A Toronto developer is proposing what it calls a “landmark” condo building for the corner of Wellington Street West and Island Park Drive, months after the city shot down the company’s first proposal.
Mizrahi Developments wanted to build a 12-storey building at 1445 and 1451 Wellington St. West, but council turned down the project because the proposed height exceeded what the rules allow for that location.
The developer appealed the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board, which offered two options in its May decision: Cap the building at nine storeys or demonstrate “landmark” architecture for the top of the building sufficient enough to persuade the board to allow 12 storeys.
Mizrahi Developments’ first design for its West Wellington condo proposal.
The latest renderings released by Mizrahi now show a building with a pronounced green roof and pointy corner tower, a nod perhaps to the Confederation Building on Parliament Hill. Gone from earlier renderings are the glass-enclosed top floors and projecting balconies.
Mizrahi has pushed for the additional height because the site is contaminated and requires costly remediation. A nine-storey project just isn’t financially viable at the location, Mizrahi has said.
Although council refused the first proposal, the developer won over many nearby residents who were impressed with the company’s various attempts to consult the public and incorporate the feedback into the plan.
Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper will host a public meeting on Sept. 24 to give residents an opportunity to comment on Mizrahi’s revised proposal. The meeting will be held at Kitchissippi United Church (630 Island Park Dr.) from 6-9 p.m.
Mizrahi and the city have until Nov. 7 to report back to the OMB.
