This application proposes a new 68-storey (214 metres plus a 10-metre mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building at 80 Bloor Street West with 3,465 square metres of retail and commercial uses on the concourse level, ground, ground mezzanine and second floors, and 39,810 square metres of residential floor area above. The existing 18-storey commercial/office tower on the site would be demolished.  A total of 181 resident vehicular parking spaces are to be provided in a 5-level underground parking garage accessible from Critchley Lane.
