Council considers 48-storey residential tower at Poyntz Avenue with rental replacement units
City Council is being asked to approve an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment for a 535-unit residential building at 15-25 Poyntz Avenue, including 8 rental replacement units and ground-floor retail. The proposal intensifies an underutilized site near a major transit station and aligns with the city's Official Plan and provincial planning policy.

Why is this story here?
ContainedA single-site zoning amendment affecting one property. Hard to reverse once the building is approved and constructed, which raises it above housekeeping, but bounded to this one site without citywide precedent or policy change. Does not constrain future council options beyond this parcel.Touches a narrow groupA 48-storey tower at this address affects residents and workers at that location and nearby properties through construction, shadow, and density. The effect is real for that neighborhood but does not extend across the city. Most Toronto residents do not feel this in an ordinary week.
