The application proposes to demolish 154 existing social housing units at 1-154 Swansea Mews (21 Windermere Avenue) and redevelop the site within a 35-storey building and a 20-storey building (including 5 to 8-storey podium), including 154 replacement social housing units. A Tenant Relocation and Assistance Implementation Plan will be provided to lessen hardship for impacted tenants. A related Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application (25 250881 STE 04 OZ) has been approved by the Ontario Land Tribunal.

A Rental Housing Demolition application (25 256278 STE 04 RH) under Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006 (Chapter 667 of the Municipal Code) has been submitted to permit the demolition.  Under the City of Toronto Act, 2006, the demolition of a rental property with six or more dwelling units is prohibited without obtaining a permit from the City. Decisions by City Council on the Rental Housing Demolition application are not subject to appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT).

Detailed information regarding the demolition proposal, including background information and materials, may be obtained by contacting Jamilla Mohamud, Planner, Strategic Initiatives, Policy and Analysis at 416-338-2002 or by email at Jamilla.Mohamud2@toronto.ca.
