CentreCourt is constructing a 45-storey residential condominium building at 319-323 Jarvis Street.

A temporary pedestrian walkway is provided within the closed portion of the northbound curb lane. City Council, at its meeting on June 18 and 19, 2019, approved the subject staging area from June 25, 2019 to August 31, 2021. The developer had initially anticipated receiving the required approvals to begin construction in early 2019 and commencing construction activities shortly afterwards. However, the final decision from the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal was only received on March 19, 2021. Therefore, the developer has only recently been able to start construction activities on the subject site. Transportation Services is requesting authorization to extend the duration of the construction staging area on Jarvis Street for an additional 40 months (September 1, 2021 to December 31, 2024) in order to complete the construction of the development.
