Toronto's historic Distillery District could see some new life if plans to build a mixed-use building comprised of a 32-storey tower and a 9-storey podium are approved by City planners.
Last month, a revised Site Plan Approval application was submitted following a series of resubmissions for a proposed 9-storey and 32-storey mixed-use building containing approximately 1,839 square metres of non-residential gross floor area, 485 residential dwelling units, and 213 below-grade parking spaces.
The project, from Graywood Developments, is proposed for 33 and 37 Parliament Street, located on the east side of Parliament Street, south of Mill Street within the King-Parliament neighbourhood and is adjacent to the southwestern edge of the historic district.
This development joins a series of other projects proposed for the area, including a 31-storey hotel from Gupta Group, that would be built on top of a heritage building.
