Accordion-shaped condo tower would eclipse a block of Toronto bungalows Toronto TorontoRealEstate RealEstate
seeks to bring a 33-storey condo tower to the northeast corner of Marlee and Viewmount.
The site is home to a two-storey building containing businesses and apartments along Marlee Avenue, and a small bungalow along Viewmount Avenue, all of which would be demolished to make way for the proposed condo tower. As tall as the proposal is compared to its surroundings, it could — and probably will — be argued by planners that it is the existing bungalows on Viewmount that are out of character with the nearby Glencairn station, rather than the tower being out of character with the existing low-rise residential.
A planning report prepared on behalf of the developer indeed argues that, despite the height discrepancy, the plan"conforms to and is consistent with provincial planning framework including policies pertaining to settlement areas, intensification, transit-supportive development, compact urban form, compatibility with the surrounding area, infrastructure and urban design." takes a playful departure from the standard boxy Toronto condo tower.
