Developers have submitted a Zoning By-Law Amendment to build a 14-storey mixed-use condo in Etobicoke.

Property owner Format Queensway Limited Partnership says it wants to build mid-rise structure at 75 The Queensway. KFA Architects and Planners are the designers.

DataBid.com, citing an Urban Toronto posting, reports that the property was once a gas station and associated car wash. The proposed surrounding context includes a one-storey commercial building to the west, industrial uses to the south, and proposed developments of 8-storey and 4-storey mixed use buildings currently in the works, for the north and east.

The project include 183 residential units, 185 sq. of retail fronting on The Queensway, with an eight-storey podium and three-level underground parking garage. The total lot area is 2,108 sq. m.

The building will have a five storey street wall along The Queensway, with set backs of 3 metres from the front lot line for floors 6-8, and an additional 2 metres at Floor 9. The remainder of the floors are setback an additional 3 metres from the floor below in order to fit within a 45-degree angular plane measured from 80 per cent of the planned width of the Queensway. The 14th level, that of the mechanical penthouse, features 161 sq. m.  of outdoor amenity area.

The cladding proposed will be of brick and coloured metal paneling, with punched windows for the majority of the facade and primarily glazing for the retail area and main residential lobby.
