Along a stretch of Balliol Street in Mount Pleasant West, an area occupied by a 2-storey townhouse complex, a proposed project has plans to bring some new life to the area.
A Zoning By-law Amendment was recently submitted to the City of Toronto to facilitate the development of the site for a 38-storey residential building with a gross floor area of 37,789 square metres.
If approved, the project, which is developed by Amelin Properties, will bring 536 new residential dwelling units to the area in addition to the existing 2-storey townhouse buildings that will be maintained.
