A proposal for additional rental
housing at 50 Stephanie Street.

The Vision
50 Stephanie Street is located in the heart of downtown Toronto, with great access to transit, retail, amenities, and greenspace. Given the site's great access to area amenities, we are proposing a new mid-rise infill rental building to the north of the existing building. This new building will contribute much needed rental housing for people wishing to move to the area, as well as new amenities for current and future residents. As part of the proposal, the existing apartment building at 50 Stephanie Street will remain.


Guiding Principles
PURPOSE-BUILT RENTAL HOUSING IN A VIBRANT AREA
NEW AMENITIES, PARK SPACE, AND PUBLIC REALM IMPROVEMENTS
CONSIDERATE DESIGN

Current Site
50 Stephanie Street is located on the northeast corner of Beverley Street and Stephanie Street in downtown Toronto, just south of Grange Park. The site is currently occupied by a 24-storey residential apartment building and a vacant open space area.
The site is near convenient transit, retail, services, greenspace, and important cultural and educational institutions:



Commitment to Existing Tenants at 50 Stephanie Street
The proposal is for a new mid-rise building to be built where there is currently a vacant open space to the north of the existing building. There will be a new amenity space connecting the new and existing building. The existing apartment building at 50 Stephanie Street will remain as part of the proposed development, with minor construction made to a portion of the ground floor to accommodate the new amenity space. The owners of 50 Stephanie Street are committed to supporting existing tenants throughout the process. We encourage existing tenants to reach out if they have questions or would like to provide feedback.
