A proposed development at 589 Eglinton Avenue East has secured approval from the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) for its settlement offer with the City of Toronto from March, 2024. The approved plan increases the height from 35 to 40 storeys and the number of residential units from 442 to 470.
Initially submitted as a 35-storey proposal in November, 2022, the application faced delays prompting an appeal to the OLT. It was resubmitted with the same storey count but a revised design in July, 2023 This culminated in a hearing in March, 2024, where a settlement offer was approved. The OLT’s endorsement led to the latest Site Plan Approval resubmission in July, 2024.
The LRA sent a letter on October 14, 2023 to the NYCC in support of the City’s position. https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2023/ny/comm/communicationfile-172882.pdf
