Architect’s proposal for Sunnybrook Plaza site

These images show a proposal for two towers containing residential and commercial units for the site of Sunnybrook Plaza. The South Bayview Bulldog reported on January 14, 2015  that the 1952 plaza was nearing its end. The property is owned by RioCan REIT which has commissioned Turner Fleischer Architects to make these depictions. According to Urban Toronto, the proposed development would feature 13 and 19-storey towers with a combined 426 residential units, made up of 71 one-bedroom, 201 one-bedroom plus dens, 56 two-bedroom and 98 two-bedroom plus dens. Rising to respective heights of 216.5 feet and 164 feet, the two towers would step back from a base building with a predominant height of eight storeys, articulated with stepbacks and setbacks at various heights. The base building would contain residential units on floors 2-8, second floor green roofs flanking a 707 square-metre outdoor amenity area and a 1,014 square-metre indoor amenity space on levels 2 and 3. At ground level 24,929 square feet of commercial retail space would address the Eglinton Avenue and Bayview Avenue frontages. Midway along the Eglinton frontage a sheltered walkway 5.49 metres wide would provide pedestrian access through the building to the north side of the development where vehicular access and the residential lobbies are located. Urban Toronto doesn’t mention parking although there would have to be an underground facility.
