and create a new downtown park spanning the rail corridor from Bathurst Street to Blue Jays Way, the plan has morphed into a watered-down version of this once-grand plan, instead allocating much of this space toThe latest version, which was filed with city planners in September, proposes even more residential density than before — now calling for nine towers as tall as 72 storeys and over 1,800 new residential units on the 17-acre site.
First proposed by Craft in competition with the City-led Rail Deck Park plan in 2017, a plan to build a scaled-down version of the park with tall towers occupying the northern edge of the site has evolved over the years. The towers are to contain a mix of condos, market-rate rental units, and a 210-suite hotel. Plans also call for a new City-run community centre to be built into the new high-rise neighbourhood.
Over 8.6 acres of potential parkland could eventually be built at this site, with the developer locked in to fund a"Priority Park Area."
