WYNFORD DRIVE

TORONTO, ONTARIO

THE OFFERING REPRESENTS

AN UNMATCHED OPPORTUNITY FOR A LARGE-SCALE DEVELOPMENT POISED TO LEAVE A LASTING, MOMENTOUS MARK ON MIDTOWN AND THE TORONTO SKYLINE

CBRE’s Land Services Group is pleased to offer for sale 175 Wynford Drive (known as the “Site” or “Property”) in the City of Toronto. Ideally situated within the growing and highly sought-after midtown market, the Site is presently occupied by the Toronto Don Valley Hotel, a 224,890 sq. ft., 354-suite hotel and convention centre, generating meaningful holding income. The location of the Site is truly unmatched along the Crosstown LRT line at Wynford Station and adjacent to the Don Valley Parkway and Eglinton Avenue East interchange, providing multi-transit optionality to the rest of the City.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

  • The Site received OLT approval for a Zoning By-Law Amendment (ZBLA) in May 2023 to allow for a large-scale, multi-tower development.
  • The Property is approved for four towers connected by two podiums ranging in heights from 49 to 54 storeys. As per the approved ZBLA, the Site has a maximum total GFA of 1,841,559 sq. ft., of which a maximum 1,636,114 sq. ft. may be permitted for residential uses.
  • There is no maximum residential unit count on the approved ZBLA, although it is proposed that the development will accommodate 2,497 residential units.
  • In addition, a 125-suite hotel is also permitted on Site that is proposed to be located in Tower 1 and a 6,135 sq. ft. day care in the podium of Tower 3 and 4. There is proposed to be four levels of underground parking to accommodate all of the parking requirements for the hotel, residents, visitors and retail, including the onsite daycare. Please note that a formal Site Plan application has not been submitted by the vendor, allowing the purchaser to refine the plans based on their own preferences and designs.

OVER THE PAST DECADE, THE DON MILLS AND EGLINTON NEIGHBOURHOOD HAS EXPERIENCED A SURGE OF INTEREST FROM THE HIGH-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY OWING TO THE ENHANCED TRANSIT CONNECTIVITY AND VAST ARRAY OF AMENITIES IN THE AREA THAT APPEAL TO A WIDE DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE.

  • The Property contributes meaningfully to the development of transit-oriented communities in Toronto, as the Site is steps from the Eglinton Crosstown, providing connection to the nearby future Ontario Line and the TTC Line 1 subway at Yonge-Eglinton, which is only six stops away. 
  • The area boasts a variety of amenities and services including the CF Shops at Don Mills, the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, both the Rosedale Golf Club and Donalda Golf Club, and the Aga Khan Museum.

APPLICATION STATUS

ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT

  • The OLT settlement approvals allow for the redevelopment of the Site into an exceptional four-tower development with heights from 49 to 54 storeys atop a 5- and 6-storey podium comprised of hotel, retail, community uses and a daycare.
  • As per the approved ZBLA, the total maximum GFA permitted on the Site is 1,841,559 sq. ft. (171,086 sq. m.), of which a maximum of 1,636,114 sq. ft. (151,324 sq. m.) may be used for residential. As part of the approvals, there is no maximum residential unit count, although based on the current proposed plans the entire development allows for 2,497 residential units to be built. In addition, the Site allows for a 125-suite hotel located within Tower 1. There will also be 6,135 sq. ft. (570 sq. m.) daycare located in podium of Tower 3 and 4.

AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT, THERE WILL BE FOUR LEVELS OF UNDERGROUND PARKING TO ACCOMMODATE ALL PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE HOTEL, RESIDENTS, VISITORS AND RETAIL, INCLUDING THE DAYCARE ON-SITE.

  • As per the ZBLA, a minimum of 431 spaces for residents and resident visitors, 22 spaces for the hotel and retail and 1 parking space for community/day care space shall be provided. 
  • Initial ZBLA was submitted in September 2020 to allow for the entire Site to be redeveloped and a subsequent revised application was then filed in June 2021.
  • Working with the City of Toronto, the revised application was further modified, resulting in the current plans that were presented at the settlement hearing in May 2023, which the OLT approved with conditions. Please note that a Site Plan application has not been submitted by the vendor.

THE VENDOR SUBMITTED A DRAFT PLAN OF SUBDIVISION APPLICATION IN AUGUST 2021 IN ORDER TO CREATE THREE NEW BLOCKS ON THE SITE IN ADDITION TO A NEW STREET OFF WYNFORD DRIVE.

  • Please note that the vendor has withdrawn the Draft Plan of Subdivision application as of 2023, as the current proposal does not include the dedication of a public road, but rather the new road into the Site will be private.
  • A 2.62-acre block will be created for the development, in addition to a new 1.8-acre block along the northern portion of the Site dedicated for natural heritage. A new 0.44-acre park block is proposed to be located along the eastern portion of the Site, behind the existing Delmanor Wynford retirement residence, which is proposed to be a privately-owned public space (POPS).
