On July 3, 2025 North York Community Council held a public meeting to receive input on and review the development proposal in order to make recommendations to be forwarded to Toronto City Council for its consideration.
At the July 3 meeting North York Community Council voted 4-2 in favour of the developer’s application. Councillor Mike Colle and Councillor Rachel Chernos-Lin voted against approval. The application will now go to Toronto City Council for final approval. We do not have a date at this time.
To summarize from previous communications, the recent development proposal for this site is for a luxury seniors’ residence, owned and operated by AMICA, with:
-
220 seniors’ residence units, 31 rental replacement units
-
13 storeys with very high floor-to-floor heights
-
overall building height is 56.15 m or 184 ft
-
only 24 parking spaces which includes 4 visitors’ parking

This is a very tall and large foot-print structure that dwarfs other mid-rise buildings nearby on Yonge Street. It is also midway between the subway stops at Eglinton and Lawrence and outside of the designated Major Transit Station Area growth zones. It will set a precedent for other developments along the Yonge Street corridor to be at least this tall and this large. The building (with the acquisition and rezoning of the 19 Alexandra Blvd residence) will intrude deeply into the residential area along Alexandra Blvd and will provide poor transitioning (set-backs and step-backs) presenting an imposing, out-of-context hulk to the neighbouring properties.
