North Drive is constructing a 12-storey residential condominium building at 1 Roxborough Street West. The site is located on the southwest corner of Yonge Street and Roxborough Street West.

The project will be undertaken in multiple phases, with varying degrees of sidewalk and traffic lane closures on Roxborough Street West, as well as a full closure of Paul Hahn Lane. Phase 1 of the project will require a full closure of Paul Hahn Lane, between Roxborough Street West and a point 49 metres south for a period of 7 months, to facilitate excavation and shorting activities. In addition, a stopping prohibition will be implemented on the south side of Roxborough Street West to ensure safe inbound and outbound movements from access/egress points on the south side of Roxborough Street.

It should be noted that the approval of the construction staging permit is conditional on all construction vehicles following the designated haul route plan. Construction vehicles may only access on the construction gate on the south side of Roxborough Street West from Yonge Street.  Likewise, when egressing the site, construction vehicles may only travel eastbound to Yonge Street. Construction vehicles are prohibited from travelling westbound on Roxborough Street West to Avenue Road. It is the obligation of the developer to ensure that access into the site or egress movements out of the site are conducted safely.
