A plan to build a 6-storey, 42-unit apartment building in Toronto's Grange area has sparked debate, with local artist Charles Pachter initially expressing concerns but eventually welcoming the project. The development, by Green Street Flats, is geared towards students and medical residents working at University Avenue teaching hospitals.
A proposed 6-storey, 42-unit apartment on a long and skinny corner lot in the Grange area of downtown Toronto . The project, which requires an official plan amendment, is geared at university students and residents or interns working in the University Avenue teaching hospitals.
Mr. Pachter acknowledges that he got more than a little chirping about some of his other renos. For this reason, he’s decided to temper his initial objections to a new proposal to shoehorn a six-storey, 42-unit apartment on a long and skinny corner lot three doors east, a property that currently contains a rundown bungalow and a lot of alleyway parking. “I’ll be 82 in a couple of weeks,” he muses. “I believe it’s inevitable that the neighbourhood will change.
In other words, the west side of this new building will feature exterior corridors, which will enable cross-ventilation – there will be doors and windows opening onto this exterior corridor as well as windows on the east side – and provide some balcony-like outdoor space. As she puts it, “The outdoor corridors on multiple levels function almost like porches, fostering a sense of community when residents begin to personalize the spaces outside their entrance doors, with potted plants or seating.
