46-Storey Tower Proposed near Finch Station
AI Article Summary
A 46-storey residential tower is proposed west of Finch Station in Toronto's North York area by Oulahen Team Realty Inc, with designs by Turner Fleischer Architects. The project includes 636 condos, a mix of studio to three-bedroom units, and ground-level retail on a compact site. It aims to maximize density in the Finch Protected Major Transit Station Area, close to major transit options like the TTC and future Yonge Line extensions. The proposal seeks amendments to existing zoning and planning guidelines to accommodate the building's larger floor plate.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how urban densification around transit nodes is driving demand for mixed-use high-rise developments in Toronto. For Canadian builders, this means navigating complex zoning amendments to meet the city's evolving urban density targets. The integration with major transit systems may also impact project timelines and costs due to the need for coordination with public transit authorities.
