Menkes Advances Dual-Tower Plan for Brownlow Avenue in Davisville Village
AI Article Summary
Menkes Developments has revised its plans for 61 Brownlow Avenue in Toronto’s Davisville Village, proposing two mixed-use towers of 55 and 60 storeys, designed by Turner Fleischer Architects. The site will include a purpose-built rental building and condominium units, totaling 1,409 homes. Demolition permits are approved, and construction will unfold in two phases, with a new mid-block pedestrian connection and parkland proposed. The development is positioned near the upcoming Mount Pleasant station on Eglinton Line 5.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how urban redevelopment in Toronto is progressively intensifying with high-rise mixed-use developments, aligning with public transit expansions like the Eglinton Line 5. For Canadian builders, this means navigating complex permitting processes and coordinating construction phases within urban settings. Additionally, meeting the demand for both rental and condominium units suggests heightened attention to diverse housing needs and collaborative urban planning.
