The Toronto and East York Community Council forwards the Item to City Council without recommendation.

The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on February 19, 2026 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This report recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit the development of two connected bar buildings of five and six storeys, with towers of 51- and 47-storeys respectively. The proposed total residential gross floor area is 68,288 square metres. Residential uses, including a proportion of affordable rental units, are located within the podiums and towers.

The non-residential gross floor area is 6,123 square metres, of which 1,489 square metres is intended for ground floor retail. A combination of Production, Interactive and Creative (“PIC”) non-residential uses will be dedicated to the remaining 4,643 square metres. The total gross floor area of the proposal is 74,734 square metres.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The proposed applications are consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conform to the City's Official Plan, including the Central Waterfront Secondary Plan. This proposal was also reviewed concurrent with ongoing publicly-led precinct planning for the McCleary District, where this property is located.
