32, 36, 38 Grand Ave S | 28 fl | Proposed - bravado - 06-10-2025

A new development application came into the City website today for a land assembly in downtown Cambridge (Galt). It seems like a project that might not be real, and only exists to propose to a potential buyer of this grouped property. It is right up the street from the Gaslight District.


Quote:A 28 storey mixed-use project is proposed in the form of a 6 storey podium and 22 storey residential tower with associated parking, amenity and landscaped areas. 454m² of commercial space is proposed as well as 328 residential dwelling units. 150 parking spaces are proposed in the podium.

In total 328 units are proposed in the form of 274 bachelor / one bedroom units and 54 two bedroom units. As noted, amenity space is provided in various forms (indoor and outdoor) throughout the building. 83 indoor bicycle storage spaces and 6 exterior spaces are to be provided. The residential access and vehicular access is proposed from Hood Street. At the 7th floor the tower portion of the building is stepped back on three sides to provide a defined base for the building and a distinctive tower component. The overall structure has a total height of 88m. The top of the building also steps back to provide a defined roof top area.

A six storey podium is proposed which will contain vehicular (150 spaces) and bicycle parking spaces.

It's not my particular design taste (what's wrong with straight, uninterrupted lines in 2025?), but assuming this is a real building and they have enough money saved up for the needless OLT fight, at least red bricks float my boat.
