A proposed condo complex at 50 Eglinton Ave. W. will be even taller, according to a new rezoning application filed on April 15 with the City of Toronto.
Madison Group, the developer of the two-tower project, has filed plans to increase the heights of a proposed mixed-use, two-tower condo complex at 50 Eglinton Avenue West from 35- and 37-storeys to 46- and 58-storeys.
Last year, the towers were approved for heights of 33 and 35 storeys, but at the beginning of 2024, the developer filed — and was approved — for height increases to 35 and 37 storeys.
This latest height increase will result in a total gross floor area of 73,305.m2, comprised of 71,992 m2 of residential gross floor area (GFA) and 1,313 m2 of non-residential GFA at-grade.
A total of 1,206 residential units are proposed — 553 units in the west tower and 653 in the east tower. The overall amenity space will be around 3,271.7 m2, with 2,155.8 m2 of indoor amenity space and 1,115.9m2 of outdoor amenity space.
Vehicle and loading access to the development will continue to be provided from the future east–west private laneway on-site, connecting Henning Avenue and Duplex Avenue.
For parking, three levels of underground parking are proposed, containing a total of 230 vehicular parking spots — 156 spots for residents, 14 for visitors, and 60 for non-residential (retail) spaces. Eight parking spaces will be accessible.
There will be 1,217 bicycle parking spaces — 1,089 long-term and 128 short-term.
The complex, designed by Turner Fleischer Architect and Audax Architecture, is currently in pre-construction on the northwest corner of Eglinton Avenue West and Duplex Avenue in midtown Toronto. It’s just one of many condo proposals in the area. A pre-application community consultation meeting was held last Wednesday to discuss a proposal to build a 59-storey–187-metre-tall residential building at 54-70 Brownlow Avenue, just south of Eglinton Avenue East and north of Soudan Avenue.
In the consultation meeting held on April 17, neighbourhood residents were briefed about the proposal, which includes replacing a row of townhomes spanning the project site with the new residential tower.
Images and information shared during last Wednesday’s presentation are spreading online, although plans may (and likely will) be revised when a formal application is filed with city planners.
