Council to decide on 15-storey mixed-use building at 2273, 2277 and 2279 Bloor Street West
City staff recommend approving a zoning change to allow a 15-storey mixed-use building with 60 residential units and ground-floor retail on three adjacent sites in the Bloor West corridor, within a Protected Major Transit Station Area. The development includes a 0.4 metre right-of-way widening and aligns with the Official Plan and Provincial Planning Statement.

Why is this story here?
ContainedA single-site zoning variance within a PMTSA, permitting a 15-storey building on three consolidated lots. The decision is bounded to this address and reversible by future council if circumstances change; it does not constrain citywide policy or lock in multi-year commitments affecting many sites. Substantial capital investment in one place, but not a structural change to zoning or process.Touches a narrow groupThe building, if approved and built, will change the streetscape at this specific intersection and add housing supply locally. However, as of today the zoning has not changed, no construction has begun, and the effect is not present in residents' weeks. Salience is narrowed to those in the immediate vicinity and those shopping or commuting on Bloor West at this location. This is not a broad transit route impact or a citywide policy; it is a single block.
