Colourful New Development Proposed For The Humber Valley

A 43-storey residential development has been proposed by The Wilby Developments Inc. that would naturalize 13,099 sq. ft of land and bring 407 residential units to the Humber Valley.

Building plans were submitted in late-November and are currently under review. If approved, the development would replace a one-storey warehouse building and a construction yard used for vehicle storage.

Located at 16 Wilby Crescent in North York's Weston neighbourhood, the 27,071-sq. -ft site sits on the southwest corner of Wilby Crescent and Hickory Tree Road just off Weston Road. Notably, the site is also a quick walk to the Weston GO/UP Express station.

Once complete, the building would be comprised of a four-storey podium and 39-storey tower element, providing 291,701 sq. ft of residential floor space. But in a deviation from the standard rectangular or square form, developers have envisioned an irregular-shaped base that comes to a point at the lobby's entrance. As well, the design features a pedestrian walkway that bisects the base of the building at-grade and is covered from above.

Designs from Graziani + Corazza Architects further differentiate the building with fun, angular forms and a colourful art piece that define's the building's facade.

Another key element of the development is the planned implementation of a public park, to be named Hickory Tree Park, that would re-naturalize the construction yard and join the Humber Valley Natural Heritage System. Through the process, the lands, which make up around 48% of the site, would be conveyed to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA).

Inside the development, you would find parking at grade and within levels two, three, and four, with residential units in the tower above. The 407 units would divided into 41 studios, 222 one-bedrooms, 103 two-bedrooms, and 41 three-bedrooms.

Also available to residents would be 9,386 sq. ft of indoor amenity space and 9,343 sq. ft of outdoor amenity space across levels five and six. For parking, residents would be provided with 82 parking spaces, six of which would be reserved for visitors, and 418 bicycle parking spaces, 41 of which are short-term spaces plus 10 publicly accessible spaces.
