Accel Construction Management Inc. is constructing a 7-storey residential condominium building at 10 Prince Arthur Avenue. Currently, the north side sidewalk and a 3.6 metre wide portion of the eastbound lane on Prince Arthur Avenue, between a point 60.6 metres west of Avenue Road and a point 36.5 metres further west is closed to accommodate a construction staging area.

Toronto and East York Community Council, at its meeting on June 22, 2023, approved the subject construction staging area on Prince Arthur Avenue from June 23, 2023 to June 30, 2024. The developer has requested an extension of the duration of the construction staging area on Prince Arthur Avenue, as the site has experienced a number of delays due to inclement weather, unforeseen issues with the heritage component, and delays in civil services.

Transportation Services is requesting authorization to extend the duration of the construction staging area on Prince Arthur Avenue for an additional 5 months, from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 to allow for the construction of the development to be completed.
