The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on September 18, 2025 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to permit a 206-metre (65-storey, excluding the mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building containing approximately 784 residential units at 2323-2329 Yonge Street.

The Official Plan Amendment application was submitted for two sites, 2323-2329 Yonge Street and 2345 Yonge Street, which are under the same ownership, to allow for a reduction in the required amount of replacement office space. In line with the Council-approved city-wide office replacement policy directions, each site will instead secure a combination of non-residential gross floor area and/or affordable housing.

A separate Zoning By-law Amendment application (21 220609 STE 12 OZ) was submitted for a proposed development at 2345 Yonge Street and is currently under review. This application will be the subject of a future decision report.
