2674- 2704 Yonge Street and 19 ALEXANDRA Blvd

BACKGROUND

In September 2020 a rezoning application for this property at the southwest corner of Yonge and Alexandra was submitted by Triage Developments. The land assembly consists of the former Trull Funeral Home site and the low-rise apartment building to the south (2674-2704 Yonge Street). North York Community Council considered a preliminary report on November 4, 2020 which identifies issues to be addressed and resulted in the scheduling of a community consultation meeting. LPRO submitted a letter to the committee with our initial comments on the proposal.

A community consultation meeting was held in January 2021. Revised plans for a 9-storey condominium building were submitted in December 2021. The new proposal involved a small expansion of Snider Parkette and a new pathway to connect Snider Parkette to Alexandra Blvd. 

North York Community Council and City Council gave final approval to the proposal in June and July 2022 respectively: demolition of the existing three-storey apartment building containing 31 rental dwelling units and ground-level retail along Yonge Street, and a Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a nine-storey mixed-use building with ground-level retail on Yonge. The proposed building had 91 dwelling units, 31 of which dwelling units were rental replacement. The developer also committed to paying for the restoration of the Alexandra Gates, in consultation with the Councillor for Ward 8, LPRO and neighbouring residents.

APPROVED PROPOSAL

In 2024  the original developer, AMDEV, entered into a partnership with another developer, Rockport. The adjacent property, 19 Alexandra, had been purchased to accommodate a much larger building than the 9-storey condominium originally proposed. Instead the developer wants to build a 13-storey AMICA luxury retirement residence.  The new development application is on the City of Toronto website: 2674-2704 YONGE ST & 19 ALEXANDRA BLVD

The proposal, which is 60% taller, 95% bigger (by gross floor area) and extends an additional 50 ft. into the residential area on Alexandra, includes:

  • a 13-storey seniors residence with residential suites, assisted living suites and memory care suites
  • a total 206 residential units consisting of studios, 1-bedroom, 1-bedroom + den and 2-bedroom units.
  • A paved pick up/drop off forecourt along the western property line will be provided, leading to 1 level of below-grade parking, providing a total of 24 parking spaces.

A Community Consultation Meeting took place on in April 2025. In July 2025 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 was given final approval by Toronto City Council later that month.
