29-Storey Tower to Replace Strip Mall in Scarborough Village

Days may be numbered for an unassuming strip mall in Scarborough Village. According to a proposal prepared by WND Associates and filed with the City in mid-May, Scarboro Golf & Country Club Residences Inc. is seeking to replace a two-storey retail strip at 3174-3182 Eglinton Avenue East and an abutting single-storey building at 7 Centre Street with a 29-storey mixed-use tower. The development stands to add 342 residential units to the area.

The proposal shows that, inclusive of the mechanical penthouse, the tower would reach a height of 98 metres. It also specifies that 22,818 sq. m of gross floor area (GFA) are planned, with just over 22,568 sq. m to be dedicated to residential. The remaining GFA, which comes in at around 250 sq. m, is expected to accommodate a retail component at-grade fronting Eglinton Avenue East. A single-level underground parking structure with 48 parking spaces is also planned.

As well, the tower would accommodate two indoor amenity rooms, slated for the 5th and 7th floors and both connecting to two outdoor amenity areas “to be programmed with a range of seating, social, and cooking areas.”

Renderings prepared by SvN - Architects + Planners show a 23-storey pre-cast-clad tower with “chamfered corner conditions” and an “angled profile.” Inset balconies line the building facade on all sides.

The podium distinguishes from the tower element with masonry cladding and presents an irregular profile, reading visually as six storeys along Eglinton Avenue, and as seven storeys along Centre Street. This is to accommodate a double-height retail area, as well as loading area clearance requirements at the rear.

Scarborough Village -- currently characterized by a mix of detached and semi-detached dwellings, townhomes, and mid-to-high-rise apartments -- has become something of a hotspot amongst developers as of late, with more than a dozen proposals awaiting City review in the immediate area.

This includes a 20-storey tower proposed by TAS for 3730 Kingston Road. If realized, the development stands to bring 384 residential units to the area, 10% of which are planned to be affordable.
