcel Area 1,650.3 m2, Tower: 29 storeys (99m) + penthouse (4.5m), Podium: 5 storeys + mezzanine, Dwelling Units: 290
Parcel C: Parcel Area 2,485.1 m2, Tower: 29 storeys (99m) + penthouse (4.5m), Podium: 5 storeys + mezzanine, Dwelling Units: 318

This shot really makes me hope something, anything, gets built north of the trench!

For this project, obviously its very ambitious, but I love the thought put to connecting McRae (almost) with Winona for pedestrians.

That Graham Sprye lot is for future OCH builds if I recall correctly. They are big into high rises for their future projects, so I expect that lot will get it's due.

That's why the designs are getting better!

This is such a great development coming in. I love how they will create an amazingly dense node beside the station. The variability and the nice tall heights is amazing. If it's topped out tomorrow, it'll be one of our highest. It's crazy to say that for so many upcoming that they'll all be in the top 10 basically. Amazing.

I'm really excited to see the full skyline from the CBD to Lansdowne to Tunneys/Westboro to Richmond to Bayshore. It's going to be a huge continuous line that I am SUPER AMPED FOR!!!

@hoggytime title should say 29-29-40s. Mechanical penthouses do not count as a storey.

Harley got confirmation from Park River on SSP that the mechanical penthouses also have amenity space.

I will believe it when I see it. I would have much preferred having site plan approval and construction started for their proposal at 2050 Scott Street. Nothing has happened for that project since a dev. App. document submission in Oct 2022. Park River properties seems to have great vision on paper but are unable to make anything a reality. This is proven by 3 previous proposals that have all gone dead.

then their architectural site plan and planning rationale is wrong and they will be getting comments from the city on it haha..

It says right on the plans the floor count + penthouse. I see them separated quite often even when the penthouse is/contains an amenity space.
