The Official Plan Amendment proposes to redesignate the lands at 29-45 Berwick Avenue from Neighbourhoods to Apartment Neighbourhoods and permit a tall building on the site. The Zoning By-law Amendment proposes a 165-metre residential building (49 storeys, excluding mechanical penthouse).

A Rental Housing Demolition Application has also been submitted. On December 15, 2025, the applicant appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Application to the Ontario Land Tribunal ("OLT") due to Council's failure to make a decision within the time frame in the Planning Act. This Report recommends that the City Solicitor with the appropriate City Staff attend the OLT hearing to oppose the application in its current form and to continue discussions with the applicant to resolve any outstanding issues.
