This proposal is for a 4-storey residential building, that will be rental in tenure, located at 409 Huron Street.  Currently, this address is home to 40 rental units that will be incorporated into the new design, featuring studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom units for a total of 86 units.  The design will incorporate the existing heritage home to create an architecturally sensitive blend of old and new.

visually engaging streetscape, supporting an enhanced public realm on Huron Street.

It is also situated in the incredibly pedestrian-friendly University of Toronto St. George Downtown Campus. This location allows for ease of access and supports alternative modes of transportation for potential residents.

  • What are you planning for the site?
    This proposal intends to build upon the existing residential use on site while preserving the heritage features of the existing building. The proposed new building would replace the existing rental stock as well as introduce condominiums in an unique form.
  • Will there be student housing?
    We anticipate that our proposed new units will appeal to a wide variety of tenants and home owners, these could include graduate students from the University of Toronto or empty nesters of the Huron Sussex neighbourhood.
  • What will happen to the original house on the property?
    The original house will be incorporated into the design of the new building to create an architecturally sensitive blend of old and new.
  • Where will the surface parking go?
    The surface parking lot to the immediate north of the current structure will become a part of the new building’s footprint. Vehicle parking will be accommodated below grade along with various bicycle parking spots.
  • I currently live on the site, will I be able to return to the new building once it is complete?"
    The City of Toronto has rental replacement policies for existing tenants, follow this link to learn more https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/official-plan-guidelines/housing/
  • What is the timing for this project?
    The process for development applications is not set in stone and is subject to approval by City Council. Currently, our plan is to submit our application for review in March 2019.
