1280 Dundas Street S | 13 fl | Proposed

[bravado]

Just a surprisingly average and tasteful little tower at the south east edge of Cambridge, near the giant new sportsplex and a new school. The documents are suspiciously light on actual details - I wonder if this is just a rezone for future sale or just a project early in the planning stage.

Preliminary Site Plan
Urban Design Brief

[...] the development of a 13-storey apartment building, containing 88-units with an overall density of 245.8 units per hectare and a total of 124 parking spaces in an underground parking garage and on a surface parking lot.

The proposed building is 13 storeys in height in total, with three-storeys below grade for underground vehicle and bicycle parking, with an overall height of 52.1 metres. The ground floor of the building is 4.5 metres in height. The building footprint is approximately 900 square metres. The building uses the Site’s unique topography to limit the visual impact of the Site to the uses to the South, making the building appear as if it is only 12 storeys in height.

This is likely a zone and flip, the group behind this is JC Group which is effectively a holding company owning a ton of commercial property. They haven't built much in terms of residential. If they do build this would be their first apartment building.

Yeah I could go for a few like this snuck in and around the downtowns. This particular one seems a little infeasible with 3 levels of underground parking and 13' floor heights, but maybe it can be tweaked.

This will be a zone and flip, but a very risky one considering it's in Cambridge. I don't know who the hell would ever consider proposing anything in that god awful city.
