Toronto – September 2, 2020 – Starlight Developments (“Starlight”) is pleased to announce its intention to add three purpose-built multi-residential buildings and stacked townhouses at its existing property located at 65 – 99 Silver Springs Boulevard (the “Property”) in Scarborough, Ontario.
“The proposal to develop purpose-built rentals at 65 – 99 Silver Springs Boulevard demonstrates our development vision and desire to improve the communities in which we operate,” stated Daniel Drimmer, Starlight’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
The 4.04-hectare site is located between Birchmount Road and Kennedy Road on the north side of Finch Avenue East, directly across from L’Amoreaux Park. The Property is walking distance to Scarborough Health Network Hospital and Bridlewood Mall, as well as many retail and dining options in the Bridlewood community. The community in which the Property is situated also offers an array of academic options for students and families with children. Residents have easy access to public transit and major highways. The Property currently consists of two mid-rise 1970s-era multi-residential buildings and stacked townhouses. Each building is separated by extensive green space and surface parking.
Starlight outlined its vision in plans submitted to the City of Toronto in July which include the construction of a new public street and three IBI Group-designed, purpose-built rental buildings of six, sixteen and twenty-two storeys. In addition, the proposed development also includes three blocks of 4‑storey stacked back-to-back townhouses.
The proposed development will add 604 new units to the City of Toronto’s rental housing stock as well as approximately 30,000 square feet of amenity space and 500 bicycle parking stalls. The back-to-back townhouses contain 54 units while the six-story apartment mid-rise building comprises 132 units and the sixteen and twenty-two storey high-rise towers comprise 192 and 226 units, respectively. The additional accommodations include 316 one-bedroom units, 177 two-bedrooms units, 57 three-bedrooms units and 54 three-bedroom townhouses. The newly created units will be in addition to the already existing 115 one-bedroom, 213 two-bedroom and 36 three-bedroom units that will be maintained as rental tenure for at least an additional 20 years.
The proposal for the Property further strengthens Starlight’s presence in Toronto and reflects its reputation for impressive assets in prime neighborhoods.
