lots addressed to 2810 Currently occupied by single-detached two-storey dwellings the neighbourhood surrounding the lots features residential The application notes the area’s transition in the past two decades from suburban low-rises to a transit-oriented community catalyzed by the Sheppard Subway Line's arrival in 2002 In May, 2019, the previous developer, Dormer Homes, applied for a 7-storey residence with 53 units, designed by Kirkor Architects the Province established MTSAs which encourage higher-density developments around key transit nodes intended for more concentrated development in areas that can support this growth Previous design by Kirkor Architects for Dormer Homes The new developers’ Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications propose a 42-storey residential building reaching 138.33m This design entails a total Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 30,196m² resulting in a Floor Space Index (FSI) of 12.98 The building is planned with 539 residential units plus 1,887m² of amenity space evenly split between indoor and outdoor facilities As well as one elevator to serve the garage the complex is designed with four tower elevators translating to approximately one elevator for every 135 units which indicates longer than preferable wait times for residents Three levels of underground garage would provide 136 motor vehicle parking spaces divided into 129 resident and 7 visitor spots the design offers 406 bicycle parking spaces with 368 designated for long-term use and 38 for short-term needs An aerial view of the site and surrounding area Height map for

took a big step forward with the September 3 closure of the mall's north parking lot New buildings will be joining an ongoing overhaul of the 440,000-square-foot mall — the largest since its 1961 opening in the then-city of North York — in an ambitious project to transform the site from a car-centric suburban shopping centre into a street-focused complex where people live The mixed-use redevelopment led by partners bcIMC and QuadReal Property Group will replace parking lands surrounding the mall with new retail and residential space to help ensure the mall's long-term vitality in a climate where mall demolitions are much more common than expansions Following a years-long process of planning the first visible step in adding new residential density to the site came this week when one of the mall's parking areas was shuttered to customers The mall issued a news release last week advising customers that "effective Tuesday our north parking lot will be closed to vehicle and pedestrian traffic," redirecting them to the south lot "Bayview Village Shopping Centre will remain open for the duration of the construction on the north side of the property," reads the release The parking area closed off on on the third will be redeveloped into a mixed-use complex that will feature mid-rise residences and buildings framing an outdoor retail promenade with shops and restaurants Additional development will eventually follow on the southern parking lands with high-rise residential buildings also to be anchored by new retail fronting Sheppard Avenue East with an integrated connection to Bayview station on the TTC's Line 4 Toronto shopping mall is getting a massive makeover with new shops https://t.co/bpbISWW4Ci the undertaking is expected to have produced three six-storey mid-rises and towers of 30 Meanwhile, changes are in full swing within the mall with new retailers to open in the coming months, including high-end Japanese concept Ju-Raku toward the end of 2024, and national breakfast chain Pür & Simple expected to open their fourth Toronto location at Bayview Village in January of 2025 The most recent major change within the mall came back in mid-August, when its Pusateri's location was shuttered along with almost all others operating by the luxury grocer following a surprise bankruptcy announcement Currently, the 2,326-sq.-m site, with 67-metres of frontage along Bayview, is currently occupied by four single-detached two-storey homes. In their place, a “slender and attractive tower” is proposed comprising 30,196 sq. m of residential space in what appears to be an almost gold metallic exterior designed by Wallman Architects The building would rise above a six-storey podium containing the main lobby space and a series of outdoor amenity terraces along the Bayview Avenue frontage the 539 units would be divided into four studio apartments m of indoor amenity space and an equal amount of outdoor amenity space spread across the ground and fourth levels including the terraces overlooking Bayview there are 129 resident vehicular parking spaces across three levels of underground parking and 406 bicycle parking spaces planned for the development the proposed development wouldn’t just be conveniently close to the 401 but also within walking distance of Bayview subway station providing a quick trip to Yonge-Sheppard Station to shoot you right into the city centre Pedestrian view from Bayview Avenue looking northwest (Wallman Architects) Pedestrian view from Bayview Avenue looking west (Wallman Architects) residents would want-not for convenience with Bayview Village Shopping Centre just up the street endless shops and restaurants a subway ride away on Yonge Street and ample green space in the East Don Parklands just a quick trip eastward along the rails notes the changes are in response to Toronto’s housing crisis and the site's location within the Major Transit Station Area (MTSA) for Bessarion station on Sheppard Line 4 designed by BDP Quadrangle for Towncorp Investments Limited Occupying roughly 3,331m² at the northeast corner of Greenbriar Road and Talara Drive the site is home to low-rise residential properties at 23 24 existing rental units would be replaced Designed by BDP Quadrangle, the development initially took shape with a 2022 proposal for a 10-storey mid-rise building containing 169 units. However, in response to feedback from City officials and growing initiatives at all government levels to encourage urban housing density, MHBC Planning has submitted revised Official Plan and Rental Housing Demolition and Conversion applications to the City of Toronto on behalf of the developers Previous design by BDP Quadrangle for Towncorp Investments Limited The revised application proposes a 25-storey tower with a height of 85.7m more than two-and-a-half times the previously planned 32.65m while increasing the unit count from 169 to 326 including 24 rental replacement units.  The building’s new massing looks to improve pedestrian interaction along the street with the podium now scaled down from seven storeys to five The Gross Floor Area would now be 21,734m² yielding a Floor Space Index of 6.53 on the site Approximately 1,314m² of amenities would be split equally between indoors and outdoors including an outdoor terrace above the podium The building would be served by three elevators indicating slightly longer than preferable wait times the revised plan also reduces vehicular parking A two-level underground garage would house 111 parking spaces with 91 designated for residents and 20 for visitors Bicycle parking would substantially increase including 222 long-term and 24 short-term spaces for residents The site is situated 550m southwest of Bessarion station on Sheppard Line 4, with Bayview station not far to the northwest.

According to the listing which is being handled by Cushman & Wakefield the spot is “well-positioned for near-term redevelopment,” thanks to its proximity to the Bayview subway station and Highway 401 on-ramp the property is just five minutes away from Bayview Village which is the site of a massive redevelopment project that is sure to give real estate in the surrounding area something of a boost The Bayview Village project is ushering much more density into uptown Toronto after all in the form of six new condo and purpose-built rental towers that will be integrated into the existing shopping centre through adaptive reuse the listing says that the property poses the opportunity for “interim holding income” given the three-storey residential building that’s already on the site The 19,500 sq.-ft building contains 20 residential units — including 10 one-bedrooms and 10-two-bedrooms each with a private balcony — most of which are vacant the site includes “ample surface parking.” Although a definitive selling price hasn’t been specified by Cushman & Wakefield — the commercial real estate firm only says that the price is “negotiable” — realtor.ca has the property listed for $18.9M Aerial view of 2818 Bayview Avenue (Cushman & Wakefield/realtor.ca) Existing residential building on the site (Cushman & Wakefield/realtor.ca) If you peruse any listing platform these days, you’ll

be chalked up to a sign of the times: many property owners have found themselves over-leveraged given the interest rate realities that have characterized the past few years Although defaulting on mortgage payments is the most common reason for a power of sale this remedy can be initiated by the lender if the borrower has breached any covenant of their loan this means that there are some good investment opportunities to be had if you’re in the position for a big-ticket purchase One of Toronto's largest shopping malls is planning for a major makeover and expansion that will add lots of new retail space in addition to over 1,000 condo units across the site Bayview Village Shopping Centre is currently surrounded by a sea of surface parking lots but owner QuadReal wants to revamp the mall by adding a series of mixed use buildings that would extend its footprint towards Sheppard Avenue East As Urban Toronto reports, the plans call for five new buildings designed by Toronto-based architecture firms Hariri Pontarini and DIALOG Nearly 45,000 square feet of new retail space would be added to the complex much of which would take shape as an open air retail promenade is to make good on the idea of the village in the mall's name With the addition of the condos will come improved pedestrian features as well as what's being called a "town square" at the heart of the new development Early renderings also show a new entrance to Bayview Station that would provide direct access to the retail space Given the various expansions that have taken place at Yorkdale over the last decade it's not surprising to see such an ambitious plan for Bayview Village More and more malls are turning to mixed use development as a way to remain relevant in the decades ahead The city still has to approve this development application Intensified development along the Sheppard subway line is in keeping with urban planning goals for the area so we could certainly see something close to this vision take shape North York’s Bayview Village neighbourhood has long been known as luxe the area is one that only continues to improve with time As the pocket of the city sees some of its most utilized components upgraded -- transit hubs and community centres considered -- it’s no surprise eyes are increasingly turning to Bayview Village as a place to call home Bayview Village saw the average price for condos and single-family homes increase 8-10 per cent in 2020 from the year prior the price of a detached home is climbing higher than the city’s average But this isn’t particularly shocking in today’s red-hot housing market especially considering the vibrant neighbourhood’s obvious appeal you’ll find all the trappings of a refined family-friendly urban lifestyle that facilitates an ever-important work-life balance At a time when a collective craving for more outdoor space runs high nearly one quarter of Bayview Village is green space that ranges from tree-filled parks and quiet parkettes Adding to the family-friendliness is a large YMCA The neighbourhood also wins points in the convenience department Sitting within the confines of Finch Avenue Bayview Village offers a reprieve from the towering city concrete but the downtown core is never too far away the area is also on the verge of welcoming the new Bessarion Community Centre Bessarion Community Centre (MacLennan Jaunkalns Miller Architects) the multi-use facility will include a 13,000 square-foot library a 38,000 square-foot recreation space complete with a double-gymnasium currently under construction near Bessarion Road and Sheppard Avenue East will also provide underground parking spaces for nearly 200 vehicles Bayview Village’s condo market hasn’t been graced with new supply for years Though they boast relatively spacious units compared to their downtown counterparts the neighbourhood’s current condos arguably lack the lustre of newer buildings found throughout North York An anticipated new project from national developer Canderel, however, is now giving prospective residents and GTA realtors something to talk about. Located in the heart of the neighbourhood, the upscale 10-storey boutique midrise – aptly named Bayview at The Village – will add an overdue touch of modern luxury to Bayview Village’s condo scene “Bayview village is a thriving part of Toronto that is rich in urban amenities in a beautiful and well-connected part of the city,” says Brett Miller “We wanted our project to be a reflection of the great energy and community spirit of this family-friendly neighbourhood.” the eye-catching building will feature a high contrast façade with a black and white rectilinear pattern that sets it apart from the neighbourhood’s more dated developments The quieter residential side will feature Urban Town units with private front gardens that face Greenbriar Road and transition to townhouses that surround a new park Notable talking points include a slew of modern amenities (including a particularly relevant and appreciated co-working space) an editorial worthy design courtesy of II BY IV DESIGN and an elegant 2-storey jewel box-inspired lobby Bayview at The Village caters to young families who are in the market to access the increasingly desired neighbourhood who will be drawn to its three-bedroom suites and Urban Towns The highly crafted residential development also brings exciting new retail options and green space that will add even more value to the surrounding community Bayview Village’s hot real estate market will likely only get hotter once its neighbourhood-enhancing upgrades like the revamped community-centric shopping centre and coveted condo building are complete you may want to make a move soon – literally Bayview at The Village offers suites ranging from studios to three-bedroom suites starting from the mid $400’s and Urban Towns from $1M. To register visit www.canderelbv.com Developers bcIMC and QuadReal have submitted a revised version of their plan to intensify Bayview Village Shopping Centre at Bayview and Sheppard in the Toronto borough of North York The proposal to redevelop surface parking lots with new buildings and improve connections to Bayview subway station seeks Zoning Bylaw Amendments and an Official Plan Amendment with the latest resubmission the result of a without prejudice settlement offer following an appeal to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT).  The Hariri Pontarini Architects and DIALOG-designed proposal dates back to an application filed in July seeking zoning for four mixed-use buildings along with a mix of underground and above-grade parking to intensify the site of mall The proposal was presented at public meetings to work through the plans with City staff and members of the community.  the project was appealed to the LPAT following City Council’s failure to make a decision within the allotted 180 days of the submission During the first prehearing conference in October the City and bcIMC stated that discussions were ongoing towards a settlement plan resulting in a settlement hearing being planned for the following spring Further unresolved issues led to delays in the appeals process and a subsequent series of prehearings culminated in a settlement offer being tabled this January outlining revisions for the project in preparation for a final September The settlement offer is divided into two blocks of buildings along with public spaces with a total gross floor area (GFA) of 149,123 m² consisting of 80,995 m² of residential space and 68,127 m² of retail space In the southwest corner of the property fronting Sheppard Avenue a six-storey podium would support towers rising to 29 and 30 storeys and with maximum tower floor plate sizes of 795 m² These heights have been adjusted from the previous proposal's 28 and 33-storey towers A total gross floor area of 65,950 m² is proposed for the southwest development which would include an above ground parking structure with an approximate gross floor area of 11,000 m² Southwest towers at Bayview Village redevelopment A total of 687 condominium units would be housed on this portion of the site At least 10% of the total number of units are proposed with three or more bedrooms and 40% are proposed with either two or three bedrooms. The unit breakdown includes a mix of 406 one-bedroom and one-bedroom+den layouts The parking garage would be built at the southwest corner of the mall replacing existing surface parking for the adjacent Loblaws grocery store A set of renderings for the new five-level above-grade garage show prominent Loblaws branding as well as a mix of colourful cladding meant to add visual interest in place of a typical unadorned concrete garage To the north and east of the existing mall plans call for a pair of six-storey buildings a 20-storey tower (increased from 19 storeys) and a modernized north face to the existing mall combining for an approximate total GFA of 39,600 m² Looking southwest across Bayview Village redevelopment The north development's three buildings would house a combined 345 residential rental units Looking southeast across Bayview Village redevelopment Both public and privately-owned public spaces (POPS) are planned for the site including a 930 m² POPS adjacent to the southwest portion's pair of towers two public parks would be conveyed to the City while a 3,275 m² (0.92 acre) park is planned in the northeast corner The Settlement Proposal was prepared in advance of an April 7th meeting with the North York Community Council Those meetings have been postponed because of the Covid-19 situation as will be a meeting with a local residents group and the City to finalize other project details Additional information and images can be found in our Database file for the project UrbanToronto has a new way you can track projects through the planning process on a daily basis.

In the biggest single Canadian property sale of the year, the Financial Post has learned that the 440,000 square foot mall was conditionally sold to a group representing the British Columbia Investment Management Corp. after a battle that saw some of Canada’s biggest real estate heavyweights team up. But it’s not the only domino about to fall in the retail real estate market. The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board is said to also have a tentative deal for six of its regional malls, selling them to a group of small pension funds in a deal worth about $1.2-billion, multiple sources confirmed. “The sale process is underway and we never comment until something is official and then we do,” said Linda Sims, a spokeswoman for CPPIB, indicating the pension fund put four malls in Ontario and two in British Columbia up for sale in the summer. “This was marketed among the real estate community.” CPPIB is said to have been very interested in the Bayview Village deal, teaming up with publicly traded First Capital Realty Corp. on a bid that ultimately fell short. “It’s one-of-a-kind of real estate that only comes up once in a generation,” said one senior executive about the battle for Bayview Village which is owned by Orlando Corp., the company controlled by billionaire Carlo Fidani. The mall is said to have traded below a 4% capitalization rate — the rate of return a building is priced on. The lower the rate, the more a building is ultimately being valued at. The deal for Bayview Village doesn’t even include the Loblaws on the site which is controlled by the retail chain. “We have seen a general slowdown in investment but in terms of the good stuff, it’s right where the market has been. We have seen no noticeable slowdown,” said Ross Moore, national research director of CB Richard Ellis Canada. The Canadian commercial market saw about $31-billion in activity last year, coming close to breaking the record set in 2007 of $32-billion, according to CBRE. Mr. Moore now says the market is forecasting about $26-billion in 2013 sales. Bayview Village might have driven a higher price because it’s located in what is fast becoming a densely populated area along a new subway line the city built a decade ago. Sources indicate the buyers might be seizing on the development opportunity to put high-rise condominiums in the parking lot. “For properties like this, you can put together a scenario where you can justify almost any price,” said one real estate source. The CPPIB deal is said to be for a cap rate in the 5.5% range and while still considered good regional malls, they are in secondary markets like Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie. “There’s nothing wrong with the CPP malls, they are quality assets just in secondary markets,” said a source. “The Bayview Village is just a great collection of property with access to the highway but most importantly it’s in the centre of a huge high density area.” Michael Smith, an analyst with Macquarie Equities Research, said in a research note recently that higher quality properties should be able to better withstand downward pressure on prices as the real estate market slows down. “Lower quality properties will see significantly more cap rate expansion,” Mr. Smith wrote, before yesterday’s deal became widely known in the real estate world. transmission or republication strictly prohibited This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

location in Bayview Village Shopping Centre They’re serving up their typical fare of falafel, salads, and feasts of side dishes, but with a few slight additions to the cocktail menu and of course, another new and stunning design by Commute A wall design that covers an entire half of the restaurant depicts a ski hill in Beirut meant to defy expectations about the part of the world this cuisine is inspired by a refreshing mix of hand chopped parsley and bulgur with tomato Palate-cleansing pickles ($2) are an assortment of olives Along with that you have your soft flatbread ($3.50) and super thick One of the cocktails created especially for this location by Tabule mixologist Nishantha Nepulongoda is the Mzaar ($13) a Moscow-mule-like combo of gin lime and ginger beer that’s kicked up a notch with cinnamon syrup The other special cocktail here is the Arabian Chiquita ($13) made with Tromba tequila It packs less of a punch for me than the cinnamon cocktail knowing folks are going to be in the mall during daytime Classic falafel ($6.50) have always been crunchy Fried eggplant ($6.50) topped with a lemon garlic dressing is simple and sumptuous Fried cauliflower or arnabeet ($7.75) is perfect balance of oily and crispy Teeny spicy sausages ($7.50) called ma’anek are a warm blend of ground beef and Middle Eastern spices Basterma ($12) is kind of like Middle Eastern prosciutto seasoned cured beef that here is complemented by creamy labni and a leafy pile of peppery arugula Ontario lamb dry aged in house that’s spiced and moist The kefta banadura ($18.95) almost reminds me of Italian balls of ground mixed beef and lamb in a tomato garlic sauce A banquette stretches around the perimeter of the restaurant in an appealing shade of teal More seating fills the middle of the
