Parallax Proposes 19-Storey Student Residence Near University Of Toronto

Parallax Development Corporation plans to build a 19-storey student residence near the University of Toronto in Kensington-Chinatown. The project, previously approved for a 12-storey mixed-use building, aims to deliver 629 units and a total of 746 beds with significant amenity space. This development, designed by Rafael & Bigauskas Architects, is influenced by Toronto's new mid-rise building guidelines, promoting higher-density student housing. If approved, the construction will replace existing single-story buildings and provide substantial bicycle parking facilities.
