Two new rental projects provide examples of how housing can be added in existing communities
Where there was one, there are now 10. Where there were none, there are now 11. Housing units, that is, at 377 Broadview Ave. and 367 Howland Ave. in Toronto.
Until now: in May, 2023, the City of Toronto amended both the Official Plan and the zoning by-law to allow “multiplex” buildings citywide and changes to the way development fees are charged on them. And while 377 Broadview Ave. and 367 Howland Ave. were both complete or almost complete by then, they demonstrate what can – and will – happen to our streets in the coming years.
Mr. Race is standing in front of a handsome, creamy-white and black, three-storey building near Toronto’s famous Casa Loma. The building presents itself to neighbours as, perhaps, a semi-detached where two families might live, but look a little closer and four front doors present themselves. That’s because, where a single-family home once stood, GreenStreet has built an eight-unit, micro-apartment building where every unit is large enough to contain two bedrooms and one bath.
In 2018, however, Ms. Hui hired Studio JCI to unite all three façades via some sort of architectural element as well as transform the top two floors of the middle and north buildings into additional rental housing. While obtaining permissions and the global pandemic slowed things down, by the end of last year the project was complete.
Which is just as well, since with bold graphics and bright orange stairs the two buildings now resemble a boutique hotel, and the 11 new, one-bedroom units are well organized and filled with light. The unit this writer toured has a double-height entry, a view of the 13-metre high Zhong Hua Men Archway on Gerrard Street and a roof deck that must’ve been 350 square feet.
