Riverside Square Condos

Riverside Square Condos is a new condo projects located at 677 Queen Street East (Queen St E & Broadview Ave) in Toronto. Developed by Streetcar Developments. The project Occupancy Date is Jan 2018.

• Riverside Square Condos is a Walker’s Paradise so daily errands do not require a car.
• Riverside Square is one minute walk from the 301 QUEEN, the 501 QUEEN and the 502 DOWNTOWNER at the QUEEN ST EAST AT CARROLL ST stop.
• Riverside Square Condos in the South Riverdale neighborhood in Toronto. Nearby parks include Thompson Street Parkette, Sumach-Shuter Parkette and Jimmie Simpson Park.

 

There are a total of 4 structures that differ in height (see Site Plan Above). The massing is arranged to focus density and height far from Queen Street to the south and west in favor of a mid-rise form along Queen that is in keeping with the existing built kind (4 stories along Queen stepping back and as much as 7). In the middle of the site there are 12 and 13 story heights and at the south end along Eastern we propose 8 story heights and a 24 story point tower (little 750m2 floor plate). The tower has been set roughly 300 feet back from Queen Street and 440 feet back from Broadview Avenue to eliminate shadow and visual effects on Queen and the Neighbourhood east of Broadview. The 8 story structure heights surrounding the tower enable sunlight to permeate the middle of the site and to continue reaching our existing neighbors to the east at 90 and 68 Broadview.

In overall, there are 894 units proposed which 46 % are two bedroom or bigger. The resulting site density is in keeping with densities existing in the instant place at 5.21 times the whole lot area. In contrast, the existing structure at 90 Broadview has a site density of 5.83 times the lot location and the building at 630 Queen East has a site density of 5.12.

536 domestic parking spaces (consisting of visitor) and a public parking lot including 160 spaces are planned. A more 61 spaces are dedicated to support non-residential uses for a project for a total of 722 parking areas. Similarly as crucial are the 851 bike parking areas which will certainly be accessed through a devoted bike ramp. In conjunction with parking a traffic operations evaluation was performed. It was figured out that the two accesses (Queen/Davies and Queen/Munro) can effectively service the site without effect to existing traffic flows with the addition of an extra traffic signal and crossing at Queen and Davies.
