Two towers. 40 storeys each. One ‘iconic’ downtown development revealed

Posted on by kmerkus

Source: London Free Press – Norman De Bono

York Developments has unveiled plans for two huge residential towers on London’s waterfront at the forks of the Thames River as demolition starts on a former government building on the showpiece lands.

The developer envisions a $350-million development with two towers, each more than 40-storeys in height, that will be home to 800 units combined at 50 King St., York president Ali Soufan said.

“It’s exciting. It’s big-city. It’s New York-style architecture with a back-to-the river feel to it,” he said. “It’s a timeless design because it’s such an iconic location. We want it to withstand trends and be a design for future decades.”

York sent preliminary design proposals to city hall planning staff, which gave the developer feedback and the firm will have a rezoning application to the city by mid-March, Soufan said. “We want these to be iconic pillars for downtown, a landmark.”

Demolition at 50 King St., formerly home to the Middlesex-London Health Unit, began about a week ago. Soufan hopes to break ground by year-end with foundations poured in 2023.

Politicians have not seen the proposal, which has yet not gone to the city council’s planning committee for consideration. While Soufan plans each tower to be more than 40 storeys in height, the city’s Official Plan, or blueprint for development, limits towers in the core to 35 storeys.

“This is a marquee site. We’re excited to see what’s proposed,” said Coun. Stephen Turner, who sits on the council’s planning committee. “I will withhold judgment until I see the application, but 40 storeys is not consistent with the Official Plan.”

Soufan hopes bonusing provisions – a development policy that allows greater height if a development adds features such as better design, cultural space or affordable housing – will allow him to build more than 40 storeys.

Also, two other developments of that scale have been approved downtown. Old Oak Properties is building a 40-storey tower on Fullarton Street, the Centro development on the former Camden Terrace site. Farhi Holdings also has been approved for a 40-storey tower on Ridout Street at Harris Park.

“I don’t think it is an issue. There is precedence,” Soufan said. “This will offer a substantial amount of units we need now, more than ever.”

Coun. Anna Hopkins, chairperson of council’s planning committee, agreed there is ample precedent for supporting the height.

“It’s an exciting development, a great location and it’s about downtown revitalization,” Hopkins said. “We have other developments at that height. I want to know more about it, how it will fit, but if it works, I’m all for it.”

Soufan has not decided whether the units will be for sale or rent, he said.

He also envisions a third tower on site of a similar size to the other two proposed towers, about 350 units. The second phase of the development will be located near the historic Middlesex courthouse building, although there are no firm plans yet as to how that will be built.

“We’re in the preliminary stages,” he said.

The towers at 50 King are the largest development for York, but it remains busy with projects throughout the city.

Its more than 30-storey residential tower on King Street across from Covent Garden Market is under construction, as is a 17-storey tower near the Bostwick Community Centre, with plans to break ground soon on an additional tower on that site, Soufan said.

Soufan also has applied for a building permit for a tower at Wonderland and Southdale roads and is building commercial developments. York plans on adding residential subdivisions in southwest London and has acquired land in Arva, Kilworth and Komoka area for future projects.

“We are in need of more (housing) supply in the market and we want to bring on a lot of supply,” Soufan said.

York Developments keeps building in London’s southwest

Posted on by Admin

York Developments continues to grow in southwest London, in ways both big and small.

On the heels of a massive, $500-million, six-tower development approved by city council for Bostwick Road, the builder will be back at city hall in December with a modest, 12-unit townhouse development proposed for Tillman Road.

That, however, will be just down the road from a subdivision of more than 200 homes, called Silverleaf, that York is building at Pack and Colonel Talbot roads.

It is also near more than 1,000 homes York is building at 1959 Wharncliffe Rd., along with a $150-million, 61,000-square-metre commercial plaza at 3405 Wonderland Rd., anchored by a Lowe’s store.

“They own quite a bit of land there,” Coun. Anna Hopkins, who represents the area, said of York. “They are building Silverleaf and plan on a lot of further development along Bostwick.”

Adjacent to the Bostwick Community Centre, near where it will build 1,300 apartment units in its six towers, York also owns 300 acres of land it is planning to develop.

“We have not yet seen all they want to build. We need to know more about that. It is in the process. There is a lot,” Hopkins said.

While she supports the investment in residential and apartment building the city needs, Hopkins remains concerned about too much building, too quickly and what that will mean for traffic congestion in the area.

“I think the developer works well with the community, but we have to do our due diligence. We have approved a lot there,” said Hopkins.

Work on Silverleaf is now underway on 40 hectares. It will also feature medium-density development, in the form of townhomes. A second phase is also planned for the site, but the city does not yet have a plan for it, said Matt Feldberg, a city engineer with development services in the city.

“It is essentially about available land, there is a lot of area there for single-family homes, which developers are focusing on,” said Feldberg of why the area is popular.

“It is also about affordability,” he said of the growth in townhouse and highrise building. “With high density there is more types of housing available, more people can buy homes.”

As for traffic in the area, the city is now studying road capacity through an environmental assessment, and Southdale Road may be widened to four lanes within five years, he said.

But there are more developers than York building in the southwest. Sifton, Auburn, Southside and Z Group are also building or planning to. Southside is now building its sixth phase of Talbot Village on Colonel Talbot Road.

“There is a lot going on there,” said Feldberg.

York remains one of the busiest builders in the city — it’s also recently won approval for a 31-storey highrise on King Street downtown, across from the Covent Garden Market.

As for its Wharncliffe Road development, in 2015 York was approved to build 200 single-family homes and 900 medium-density units at 1959 Wharncliffe Rd. over 10 years.

The single family development is largely underway and the townhouse development is looming, said Feldberg.

For the 12-unit townhomes on Tillman Road, the land is already zoned for townhouse development. The project is going to the city’s planning and environment committee in early December for a minor rezoning, allowing the homes to be built on an irregular sized lot, said Catherine Lowery, a planner with the city.

“It is a technical application, they have to demonstrate it is a viable development,” she said. York could not reach a deal with an adjacent landowner to make the lot size more regular, she added.

$500-million multi-tower plan may change city’s southwest

Posted on by Admin

A massive $500-million, 1,300-unit residential development, one of the biggest in city’s history, may alter London’s southwest, said Coun. Anna Hopkins.

The 16 hectares of land surrounding the new Bostwick Community Centre may be home to six residential towers, an office complex, commercial space as well as parks and green space, redefining the area, said the city politician representing the community.

“It is a game changer. I am not sure that we fully realize what we are contemplating here, given the sheer size of the development,” said Hopkins.

“But it is a good thing, vital for our community. We are so used to being rural out there that getting around after this will be very different.”

York Developments want to build the site during a 10-year period and the matter will go to city council Nov. 20, one of the last matters on which this outgoing council will vote before the new council is sworn in.

“We need development there, but this is huge,” said Hopkins.

The development at 3080 Bostwick Road, at Southdale, was up for debate at a recent planning and environment committee meeting and died on a tie vote, 3-3, meaning the matter will go to council without a recommendation.

“I hope between now and council, we can work with staff to come up with a solution we hope council will look at it in a more finite light and we can provide detail,” Ali Soufan, president of York Developments, said after the meeting.

The matter came to committee as three separate proposals, on three parcels of land surrounding the community centre.

“There is a great demand for this type of housing in the city, specific to this area because of the sheer proximity to the new community centre,” said Soufan, also citing nearby commercial amenities on the Wonderland Road corridor.

“It is in a sweet spot.”

The entire site is designated high density, allowing for about 900 units with towers up to 12-storeys, but York wants higher density. Nearby highrises are full, with waiting lists, he said.

City planning staff support high density on the site of about 900 units, but the proposal would see too much built outside the urban transit corridor, said city planning director John Fleming.

To have such a high density plan outside that boundary would work against the city’s plan to grow “inward and upward” and along transit routes, the committee heard.

“This is one of the largest in terms of density, concentration and buildings,” Paul Yeoman, director of development services for the city, said of the Bostwick plan.

The city wants highrise towers closer to transit corridors, as large single-family subdivisions usually cannot locate in those areas, he said.

“We are always looking at how pieces fit together. The city has a vision for growth. High density is a big driver and when it is outside the boundary, it impacts that,” said Yeoman.

The urban transit corridor ends at Wonderland and Southdale, just east of the Bostwick development.

Coun. Jesse Helmer said the area and city needs high density highrises and the city has approved it for other developments such as Sifton’s West5.

“It does seem appropriate. I think housing is the thing we have to take on in London. We want to grow inward and upward, but we want to grow,” said Coun. Michael van Holst, who does not sit on the committee.

But Coun. Stephen Turner, planning chairperson, wanted the matter referred to staff to work out some details with hope it can be improved.

York donated 2.8 hectares of the 4.4 ha on which the Bostwick Community Centre is built, a donation valued at about $2.3 million. The city bought 1.6 ha for about $2 million to build a twin-pad arena.

“It is likely the most comprehensive, dynamic community centre of its kind in the country,” said Soufan.

The Thornicroft drain will run through the development and serve as the centrepiece for a park system. Soufan also has a block on Bostwick Road designated for a school, and will meet with school board officials in 2019 to discuss the possibility of adding a school to the area.

York also owns about 120 ha of land adjacent to the development zoned for medium density that may be targeted for future building, he said.

City politicians get first look at massive high-density development

Posted on by Admin

It was a first glimpse at a major high-density development that could one day include 504 residential units on 5.8 hectares of land bordered by Southdale Road and Bostwick Road.

On Tuesday, city council’s planning and environment committee received a draft plan for the major new development located within the Bostwick neighbourhood, planned by York Developments Inc.

“This is a landmark project for our community for decades to come,” said Mayor Matt Brown. “Communities across Canada are looking at this project.”

The project includes a variety of housing options including an 18- and 21-storey apartment tower, a mix of apartments and commercial and retail space, as well as two 12- and a 17-storey apartment towers.

“It’s intended to be a vibrant, exciting place to live with a mix of housing types,” said city planner Sonia Wise.

The subdivision would include stacked townhouses, public parks, recreational areas, senior citizens’ buildings, as well as apartment buildings for handicapped people, all on three new roads.

“There are four different applications that are all related,” Wise said.

Wise said the city still is working through issues and receiving and reviewing input from community.

“The application is still under review,” Wise said.

Coun. Tanya Park called the development “a well thought-out neighbourhood,” but said she wouldn’t go into detail, noting the committee wasn’t voting on it Tuesday.

If potential traffic and road-related snafus can be worked through, said Coun. Anna Hopkins, she believes the development is “the opportunity for a wonderful development.”

A second public participation meeting is yet to be scheduled.
