2674- 2704 Yonge Street and 19 ALEXANDRA Blvd

On July 1, 2026, residents of the rental building on Yonge St were issued with a “Notice to vacate” effective Dec 31, 2026. Demolition is anticipated to commence shortly after that, proceeding to construction. Completion is anticipated in the first quarter of 2030.

The Construction Management Plan was approved by the North York Community Council on July 7, 2026. LPRO and local residents had provided some input into this before it was finalized, and LPRO has representation on the Construction Liaison Committee.

Neighbours and LPRO raised concerns about regular maintenance of the site and snow clearing that does not obstruct use of driveways on the north side of Alexandra. These and other matters will be addressed as the project progresses.

Rockport Group (the developer) has indicated the following:

• Construction hours: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday, with occasional Saturdays for critical issues (Saturday hours: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.).
• A construction crane will be on site from summer 2027, for 20
• Boarding will be erected around the site from the road surface of Alexandra Blvd.
• All construction activities will occur within the area delineated by the boarding with no truck stopping and no lining up of concrete trucks outside this area.
• The onsite traffic control person will guide construction vehicles in and out of the site and ensure the safe movement of vehicles.
• The construction site is accessed using one of three gates on Alexandra Blvd.
• Most construction trucks such as smaller trailers and concrete trucks will enter the site by travelling south on Yonge St onto Alexandra Blvd and will exit the site following the same route.
• Some larger delivery vehicles will enter the site from Yonge and exit the site west along Alexandra Blvd., south on Duplex Ave to Lytton Blvd., east on Lytton Blvd. to Yonge St.

Pedestrian use of the north side of Alexandra Blvd. and the west and east sides of Yonge St. will not be affected by the project. East-west traffic on Alexandra Blvd. will also not be affected. However, there will be no sidewalk access or parking on the south side of Alexandra Blvd. for the entire length of the construction site.

Rockport agreed to hold regular meetings with the Construction Liaison Committee and to provide monthly updates on the project website that will be activated when demolition/ construction starts. Updates and communication will go through LPRO and the Councillor’s office. Emergency contact numbers will be posted on construction hoarding and on their website for after-hours inquiries. There will also be an email address for community inquiries .
