On the agenda

I am recommending that Toronto East York Community Council add to the agenda the attached report from the Project Director, Business Transformation and Citywide Priorities, Toronto Building. 1113 Dundas Street West is one of the City's five 'Public Builder Model' sites and part of the City Council-approved Mass Timber Pilot Study.

CreateTO as owner has advised that demolishing the building prior to building permit applications being issued will allow the development to implement the necessary measures to mitigate any risks associated with construction, thereby reducing potential delays for this priority affordable housing project caused by unforeseen site conditions. Additionally, this approach will allow for the incorporation of any required reinforcements to further support the adjacent property. I respectfully request this report be added to the May 1, 2025 Toronto East York Community Council agenda as new business.
