We are proud to share news that Tenblock's proposed apartment buildings at 1875 Steeles Ave. W. are recommended by City staff for rezoning approval at North York Community Council on July 9. Led by Tenblock Development Manager Graeme Kennedy, our project will reinvest in an aged and underutilized apartment site. Our plan proposes 960 apartments including 120 rental replacement and 12 new affordable apartments within buildings of 39, 33, and 14 storeys on a shared podium, delivering much-needed housing supply within a 10-15 minute trip of significant employers (DUKE Heights BIA), York University, multiple subway and GO stations, and other strategic destinations. The development enriches the public realm with 407 new trees, a 1,050 m² public park, a 520 m² POPS, and 1,929 m² of renaturalized valley lands to be conveyed into public ownership via Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). A new Bike Share Toronto station and renovated trailhead entrance to G Ross Lord Park will improve ravine access for residents and the wider community. The hostile retaining wall and narrow sidewalk along Steeles Ave. W. will be replaced with a generous landscaped boulevard and new pedestrian entrances to the buildings and site. State-of-the-art cycling facilities will support healthy and sustainable transportation choices for residents and visitors. In pursuit of our sustainability objectives, Tenblock will also pursue geo-exchange heating and cooling and an improved building envelope to reduce carbon emissions and improve operating efficiency. A best-in-class tenant support package has been established in collaboration with Senior Planner Johanna Hashim, with extensive financial and practical supports for tenants as they transition to alternative accommodations during construction, and as they return to brand new apartments with modern finishes in a new building with all the modern amenities. Tenblock is also proud to deliver 12 new affordable apartments within the replacement rental building. We are grateful to have collaborated with expert City staff, particularly Senior Planner Stephen Gardiner with collaborative management from Shelly Cham and David Sit MCIP RPP.

Alinea - Helping to Transform the City of Burlington and Surrounding Region 🏗 On June 26th, after years of visioning, consultation and engagement with a wide range of community leaders, most especially the City of Burlington, Alinea had the privilege of hosting a drop-in community open house to showcase the proposed concept for its 120+ acre site connecting the Aldershot Go Station to King Road along Highway 403.  Our 1200 King Road project will be a sustainable, vibrant, and diverse mixed-use community providing needed housing for thousands.   It will be a regional destination and transformative economic catalyst thoughtfully blending housing, retail, recreation, entertainment, and educational facilities with curated parks, open spaces and public realm. We are grateful for the work of our consulting partners (many of whom are named below) and the input and support of Burlington Mayor Marianne Meed Ward (C.Dir.), Ward 1 Councilor Kelvin Galbraith and the balance of City Council and City staff including those from Burlington Economic Development (Anita Cassidy) and its Lands Partnership Group (Mark Steffler, Ec.D.).  We also wish to thank those who were able join us in person and share their enthusiasm for the project. We appreciate the shared excitement and involvement of community stakeholders, members, and representatives – the input received is invaluable as we shape a vibrant and sustainable Burlington together. We look forward to continuing to engage the community on this and other strategic projects in the months and years ahead. We at the Alinea Group are excited to create a provincially significant ecosystem where innovation, recreation and nature thrive in harmony. Check out the video below for an overview of the 1200 King Road concept and keep an eye out for more to come!

Tenblock's transformative infill development proposal at 155 Antibes Drive is heading to North York Community Council on July 9 with a recommendation from City Planning for rezoning approval. Led by Tenblock Development Manager Dan Kwak OAA, our proposal will deliver 892 new apartments in three sustainable buildings (36, 32 and 8-storeys), while retaining and improving the existing 16-storey building with 259 apartments. Our vision to prioritize connectivity and support active transportation will be realized through a transformed public realm, including a 9.1m wide multi-use trail connecting Bathurst St and the neighbourhood, pedestrian-friendly driveway and streetscapes, top-notch bicycle facilities, on-site retail targeting a bike café tenant, and an 870 sq. m. POPS that will function as a public plaza and cycling hub with publicly-accessible cycling amenities and Bike Share Toronto stations. As with all of Tenblock’s projects, 155 Antibes will deliver a generous public realm, with nearly 50% of the 1.9 ha (4.7 acre) site dedicated to landscaping and green space including a new 560 m² public park, 72 new canopy trees, children's play area, community gardens, a shaded seating hub for the 125 Drewry bus to Finch Station, and private outdoor amenities for residents. Sustainable housing is a key priority for Tenblock, and our new buildings will make use of the latest systems and principles, with geo-exchange heating and cooling as a backbone technology for the master plan, enabling our goal to achieve higher tiers of the Toronto Green Standard and achieve net zero in all new buildings by 2030. We are grateful to work with dedicated City staff, including Senior Planner Marty Rokos, Senior Urban Designer Kaari Kitawi, and collaborative management from Shelly Cham and David Sit MCIP RPP. Special appreciation is also extended to thank Councillor James Pasternak and his office. In credit of everyone’s tremendous work and support, we look forward to appearing at North York Community Council on July 9, 2024.
