250 Springbank Drive twin towers proposal

The proposal for twin residential towers on Springbank Drive at the coves has been stalled since 2013. Any update on the status of this. It would be a huge improvement to the area and eliminate the blight of what's currently there now.

Maybe Tricar should look at buying this land, (former Toyota dealership). Sitting vacant for years now and the site would be very good for a project. Only real downsides are the view of the mobile home park and occasionally smells from the sewage treatment plant.

Looks like there is some activity on this proposal.





250-270 Springbank Drive - The purpose and effect of this zoning change is to amend the existing Bonus Zone to allow for affordable housing and an open space area, and add a special provision to permit an overall lot coverage of 29% maximum. Possible change to Zoning By-law Z.-1 FROM a Holding Residential R9 Bonus/Office Residential Special Provision (h.R9-7.H42.B(49)/OR4(2)) Zone and Open Space (OS4) TO a Holding Residential R9 Special Provision Bonus (h.R9-7( ).H51.B( ) Zone and an Open Space 4 (OS4) Zone to permit an increased height of 51.0 metres maximum, and include a special provision to increase lot coverage to 29% maximum. This amendment would continue to permit the two tower residential development with modifications to the form to include the removal of the commercial and LEED certification elements. It should be noted the owner will not be seeking LEED accreditation, however, the development is still proposed to still achieve most of the benefits of LEED. File: Z-9310 Planner: A. Riley ext.4579

From info I can find, Rand is the developer. They built those townhouses on the north side of Sarnia Road west of the CPR bridge with the New York names for the roadways. They are also building in the Singleton Rd area, south side of Southdale west of the Hellenic Centre.

Rand also has a sign up at the former golf centre on Oxford beside Fleetway. Don't think any type of proposal has come out for that land yet though. It's a big chunk though, you can just about fit all of the Cherryhill neighbourhood on it.

Would need to wait for the next phase of the Mud Creek rehab.

Planning committee approves project. Full council up next.


Springbank Drive has a number of underutilized commercial properties on that stretch that could be replaced with high density residential in the future. For example the plaza further to the west with the Giant Tiger would be great location for a multi tower mixed use development in the future.
