The applicant also submitted an application for Site Plan Approval on February 11, 2022. The proposal would provide 549 residential units and 998 square metres of at-grade retail.

In honour of North York's 100th anniversary since its incorporation as a township, the City of Toronto opened a 50-year-old time capsule on July 13, 2022.
