“Our goal is to build and support communities that deliver long-term economic and social value… With limited rental supply in the immediate area, 1153 Queen Street West is an opportunity to provide housing options in a vibrant and dynamic part of the city,” said Jay Claggett QuadReal’s Senior Vice President of Development about the company’s plans for the future.
QuadReal Property Group has submitted a proposal for a new mixed-use development that as per the plan, will rise 27 storeys high, tallest in the area, and consist of 367 residential dwellings. The plan aimed at Toronto‘s Little Portugal neighbourhood has been submitted to city.
The proposed site, located at 1153 Queen Street West, on the southwest corner of Queen Street West and Abell Street just east of the Queen and Dufferin intersection spans 27,559 sq. How about the neighborhood? Well, let’s hear from Claggett.
As per Claggett, “Similar to other QuadReal rental properties, like IMMIX, the site is in a prime transit corridor. With direct access to frequent TTC streetcar services and proximity to the future King-Liberty GO Train station, it offers strong connections throughout the city and beyond… The surrounding neighbourhood also offers a mix of amenities, including restaurants, parks, and boutique shops, which creates an attractive lifestyle hub for young professionals and families.” And, what are we getting?
- A contiguous 6,200 sq. ft of indoor amenity space
- 5,640 sq. ft of outdoor amenity space
- 133 vehicular parking spaces (113 resident spaces/20 visitor spaces)
- 407 bicycle parking spaces (333 long-term/74 short-term spaces)
Turner Fleischer Architects will be helming the design-side of the construction. Turner Fleischer rolled out a number of renderings that show a great thing in the making. Let’s have a look:
