808 Courtland Ave E | 30, 27 and 22 fl | Proposed - ZEBuilder - 09-26-2024
This a project being proposed by 808 Courtland GP Inc, Zehr Group is involved in the project but from the wording of some of the documents it appears that there may be other players as well.
The project itself is 3 residential towers at 30, 27 and 22 floors, there are 342 1 bdrm units, 469 1 bdrm/den, 156 2bdrm and 10 3bdrm units proposed in the development. The development also includes 5727sqft of commercial space fronting Courtland. There will be 733 bicycle parking spaces and 509 vehicle spaces, there will be two floors of underground parking and 6 floors of structured parking however this is next to the 7/8 onramp so it's at least hidden from the street.
Amenity space is provided both indoors and outdoors, there is a total of 1050sqm (11302sqft) of indoor amenity space, there is also a 3550 sqm (38200sqft) of outdoor amenity space provided on the podium roof.
The architect on file is ABA, the design is certainly intriguing as the towers aren't standard squares/rectangles, it also has enough colour to be interesting if done well.

Better than the local average, if it bears any resemblance to the final product.

Looks pretty good. I wish our planners could force more lot to lot connections for pedestrians and AT though. This one would so obviously benefit from having an exit at the rear through the existing towers property to get to the school and the highway ped overpass faster.

When you read through one of the docs I can't remember which one (maybe the most recent cover letter). The Region/City were asking for provisions for a trail in the MTO setback for a future trail connection up to Vanier, however there are definitely issues with getting one in their which were recognized but from the documents they appeared willing to try to get one in their. The biggest issue is caused by the grading which itself is a product of the flood plain.

Ah, yes, but the golf course would be downwind from the apartment and it would affect the handicap of most golfers. Councillors will shelve this project.

I expect that this will be a purpose-built rental--right?

Zehr historically hasn't done purpose built rental buildings, they've only just started doing them with their Stride buildings, they've done Stride on Union and then they're planning on doing another of their Stride buildings at Weber/Franklin where they have zoning approval for something significantly larger then what their Stride development will be.
In all likelihood this will end up being condos like 660 Belmont and 20 Ottawa St N (both my them are planned as condos for now).

rentals can always be converted to condos down the road...

Three-tower proposal approved in Kitchener, but with water-related restriction
A similar holding provision was also applied to a smaller proposal, as the city contends with regional water supply concerns.
