AI Article Summary
Kevric has proposed a revised plan for its site at 65 through 87 Heward Avenue in Toronto's Studio District, adding predominantly residential towers alongside retail and film production space. The development includes four buildings ranging from 9 to 28 stories, with new public green space and enhanced bicycle and vehicular parking. The proposal significantly increases residential gross floor area while maintaining space for media production. It takes advantage of nearby transportation infrastructure, including the under-construction East Harbour station.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how urban developers are increasingly combining residential spaces with commercial and cultural amenities to maximize land use in city centers. For Canadian builders, this means adapting to mixed-use designs that integrate residential, retail, and production spaces while aligning with evolving city regulations and infrastructure expansions. The emphasis on public space and transportation links highlights a growing trend to develop projects that enhance urban connectivity and living standards.
