Frequently Asked Questions

What is currently at the site?

The site is made up of a number of low-rise mixed-use buildings. Currently, there are no retail businesses in the existing commercial units along Bathurst Street.

What is the future vision for this site?

Our vision is to redevelop the site with an 18-storey mixed-use building, including retail and residential uses. It will include the preservation of the building at 164 Bathurst Street.

Will there be amenities in the new building?

There will be new indoor and outdoor amenity spaces, which will provide recreational space for new residents.

How will the proposal address parking?

With the close proximity to existing cycle track networks along Richmond and Adelaide Street, the applicant is proposing fewer car parking spaces in favour of 224 bicycle parking spaces.

What is the timing for this project?

The application for this proposal was approved at Community Council on April 12, 2023. We anticipate that it will still be approximately six months before any construction will begin on the site.
