According to UrbanToronto, a 29-storey residential rental building has been proposed at 3005 Bloor Street West in Toronto's Etobicoke area, close to Royal York station on Bloor Line 2. Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications have been submitted to the City of Toronto.
What is proposed
The tower, designed by Sweeny &Co Architects for Montez Corporation, would rise 103 metres above a four-storey podium. It would combine a vacant former auto body shop property with a detached house at 14 Humbervale Boulevard, which would be demolished. The building would contain 318 market-rate rental units, along with retail space along the full Bloor Street frontage.
Transit access
According to UrbanToronto, Royal York station is about 140 metres from the site, a two-minute walk, and several surface routes also serve the station. The source notes that a Protected Major Transit Station Area designation is not currently in effect at Royal York station.
UrbanToronto also reports that cycling connections on Bloor Street east of Royal York Road exist, but that the lanes are threatened. According to the same report, the Province has already completed removal of the bike lanes between Royal York and Clissold roads in October 2026.
Parking and amenities
Three underground garage levels would hold 106 vehicle parking spaces and 122 bicycle spaces. The applicant proposes participating in the City's Payment-in-Lieu of Bicycle Parking program to permit the reduced bicycle supply. Residents would have about 735 square metres of indoor amenities and 539 square metres of outdoor space.
Site history and nearby projects
The site was previously planned for Windsor House Condos, a seven-storey building designed for ONE Properties. That scheme received approval in 2021 and site-specific zoning in 2024. According to UrbanToronto, other proposals nearby include a 29-storey project at 2929 Bloor Street West and a 50-storey tower at 1243 Islington Avenue, which is closer to Islington station.
These details reflect the applications as reported by UrbanToronto and remain proposals subject to the City's review.
