7 d. ago 11 houses across from Toronto park could be torn down for pair of large towers

A substantial development proposed for a pocket of low-rise housing across the street from Toronto's High Park could see 11 houses torn down to make way for a pair of towers with unique, curving exteriors.Developer Elysium has assembled the group of houses fronting Oakmount Rd. and Mountview Ave., just north of Bloor St. W. and northwest of the TTC's High Park subway station.Elysium hopes to gain approval to rezone and raze the site with a plan to construct a large-scale rental development with towers rising 41 and 39 storeys in place of the current homes.The plan features a striking design from Teeple Architects that would strongly contrast the expanse of beige-brown 20th-century apartment towers that dominate the local skyline, boasting curved facades clad in a distinctive patterned treatment.With heights as tall as almost 145 metres, the towers would be significantly taller than existing apartment towers in the neighbourhood. However, unlike the condo towers that tend to ...

2 w. ago Locals are totally up in arms about proposed 'giant monolith' Toronto tower

A planned rental tower on the cusp of approval by Toronto City Council has fired up local residents in the affluent Avenue and St. Clair area, characterizing the planned building as a "monstrosity" and "giant monolith" that threatens the safety of the area.The proposal from developer Fitzrovia and Hariri Pontarini Architects at 135 St. Clair Ave. W. would see the current government office building at the southeast corner of Avenue Rd. and St. Clair razed to make way for a 49-storey rental tower with 576 new apartments, retail, public art, and an early childhood education centre.But despite the concessions made in height and other departments introduced since the plan was first proposed in 2024, residents of the surrounding area — one of the most affluent in Toronto — have taken up all of the familiar talking points about how large-scale developments would unacceptably impact their day-to-day lives.Currently recommended for approval by City planners, t...

2 w. ago Landmark Toronto century house for sale at $4 million or you could just rent it

Why has one of the most unique properties in downtown Toronto been sitting on the market for nearly two years?That's the question hanging over 17 Isabella Street, the historic mansion near Yonge and Bloor that seems tailor-made for investors, yet has struggled to secure its next chapter.Known as the William Britton House, the 1885 landmark offers almost 6,500 square feet of space in one of the city's most coveted neighbourhoods with endless options for transformation. One of two boardrooms in the house. The City has zoned it residential, while MPAC classifies it as a commercial condominium. That flexibility opens the door to all sorts of possibilities — from a boutique multi-unit rental to a one-of-a-kind private residence or an innovative mixed-use space.An office with leaded windows and a brass chandelier. Plus, the house itself comes with no shortage of character. Designed by Dr. William Britton, a well-respected physician and former pr...

3 w. ago There are 4 places in the GTA that cost more to live in than Toronto

When it comes to the cost of living in Canada, Toronto often takes the spotlight as one of the priciest places to call home. With its bustling downtown core, soaring condo prices, and ever-rising rent, it's no surprise many assume it tops the charts for affordability challenges, but this isn't quite the case. One would be forgiven for thinking that Toronto is the most expensive city in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), but other cities in the region regularly top the 416 in average cost of living. A recent MoneySense report reveals four cities that surpass Toronto among the most expensive places to live in the GTA, and a couple of them don't come as a huge surprise to anyone paying attention to regional home prices and the increase in living costs. Richmond HillAn aerial view of a residential street in Richmond Hill.
