Toronto: a four-storey building with sixteen 2BR apartments
Sean Galbraith on BlueSky, last month:
Today at the Committee of Adjustment I was very happy to get approval for this great 4 storey, 16 unit apartment building on Gerrard near Norwood. Absolutely smooth sailing. All 2 bedrooms and has 1 level of underground parking.
What was particularly notable is the support we got from the community, with like a dozen letters of support and this amazing in person presentation from a directly abutting neighbour. It is a must watch.
We first spoke with staff about this project back in 2023 I think (it went dormant then), and at that time it would have required at least a rezoning and site plan application. Now? Only minor variances, not even site plan. Huge savings in time, effort and money.
Can't wait to do more projects like this. More homes for more people in more places.
Design by ITHD and Modern Building Group are the builders. Thanks to them for having me as part of the team.
