Latest Development

The Settlement: 18 Storeys

Following City Council's unanimous refusal of Graywood's 48-storey proposal in February 2025, the developer and City staff entered into settlement negotiations.79 In March 2026, Graywood submitted a revised proposal through its counsel at Goodmans LLP, reflecting significant changes to address the City's concerns.80 City Council accepted the settlement at its meeting of March 25, 2026.78

The revised design represents a major reduction from the refused 48-storey tower. The OLT will issue its final order once all settlement conditions are finalized with the City; until then, the settlement remains subject to completion of those conditions.

Settlement at a Glance

Height and Massing

Heritage Conservation

Commercial and Community Benefits

Unit Mix

Condominiums or Rental

No decision has been made on whether the building will be condominiums or rental. According to the project architect (Diamond Schmitt), this will depend on market conditions. As of now, rental is considered more likely, but Graywood has not committed either way.

Future Design Refinement

While the building envelope, height, heritage preservation, and schematic design have been approved by the City, there will be a future phase of design development and refinement. Details such as balconies and other architectural elements will be determined during this phase.

For details on the original 48-storey proposal that was refused by City Council and the OLT appeal process, see the 48-storey proposal and OLT appeal history.

Section 1

Our Board's Agreements with Graywood

In April 2024, your board signed two legal agreements with Graywood in connection with the then-approved 14-storey project. Both concern Donna Shaw Lane — specifically the southernmost portion of the laneway, which is private property owned by our condominium corporation (MTCC No. 1329), not a public road.56

Important Context

The northern portion of Donna Shaw Lane is a public City of Toronto lane.57 The southern portion — adjacent to our building — is our private property.58 Both agreements concern only our private portion. Because these are private legal agreements, their full text is not publicly available, but key terms are summarized below.

April 2024 (effective September 7, 2023)

Easement & Compensation Agreement

  • Grants Graywood a permanent, non-exclusive surface easement over our private portion of the laneway for pedestrian and vehicular access to their site59
    An "easement" is a legal right to use someone else's property for a specific purpose — in this case, it gives Graywood the right to cross our private laneway on foot or by vehicle. Without this agreement, Graywood would have had no legal right to use our private portion of Donna Shaw Lane, and our corporation could have refused to grant access or negotiated different terms.
  • The easement runs in perpetuity60
  • Graywood paid our corporation a one-time lump sum in two installments61
  • If construction is not substantially complete within 36 months of demolition, Graywood pays an additional annual fee for continued construction vehicle access62
  • Graywood contributes an annual amount toward maintenance of our private laneway, starting when demolition commences, indexed to construction cost inflation63
  • Graywood reimburses our cleaning costs up to a specified cap for dust and debris from construction64
  • Graywood must repave our private laneway within 60 days of substantial project completion65
April 2024

Laneway Access Agreement

  • Multi-party agreement: Graywood, MTCC No. 1329, 1665637 Ontario Ltd. (Alexander Retail), and Greenrock Investments (55 Maitland, 40 and 50 Alexander)66
  • Governs construction vehicle access through the laneway during construction67
  • All construction vehicles must enter from Maitland Street and not stop in our private portion except to load/unload68
  • Vehicles must comply with noise bylaws and defined weight, height, width, and length limits69
  • Developer must maintain our parking garage and service bay access to the greatest extent possible70
  • At least 5 business days' written notice before any interruption of our access71

Exact financial figures from these private agreements have been redacted from this summary. Residents may contact the board directly for specific amounts.

What Does This Mean Now That the Project Has Changed?

Important — Please Read

These agreements were signed in the context of the previously approved 14-storey project. The proposed development has since shifted — to the OLT application for a 48-storey tower and now an 18-storey settlement. However, to the best of the board's current understanding, our legal obligations under these agreements remain in force. Based on the board's current understanding, the permanent easement does not expire because the approved design changed or was subsequently refused by Council — though this is subject to confirmation by independent legal counsel.

What this means practically:

The board will keep residents informed as legal advice is received and as the remaining development proceedings continue.

Section 2

The Development Site Next Door

The property at 506–516 Church Street is near our building (The Alexus and the Graywood properties are separated by a private property, approximately 24 feet wide, with a two-storey building), connected to us by Donna Shaw Lane — the laneway running between Maitland Street to the north and Alexander Street to the south.1 The development site faces Church Street to the east and backs onto the laneway to the west; our property sits at the southern end of that same laneway, making 506–516 Church Street nearly adjacent to us to the north.

The site is currently occupied by:

The heritage buildings at 508–510 Church Street are formally designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (By-law 942-2022).5 Originally built around 1856–1858 as part of a row of semi-detached residences,6 they have been home to Crews & Tangos — a landmark of Toronto's 2SLGBTQ+ community — since 1994.7

Section 3

A History of the Development Proposals

This is not the first time Graywood has proposed development at 506–516 Church Street. This proposal begins years ago with a much smaller project — and the current controversy stems from the developer's decision to dramatically increase the scale of what it wants to build.

2020–2021
Graywood's First Proposal: A 14–15 Storey Building

Graywood CM GP Inc.,12 a Toronto-based real estate developer founded in 1985,13 first proposed a mid-rise mixed-use building for the site. Designed by Diamond Schmitt Architects, it would reach 14–15 storeys with ground floor commercial uses and partial heritage conservation of 508–510 Church Street. Extensive community consultation followed, including multiple public meetings.

May 10, 2022
Heritage Designation of 508–510 Church Street

The Toronto Preservation Board adopted staff recommendations to designate 508 and 510 Church Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.14 City Council formally adopted the designation in June 2022.15

July 19, 2022
City Council Approves the 14-Storey Project

City Council approved Graywood's application for a 14-storey mixed-use building containing 165 dwelling units and 798 square metres of retail space16 (Official Plan Amendment No. 605 and Zoning By-law Amendment No. 1054-2022).17 A Section 37 community benefits agreement and Heritage Easement Agreement were required as conditions.18

April 2024
Our Board Signs the Laneway Agreements

In connection with the then-approved 14-storey project, our board (MTCC No. 1329) signed two agreements: an Easement and Compensation Agreement with Graywood CM GP Inc., granting laneway access rights over our private portion of Donna Shaw Lane (with an effective date of September 7, 2023 to accommodate reimbursement and compensation of legal fees incurred by the corporation during the negotiations),19 and a Laneway Access Agreement, together with other laneway users (Greenrock Investments and the Alexander Retail entity), governing construction vehicle use of Donna Shaw Lane.21 See Agreements section for details.

Mid 2024
Graywood Cancels the 14-Storey Project

Graywood cancelled the approved 14-storey condominium and returned deposits to purchasers, citing the project was not financially viable at the approved scale.20

October 2024
Graywood Files a New Application: 48 Storeys

Graywood submitted a new planning application (No. 24 226502 STE 13 OZ)22 for a 48-storey, 151.8-metre tower with 574 residential units23 — more than three times the previously approved height. The project is again designed by Diamond Schmitt Architects. See the 48-storey proposal details.

December 18, 2024
City Planning Staff Recommend Refusal

The Director of Community Planning, Toronto & East York District, issued a 25-page Refusal Report recommending the application be refused as incompatible with Church Street Village Character Area policies.24

January 14, 2025
Toronto & East York Community Council Adopts Refusal

On a motion by Councillor Chris Moise (Ward 13 – Toronto Centre), the Community Council unanimously recommended City Council refuse the application.25

February 5, 2025
City Council Formally Refuses the Application

City Council adopted the refusal on consent, without debate,26 and authorized the City Solicitor to defend the decision before the OLT if appealed.27

February 19, 2025
Graywood Appeals to the Ontario Land Tribunal

Graywood, represented by Goodmans LLP (Joe Hoffman),28 filed two appeals with the OLT following Council's refusal — one on the Official Plan amendment and one on the Zoning By-law amendment. The cases are consolidated as Graywood CM GP Inc. v. Toronto (City), lead case OLT-25-000154. See the OLT appeal details.

April 2025
Board Puts Agreement Payments on Hold

Graywood forwarded a payment due under the Easement & Compensation Agreement. The board notified Graywood to hold off on further payments until both parties addressed the implications of the change in project proposal from 14 to 48 storeys. This step was taken to ensure the corporation did not imply acceptance of the existing agreements — negotiated for the earlier, smaller project — in the context of the significantly larger proposal now under appeal.

June 2025
Our Corporation Is Granted Participant Status at the OLT

MTCC No. 1329 applied for and was granted formal Participant status in the OLT proceeding, giving our corporation the right to submit a written Participant Statement setting out our position on the proposed development.31

March 25, 2026
City Council Accepts Settlement: 18 Storeys

Following negotiations between Graywood and City staff, a revised proposal was submitted reducing the project from 48 storeys to 18 storeys (60 m excluding mechanical penthouse) with approximately 161 units. City Council accepted the settlement, which includes significant setbacks from Church Street, heritage facade conservation, a $2,000,000 Section 37 contribution, and right of first refusal for existing tenants on commercial space. See details below.

Section 4

What This Means for Residents of 70 Alexander

Construction Impacts on the Laneway

Donna Shaw Lane is the primary access route for our parking garage, service bay, and building deliveries. If construction proceeds at any scale, our laneway will experience increased construction traffic. Our Laneway Access Agreement includes important protections: construction vehicles must approach from Maitland Street, defined size limits apply, and 5 business days' written notice is required before any interruption of our access.72 The developer is also obligated to repave our private portion of the laneway after construction is substantially complete.73

Shadow and View Impacts

The settlement reduces the project from 48 storeys to 18 storeys, which will significantly lessen shadow and visual impacts compared to the refused proposal. However, an 18-storey building to the north will still be taller than the previously approved 14-storey project. The settlement's 15-metre setback from Church Street and stepped massing are designed to preserve the low-rise heritage streetscape character. Residents in units facing north would be most affected by any new development on this site.

Timeline

With the settlement accepted by City Council in March 2026, the project will move through the remaining approval conditions before the Ontario Land Tribunal issues its final order. Construction timing will depend on when all conditions are finalized and building permits are obtained.
