Discover 170 Roehampton Condos: Toronto’s Premier Midtown Development

Are you on the hunt for your dream condominium in the vibrant heart of Toronto? Look no further than 170 Roehampton Condos, a stunning 46-storey mixed-use rental and condominium building designed to redefine luxury living in Midtown. In this article, we’ll explore the exciting features and benefits of this project brought to you by Capital Developments and Metropia, situated at the northwest corner of Roehampton Avenue and Redpath Avenue.

A Vision for Midtown Living

Capital Developments and Metropia have embarked on an ambitious journey to transform the corner of Roehampton and Redpath into a true urban oasis. With a Zoning By-law Amendment application submitted to the City of Toronto, they are ready to breathe new life into this dynamic neighborhood.

A Fresh Start

The property currently houses a seven-storey multi-unit residential building, featuring 53 units, with 15 serving as rental units. The vision for 170 Roehampton involves demolishing this existing structure to make way for a magnificent 46-storey condo tower, designed by the renowned Sweeny & Co Architects.

Masterful Design

Sweeny & Co Architects have left no stone unturned in crafting a visually striking and functional masterpiece. The 46-storey condo is cleverly stepped back from a five-storey base building, creating a dynamic aesthetic that blends seamlessly with the neighborhood’s character. This design approach enhances the skyline and contributes to a sense of spaciousness.

The Perfect Blend of Living Spaces

170 Roehampton offers a diverse mix of living spaces to cater to different lifestyles. The proposal includes 630 residential units, with 20 dedicated to rental replacements within the base building. The breakdown comprises 21 studios (3%), 360 one-bedrooms (57%), 186 two-bedrooms (30%), and 63 three-bedrooms (10%). This thoughtful variety ensures that there’s an ideal unit for everyone, from young professionals to families.

Convenience at Your Fingertips

One standout feature of 170 Roehampton Condos is its excellent elevator accessibility. With just four elevators servicing all 630 units, you can enjoy an efficient and comfortable ride up to your home. While there are no strict regulations for elevators per unit in Ontario, the one-to-158 ratio sets a high standard for convenience and accessibility.

A Welcoming Entrance

The main residential entrance to the building is strategically located off Roehampton Avenue. This design choice allows for a welcoming and aesthetically pleasing plaza known as a POPS (Privately Owned Publicly accessible Space) on Redpath, just north of Roehampton. It’s the perfect spot for residents to relax and socialize.

Retail Therapy and Childcare

170 Roehampton Condos is designed to be more than just a place to live—it’s a community hub. Within the base building, you’ll find a spacious 130m² double-height retail space, providing residents with easy access to shopping and dining. Additionally, there’s a 133m² childcare center, catering to the needs of families with young children.

A Touch of Townhome Living

For those who appreciate the charm of townhomes, 170 Roehampton offers an exclusive selection of four two-storey townhouse units, each with entrances fronting onto Roehampton Avenue. These townhomes provide a unique living experience while preserving the sense of community within the building.

Space That Counts

The proposed redevelopment boasts a substantial 39,656m² of residential gross floor area (GFA), 216m² of retail GFA, and 188m² of daycare space, resulting in a total GFA of 38,658m². This configuration yields an impressive Floor Space Index (FSI) of 15.25, ensuring you have all the space you need to live comfortably.

Amenities That Elevate

170 Roehampton Condos is dedicated to enhancing your quality of life. The project includes a total of 1,443m² of indoor amenity area spread across the second and third storeys of the base building, as well as the 13th storey of the tower. There’s also 494m² of outdoor amenity space on the third and 13th storeys, providing you with a range of options for relaxation and recreation.

Parking and More

Parking is a breeze with an underground garage offering 59 resident spots and 8 visitor spots. There are also 630 bicycle parking spaces for those who prefer an eco-friendly mode of transportation. Plus, with Eglinton subway and Crosstown station just 500 meters away, or a quick six-minute walk, and Mount Pleasant Crosstown station a mere 400 meters away, commuting has never been easier.

Conclusion

170 Roehampton Condos represents a remarkable opportunity to embrace the vibrant and dynamic lifestyle of Midtown Toronto. With its innovative design, thoughtfully planned living spaces, convenient amenities, and excellent transportation access, this development promises a bright future for those seeking a luxurious urban haven.

Capital Developments and Metropia have submitted Zoning By-law Amendment applications to the City of Toronto in an effort to redevelop 170 Roehampton – located on the northwest corner of Roehampton Avenue and Redpath Avenue in Midtown – into a brand new, 46-storey condo.

The property is L-shaped and is currently occupied by a seven-storey multi-unit residential building containing 53 units, 15 of which are currently are or most recently have been used as rental units. The application proposes to demolish the existing building to make way for the proposed tower.

Proposed for the site is a 46-storey condo designed by Sweeny &Co Architects, that is stepped back from a five-storey base building and a 12-storey mid-rise component. A total of 630 residential units are proposed, of which 20 would be rental replacement units located in the base building.

The proposal’s mix of units would be 21 studios (3%), 360 one-bedrooms (57%), 186 two-bedrooms (30%), and 63 three-bedrooms (10%). All 630 units would be serviced by just four elevators – offering an elevator to unit ratio of one to 158. There are no minimum standards in Ontario for elevators per unit, but a generally accepted ratio is one elevator for each 100 residential units in a high-rise tower.

The main residential entrance to the proposed building would be located off of Roehampton Avenue, where the base building would be recessed to make way for an open plaza POPS (Privately Owned Publicly accessible Space) on Redpath north of Roehampton.

Also proposed within the base building are a 130m² double height retail space and a 133m² childcare centre, each of which would have entrances off Redpath. Four two-storey townhouse units would each have entrances fronting onto Roehampton.

The proposed redevelopment consists of 39,656m² of residential gross floor area (GFA), 216m² of retail GFA, and 188m² of daycare space for a total GFA of 38,658m², which would result in a total Floor Space Index (FSI) of 15.25.

A total of 1,443m² of indoor amenity area is proposed within the second and third storeys of the base building as well as on the 13th storey of the tower, and 494m² of outdoor amenity area is proposed on the third and 13th storey of the building.

An underground garage would provide 59 resident parking spots, 8 visitor spots, and 630 bicycle parking spaces. Eglinton subway and Crosstown station is 500 metres — or a six minute walk — from the site, while Mount Pleasant Crosstown station is 400 metres away.
