Walmer Road &
St. Clair Ave. W
A proposed new mixed-use building
on Walmer Road - just north
of St. Clair Avenue West
The Vision
Our vision is to create new family-friendly homes in a range of sizes, that are in walking distance of efficient transit options. We are proposing a 19-storey mixed-use building with 87 new residential units, and introducing retail space along Walmer to create a local destination for residents of the neighbourhood.
Guiding Principles
FAMILY-FRIENDLY
HOUSING OPTIONS
25% of the residential units are 3-bedroom, which exceeds the City of Toronto’s requirements for family-sized housing in new developments. 68% of the building is proposed as 2- and 3-bedroom units. All units are planned with livability in mind and are significantly larger than typical multi-unit offerings.
SENSITIVE
DESIGN
The design aims to be complementary of the existing building scale on Walmer Road. Outdoor amenity space is located on the eastern edge of the site at the ground level, to provide a gentle transition towards the adjacent low-rise homes.
TRANSIT-ACCESSIBLE
LIVING
The site is a 5-minute walk to St. Clair West Station, which provides efficient north-south travel along the Line 1 subway, and connection to other higher-order transit around the city.
Current Site
Cedarvale Terrace is a provincially licensed long term care home (LTC). Long term care homes are regulated and funded by the provincial government. The applicant has a lease in place with the long term care facility and no changes are planned for the facility until the province elects to transition the facility.
Nothing changes for current residents of Cedarvale Terrace today, and they can continue to live in their home until such time that the province elects to transition the facility and rehouse everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions
The existing site is a 6-storey building; currently occupied by a long-term care facility, known as Cedervale Terrace.
When the time comes, all residents will be assisted and rehoused in nearby long-term care homes to help with the transition. We understand the added barriers and challenges moving may have on the residents, and the province will be communicating with them and their family members to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible.
