A controversial condominium proposal has been shot down by the City of Toronto , marking just the latest chapter in a drawn-out saga centred around awas restarted in October 2024 when Graywood Developments proposed a 48-storey condo tower in place of a previously-approved plan tofor the site, was a gamble in a part of the city known for its community engagement, especially given the blowback the developer faced for a much smaller proposal four years earlier.
Issues raised by local residents included the tower's height and incongruity with the surrounding Church Wellesley Village, with related concerns like shadows on the public realm and Paul Kane House Parkette, support for intensification on the site, and an increase in vehicle traffic. Area residents were also not too pleased with the tower's design, and requested that the developer go back to the drawing board "to create a landmark in the Church Wellesley Village."
